Outpatient surgery

When a surgery is due, a trip to the hospital is often unnecessary. Today, surgeons in private practice perform many surgeries on an outpatient basis. Up to 70% of all surgeries can be performed on an outpatient basis without any disadvantages for patients. On the contrary, there are even many advantages for them: the medical quality does not differ from a clinic, because outpatient surgeries are subject to the same strict safety and hygiene requirements. In addition, you will receive very personal care from your surgeon and his team. In a preliminary consultation, he will inform you in detail about the procedure. This means that you will already be familiar with the surgeon on the day of the surgery – a bit of reassurance in an unfamiliar situation.

With an office-based surgeon, you can be sure that you will always be operated on by a specialist.

With an office-based surgeon, you can be sure that you will always be operated on by a specialist. A few hours after the operation (often sooner) and a follow-up check-up in the practice clinic, you can be discharged. You can recover from the procedure in your familiar surroundings and with your usual rhythm of life. This is particularly advantageous for children: For them, a hospital stay is often associated with separation from their parents – an additional burden to being sick or injured.

After an outpatient surgery, we closely monitor whether everything is okay. If you had a general anesthesia, we keep you in the practice clinic until you are fit again and can be discharged without danger. Only then will you go back home. After that, we provide uninterrupted medical care. You will be given the landline and cell phone number of your surgeon. He or she will be available to you at all times – even at night and on weekends – and will also make a house call if necessary.

Health care funds are tight. Surgeons in private practice help to save high hospital costs. An outpatient surgery costs significantly less with at least the same, often higher quality. In addition, the co-payment per inpatient day in the hospital is waived for patients with health insurance coverage.
