Day Care Surgery
Selected minor and laparoscopic procedures planned for same-day discharge, combining safe surgical care with a faster return home.
Understanding Day Care Surgery
Many minor and select laparoscopic procedures no longer require an overnight hospital stay. Day care surgery combines careful patient selection, modern anaesthesia, and minimally invasive technique to allow safe same-day discharge.

Recovery & Rehabilitation
From same-day admission to going home, day care surgery progresses through clear stages.
Assessment
Confirm Suitability
A pre-procedure evaluation confirms the condition and patient are suitable for planned day care surgery.
Treatment
Same-Day Procedure
The procedure is performed under appropriate anaesthesia, typically completed within a few hours.
Recovery
Short Observation
A brief recovery and observation period in hospital confirms it is safe to discharge home the same day.
Follow-up
Home Recovery
Most patients resume light activity within a few days, with a follow-up visit to confirm healing.

Many minor surgical and select laparoscopic procedures qualify, including lump removal, small hernia repair, and diagnostic procedures, depending on individual suitability.
You may be suitable for day care surgery if:
- Your condition is minor or well-localised
- You are otherwise fit and healthy
- You have support at home after discharge
- Your surgeon has confirmed same-day suitability
