unreferenced date February 2011 Outpatient surgery , also known as ambulatory surgery , same day surgery or day surgery , is surgery that does not require an overnight hospital stay. The term outpatient arises from the fact that surgery patients may go home and do not need an overnight hospital bed. The purpose of outpatient surgery is to keep hospital costs down. Citation needed date December 2009 Outpatient surgery has grown in popularity due to the rise in outpatient surgery centers and improved technology. Outpatient surgery centers often allow patients to get medical surgery and cosmetic surgery done in much more luxurious settings than a state hospital and are often preferred by patients for minor surgical procedures. Improved technology has also increased the frequency of outpatient surgery procedures. With shorter medical procedure duration and fewer complications it makes sense to let patients go home sooner. About 65 of all surgical procedures are done on an outpatient basis. Citation needed date December 2009 Patients should check with their doctor for all information covering preparation for outpatient procedures. Complications related to surgery occur less than 1 of the time in outpatient settings.
