Living in Orange County often means life moves at a fast pace. Whether you are managing a career, raising a family, or simply enjoying your retirement, the last thing you want is a long hospital stay pressing pause on your daily routine.
At Anaheim Community Hospital (ACH), we understand that your time and comfort are just as important as your health. That is why our Outpatient (Same-Day) Surgery Services are designed to deliver expert surgical care that gets you back to the comfort of your own home—often in time for dinner.
The Same-Day Advantage: Expert Care, Minimum Disruption
Gone are the days when every surgery required a multi-night hospital stay. With our same-day surgery model, you receive high-level medical attention without the inconvenience of a long admission.
- Recover in Comfort: There is no bed like your own. Recovering at home allows you to rest better, sleep soundly, and enjoy your own food and surroundings.
- Safety First: Shorter hospital stays can significantly reduce the risk of hospital-acquired infections.
- Cost-Effective: By eliminating overnight room charges, outpatient surgery is often more affordable for patients and insurers alike.
Smaller Incisions, Faster Recovery
The secret to getting you home faster lies in our specialization in Minimally Invasive Surgery (MIS). Unlike traditional open surgery which requires large incisions, our board-certified surgeons utilize advanced techniques and specialized instruments, such as high-definition cameras, to perform complex procedures through tiny incisions.
Why choose Minimally Invasive Surgery?
- Less Pain: Smaller incisions mean less trauma to the body and reduced post-operative discomfort.
- Minimal Scarring: Tiny cuts heal faster and leave significantly smaller scars than open surgery.
- Quick Return to Normalcy: Because the physical impact on your body is reduced, most patients can return to their daily activities much sooner.
Comprehensive Surgical Solutions
Our Outpatient Surgery center is equipped to handle a wide variety of procedures. Whether you need an urgent repair or a planned correction, we are ready to help. Common same-day procedures at ACH include:
- General Surgery: Gallbladder removal (Cholecystectomy), Appendectomy, and Hernia repairs (Umbilical and Inguinal).
- Specialized Care: We also offer targeted procedures such as Eye Surgery (for Ptosis and blepharotomy) and Foot Surgery (for bunion and hammertoe corrections).
