Outpatient Surgery

A number of procedures that previously were available only on an in-patient basis can be performed on an out-patient basis without an overnight stay. These minor surgery services are available from Southwind Surgical and include:

• Minor skin surgery
• Biopsies
• Laparoscopic surgery
• Endoscopies (EGDs, Colonoscopies, Gastrostomy Tube)
• Hernia Repairs

Although not expected, should any complications arise, the life-saving equipment and back-up services of Hays Medical Center are available within seconds.

Family and friends are welcome to be with the patient before and shortly after surgery. Then, recover in the comfort and privacy of home.
