Day Care Procedures in Mukundapur

Medical procedures or surgeries that do not require an overnight stay in the hospital are termed daycare procedures. As these treatments are less complex, the patient is admitted, treated, and discharged on the same day. The Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology at Manipal Hospitals, Mukundapur, performs various diagnostic and interventional procedures that require less than 24-hour hospitalisation. These include Cone Biopsy, Diagnostic Laparoscopy and Hysteroscopy, Operative Hysteroscopy, and Colposcopy. Our gynaecology and obstetrician specialists have tremendous experience and proficiency in carrying out easy to complex cases with the utmost precision, ensuring patient comfort and overall well-being throughout the entire process. 

Various factors are considered before deciding whether a patient should be admitted for any daycare procedure. These include the patient's medical history, overall health condition, such as obesity and smoking, the presence of comorbidities like high blood pressure and diabetes, potential risks, the availability of post-procedural care at home, and individual preferences. Our specialists in Kolkata, implement an interdisciplinary approach and often associate with other departments to provide patients with seamless and coordinated care tailored to their individual needs. There are also many benefits of undergoing daycare procedures, such as minimal disruption to your normal daily life and the lower cost of treatment. We also ensure comprehensive pre-operative and post-operative care, ensuring a smooth recovery process and a quick return to normal activities.

FAQ's

Less complex diagnostic or therapeutic procedures and minor surgeries can be done as daycare procedures. The most common ones are:

  • Dilation and Curettage (D&C)
  • Laparoscopy
  • Hysteroscopy
  • Fertility treatments
  • Endoscopic examinations

Our specialists will discuss your symptoms, medical history, and general condition. Additionally, they will perform certain diagnostic and imaging scans, which include blood tests, radiology, computer tomography (CT) scans, and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans. These assessments help the doctor decide whether you require in-patient care or daycare to address your condition. In cases where the latter is deemed appropriate, our specialists will discuss the option with you, along with its risks and complications and post-procedural care. Moreover, you'll have the opportunity to decide whether you'd like to proceed with the procedure on the same day. Our dedicated nursing staff will then guide and assist you in preparing for the daycare procedure.

Day-care Surgery offers several advantages and benefits in contrast to in-patient care, which include:

  • Shorter hospital stays
  • Reduced risk of nosocomial (hospital-acquired) infections
  • Faster recovery
  • Convenience and minimal disruptions in performing routine activities
  • Improved patient satisfaction
  • Reduced stress and anxiety
  • Fresh and frozen transfer of the embryo

Specialists consider several parameters to assess candidates for Daycare Surgery. However, certain contraindications, such as hypertension, a history of severe respiratory diseases, obesity, and whether the patient smokes or chews tobacco, may influence the decision to proceed with Daycare Surgery. Depending on the circumstances, patients may be recommended to undergo Elective Surgeries to minimise complications. Our specialists will assess you thoroughly and inform you whether you are a suitable candidate for Daycare Surgery.

The usual cycle involved in Daycare Surgery includes four stages, which are:

  • Pre-operative assessment: Patients are evaluated thoroughly to confirm whether they are a good fit for Daycare Surgery. The patients are then guided to prepare themselves for the procedure.

  • Surgery: Anaesthesia is administered depending on the nature of the procedure and the patient's condition, and the appropriate gynaecological procedure is performed.

  • Recovery: After the procedure, you will be shifted to the recovery room, where you will be further observed and monitored for complications.

  • Discharge: Our specialist will approach you and check your vital signs. You will be later discharged on the same day with post-operative guidance and recovery instructions. You will also be prescribed medications to alleviate your pain and facilitate the healing process.

You will be administered anaesthesia or sedatives to numb your pain and put you to sleep during the procedure. It is common to feel mild pain or discomfort after the procedure. Our specialists will prescribe necessary pain management medications based on your level of pain and condition and offer instructions, such as exercise plans or breathing techniques, to alleviate your pain and discomfort.

You will be given personalised post-recovery instructions and guidelines to enhance your healing process. However, general instructions include:

  • Taking appropriate care of your wound. Specialists will use different stitches or dressings to cover your wound. If stitches are applied that require specialised removal, it is strongly advised not to attempt their removal on your own.

  • Adhering to appropriate medications for post-operative pain

  • Side effects such as vaginal bleeding and slowed bowel movements are common and will usually resolve within a few days. In the case of a slowed bowel movement, walking should help facilitate your bowel movement. Moreover, if vaginal bleeding persists for a longer period of time, it is necessary to seek medical attention.

  • You are advised not to drive for 24 hours, use tampons, perform sexual intercourse, or shower for 10 days to enhance healing.

It's advisable not to drive or go home alone after the daycare procedure, as you must have received anaesthesia or sedation, which will take time to wear off. Additionally, there could be some post-operative effects, so for your safety, it's essential to have someone accompany you home.
