Methodist Hospital has been a leader in promoting “same-day-discharge” total joint surgery.
Day-surgery total joint replacement surgery has become a reality largely due to advancements in side-effect-free general anesthesia, minimal blood loss, and the high success of injecting the tissues about the surgical area with powerful, long-lasting pain medications.
If you elect for total joint replacement day surgery, our CareSense team will carefully evaluate tour personal health record and help you and your family determine if you are a candidate for discharge the same day.
Same-day-discharge total joint replacement patients are required to attend Joint Camp prior to surgery so that seamless postoperative care will be in place.
