The Surgery Center team and physicians feel that warm and supportive care can be best rendered at home especially with the excellent pre-operative instruction of the nursing staff. The patient’s home is a well-known environment. Extended care facilities may even have staff that doesn’t have specific knowledge of the patient’s procedure. Therefore, every effort is made to tailor the patient’s procedure so that they can go home after their surgery. Patients can request a nurse to stay with them post-operatively. Patients who feel that home care may present special problems (inquisitive children) are encouraged to stay at a relative or friend’s home or hotel.
