We are one of the first groups to perform laparoscopic day-surgery in Chennai. With experience of over 500 laparoscopic operations for gall stones, inguinal hernia, ventral hernia, umbilical hernia and appendix with an average hospital stay of 6 hours we call this ultra-short stay surgery and not just day surgery. Patients walk into the hospital at 5:30 am get operated at 6:00am and walk back home at 12:00 pm. More than 95% of our patients are absolutely pain free for the next 24 hours.

How is it possible to discharge a patient within 5 hours of surgery ? We have a well standardized protocol of pain control by enteral and parenteral analgesics and a nerve-block injection which completely blocks pain and enables patients to walk back home comfortably. In addition we take care of patient safety during the operation and follow very refined surgical technique so as to avoid any post-operative problems.

Shorter hospital stay surgery enables patients to get back to their own home environment and this helps in quick recovery both physically and emotionally. This method of surgery doesn�t disturb the routine of the patients and their families and also grossly reduces their expenditure on hospital stay.

We believe that this phenomenon should be adopted by as many surgeons as possible and make surgery a lot easier for patients. If we can do this, we believe anyone can.
