If you�re exploring your options for an upcoming outpatient surgery, be sure to consider the advantages of choosing a surgeon who operates in a surgical center rather than a hospital. Surgical centers are increasingly popular with patients who are looking for a change of pace from the traditional hospital setting, whether they�re looking for more personalized care or they�re simple watching their budgets. Although these centers utilize much of the same technology as competing hospitals, they also offer some benefits that many hospitals can�t match.
One of the reasons the surgical centers are a favorite choice for patients is the cost. For most surgical procedures performed in a hospital setting, the largest portion of the bill is attributable to various fees charged for the facility, which include everything from the room usage charge to the cost of the disposable gloves, gowns, and instruments. This largest portion of the expenses can be reduced by simply turning to a smaller and more cost-effective surgical center.
Of course, when it comes to your health, the cost of an operation is likely a major concern, but it may not be the sole deciding factor in selecting the location of your surgery. There are several other important areas to think about, including the time it takes to complete the surgery. Surgical centers have a track record of being punctual with preparation and starting surgeries on time. Also, their recovery room times are often shorter than hospital stays, so you can spend less time in the center and more time recuperating in the comfort of your home.
Another advantage of choosing a surgical center rather than a hospital is the personal level of care that many patients enjoy. In fact, this benefit and the other perks a surgical center provides have led to a much higher level of patient satisfaction with their surgeries. Most of these advantages boil down to the fact that surgical centers are so specialized, with a focus on only surgery and recovery. There�s no emergency room to attend to, and no cafeteria to stock. Plus, surgical centers generally don�t treat infectious diseases � a policy that can help cut down on infections.
Of course, there are some drawbacks as well. For example, surgical centers are often limited in which surgeries they can perform, with some centers avoiding complicated surgeries in the chest cavity or operations concerning the heart and brain. Others will even refrain from performing any operation in the body cavity unless it can be performed via minimally invasive techniques, including laparoscopy. If you require one of these more complex and risky surgeries, such as a heart bypass, a hospital might be your only option.
Even with all of the benefits surgical centers have to offer, it�s best to receive information particular to your situation before making such an important decision. Be sure to have a discussion with your surgeon about where he or she can perform the operation or do your own research on what equipment is available at your local centers.
