Lahey Outpatient Center, Danvers
Day Surgery
Thanks to advances in surgery and anesthesia, outpatient
surgery, also known as day surgery, is a safe and preferred option
for more and more procedures. In a single day you can undergo
surgery to have your gallbladder removed, or shoulder arthroscopy
to repair a rotator cuff and go home soon after the
procedure. Studies have shown patients recover faster at
home than in the hospital. Advances in anesthesia have
produced shorter-acting anesthetic drugs. They are very
effective at keeping pain and nausea at bay and then quickly
wearing off, without any lingering effects.
To have the best day surgery experience, it is important that
you choose the right place where expert care is delivered in a
comforting environment. Lahey Outpatient Center, Danvers
has highly trained and experienced staff of surgeons and
anesthetists, as well as experienced surgical nurses, who have a
talent for helping patients and families feel at ease.
After all day surgery is still surgery. It is important that
you follow our surgery/procedures guidelines which you can
downloaded here. It is also essential that patients focus on
being informed and prepared for your surgery or procedures.
Ask your physician or nurse what you can expect the day of your
surgery and what your recovery will be like.
There are complementary programs offered on-site at Lahey
Outpatient Center, Danvers, such as physical
rehabilitation and lifestyle
management. You can expect that you and your family
members will be well cared for and well informed from the moment
you schedule your surgery at Lahey Outpatient Center, Danvers
through your recovery at home.
