The Precision of the Operating Room, Now in Your Office
Office-based procedures can be more convenient for both patients and surgeons.
Patients benefit from shorter waiting times before the procedures as well as shorter recovery times. Most patients can leave the office after being observed for 10-20 minutes after completion of the procedure. Shorter recovery times can be attributed to the reduced likelihood of postoperative nausea and vomiting because of the avoidance of sedatives and general anesthetics. For surgeons, incorporating procedures into their office schedule allows them to save the time associated with operating room turnover and anesthesia time.1
