Patients may be referred for day surgery from outpatient clinics, emergency 

      departments or primary health care.

      Patient should visit the hospital only once prior to surgery 

      first visit to surgery OPD

      same day visit the anesthesia clinic

      same day get lab investigations done, ECG & Chest X ray

      next visit will be on the day of surgery 

      Patients recommended for Day Surgery are selected according to the

      criteria

      General Patient Selection:

      Patients of physical status of ASA I or II or medically stable ASAIII. 

      Careful assessment of medical co-morbidities is undertaken in all

      patients with particular attention potentially difficult airway.

      A nominal BMI is established of which patients would be referred

      or early consultation with an anesthetist.

      Pediatric:

      Infants and children are suitable provided specific arrangements

      or their treatment are made. 

      All infants and/or Pediatric patients over one-month old are usually 

      appropriate to undergo day surgery. A higher age limit is advisable for  

      premature infants (60 weeks post conceptual age) i.e. circumcision for 3

      months and above. 

      Elective surgery should wherever possible be scheduled on designated   

      children's list. Where not possible, designated time be scheduled at the

      start of the lists.

we will manag the cases depend on the protocol of each hospital

and clinical Guidelines

we explain an examples of managment plan for some cases such as:  

Managment Lymph node excision or biopsy

Lymph Node Biopsy: This procedure involves removing a small sample of tissue from a lymph node to examine it under a microscope. It's often used to diagnose infections, inflammation, or cancer within the lymph nodes. There are different types of lymph node biopsies, including fine-needle aspiration biopsy, core needle biopsy, and surgical biopsy.

Lymph Node Excision: This procedure involves the complete removal of one or more lymph nodes. It's typically done when there's suspicion of cancer or when a biopsy suggests a more extensive examination is needed. Excision allows for a more thorough evaluation of the lymph node(s) and surrounding tissues.

managment Excision of breast lump

Procedure: the surgeon removes the lump along with a margin of surrounding healthy tissue to ensure complete removal of the abnormal cells. The extent of tissue removed depends on factors such as the size and location of the lump and the characteristics of the tumor.

managment of Tonsillectomy

Procedure:  the tonsils are removed through the mouth, usually using a scalpel, electrocautery, radiofrequency ablation, or a specialized device such as a coblation wand. The choice of technique depends on factors such as the patient's age, medical history, and surgeon's preference.

managment of Adenoidectomy

Procedure:  the adenoids are removed through the mouth, usually using a curette or suction device. In some cases, specialized instruments or techniques such as powered instrumentation may be used. The procedure is typically performed on an outpatient basis, meaning the patient can go home the same day.
