Ambulatory Surgery is a medicinal term for a same day surgery; wherein a patient does not have to stay overnight or more in a hospital. This type of medical procedure is also known as outpatient surgery, minimally invasive surgery, day care surgery, and laparoscopic surgery. It had been relatively unknown outside the medical field. But, it is gaining popularity in India. Several minimally invasive surgery centers are offering this type of medical treatments only. Why is that? There are three reasons that are evoking such a mass impact from Indians.

Time:

Several surgeries utilize this technology to compress time required for surgery and recovery. There was a time, when select surgeries required hospitalization for week or two. Today, a patient is back at home the very same day. More surprisingly, patient is recovered in less than a week. This is possible because it is a minimally invasive surgery. An incision of 0.5 to 1.0 cm is all you need to resolve several heath issues.

Cost:

 A patient does not need to stay in ambulatory surgery center (ASC). A surgeon will schedule a surgery. A patient can get in and get out of the minimally invasive surgery center's operation theater in few minutes or few hours, based on a procedure. Then, a patient is "under observation" for few hours, if required. Then, a patient receives a discharge before you know it.   So, lower hospitalization expenses are a great motivator for the most people to consider this surgery. It is especially true because it has also improved safety of the procedures and lowered the pain.

Application:

Several day care surgeries are available in an ambulatory surgery center like Apollo Day Surgery today. Widespread application of the laser technology facilitates different kinds of surgeries. Here are few fields offering minimally invasive surgery to patients.

So, different people with different medical challenges have found a cost effective and time effective solution. It is safer, more affordable and less painful. One day visit to ambulatory surgery center happens to be a great way to gain health back. Due to this technology, same day surgery stands between a full-fledged operation and a non-invasive treatment. But, it happens to be a concrete and a long term solution without much pain. 

So, make most of this technology in today's rapid world.
