What we do...

Outpatient SurgeryOutpatient surgery is very common. Since the early 80's more and more surgery is done in the outpatient surgical department. This has many advantages, although often times patients are put off by the thought of "going home too soon"! Much better and faster acting anesthetic drugs, better and safer monitoring techniques and quicker, less invasive surgical techniques make this possible.The surgeons at Windham Surgical Group are all fully board certified in general surgery and familiar with many operations in the outpatient setting. Almost all hernia and gallbladder surgery is done as an outpatient. Most breast biopsies are done by minimally invasive techniques and are done in about 20 minutes! Even some of the most advanced lung cancer surgeries like mediastinoscopy can be done as an outpatient. All screening colonoscopies and upper endoscopies are done as an outpatient. The use of propafol for the sedation makes these procedures much safer and more comfortable. Most insurance companies still approve this medication for these procedures.
When you are discharged home, the nursing staff will explain any discharge instructions or wound care issues; the following day they will call you on the phone to check on your progress! |
