Outpatient Surgery Centers on Highway 9 Marlboro
How to Prepare for your Outpatient Surgery or Procedure
The Division of Colon and Rectal Surgery could strive to ensure your experience is as comfortable for you as possible when you are here. Depending upon your particular surgery, your procedure will be performed in the operating or procedure room. Having an outpatient procedure means that you will be able to leave the center the same day as your exam. You will have received instructions to follow with regards to diet restrictions and medication as it relates to your procedure. These are available from your doctor's office, and when in doubt, should be discussed with a nurse or other representative in the Division of Colorectal Surgery.
This outpatient surgery centers operate in conjunction with a local hospital and allow you to have surgery, spend a short amount of time recovering at the center, then return home—where you are most comfortable—to complete your recovery, as well as continuing your care at your local family health center.
