Outpatient surgery, also called same-day surgery, is a medical procedure that doesn’t require an overnight hospital stay. Patients come in for their operation, recover for a few hours, and go home the same day. This approach is often used for minor procedures such as endoscopies, cataract removal, or joint repairs. Outpatient surgery helps reduce healthcare costs and allows patients to recover more comfortably at home.
