Surgery In-Office and Out Patient

If your foot problem is severe enough to require surgery, the procedure will be performed out-patient or in-office. Outpatient surgery, also known as same-day surgery, empowers the patient to go back home on the same day as the procedure. Outpatient surgery is ideal for healthy individuals who are undergoing intermediate to minor procedures. Outpatient surgery clearly has its benefits in that it is comparably fast, allows the patient to recover at home, reduces the chance of infection following surgery and doesn’t disrupt the 9 to 5 work schedule.

Alternatively, if the surgery is preformed in-office, you will be in and out in the same day. The doctor will provide you with instructions about what to eat prior to surgery as well as potential modifications to prescription modifications so pay close attention and follow those rules down to the letter.

In the end, the decision between in-office and outpatient surgery to repair your foot issue ultimately hinges on the nuances of that medical problem as well as your preferences.
