The Benefits of Office-Based Surgery

With general advances in patient safety and care, it is possible now to perform more and more procedures in the office, as opposed to the hospital.

There are multiple benefits of office-based surgery:

 · Convenience – A visit to a single location is easier to navigate and there is generally more flexibility in scheduling.

· Lower Risk of Hospital Infections – Hospitals are great places, but they are filled with sick people! Lower the chance of a hospital-borne infection by staying out of one.

· Lower Costs – Without the need to pay for additional hospital staff, costs may be somewhat lower. Of course, this can only be determined after a review of details with a practice’s financial counselor.

· Fewer Side Effects – Office-based anesthesia has improved dramatically over the years and your provider will be able to discuss your particular options.

· Privacy & Comfort – No pre-operative and post-operative rooms with dozens of other patients.

While the benefits are clear, one needs to make sure that the clinician and the staff are properly trained, accredited, and prepared to deal with any unplanned emergencies. How does one do that? It’s simple – just ask!
