The One-Day Surgery Center at the Batal Specialist Clinic

The one-day eye surgery center at the Batal Specialist Complex is the first of its kind in the Middle East, and features a combination of luxury design, technical skill and leading medical equipment.
The one-day surgery center is the place where surgical procedures are performed and admission, procedure and discharge are done on the same date. The range of procedures that can be performed as one-day operations in Jeddah includes surgical procedures, dental surgery, plastic surgery, dentistry and optical treatments.

Surgeries that can be performed at today’s surgery center:

Eye surgeries

One day surgery in Jeddah, which is sometimes called day case surgery, means a surgery or surgical procedure that does not require an overnight stay in the hospital. The patient is admitted on the day of the surgery and usually returns home the same day, a few hours after the operation, once they have recovered sufficiently. Outpatient surgery is also referred to as ambulatory surgery or same-day surgery.

What do I need to know about the one-day surgery center?

The one-day surgery center is a center that provides a service for performing simple surgeries that do not require complete anesthesia or sedation, where the patient can return to his home on the same day without the need to stay in the hospital, and at the same time provide full care to the patient.
The one-day surgery center for eye surgeries is the first center of its kind in the entire Arab world. This idea is adopted by the “Batal Specialist” complex, which is a leading complex in the field of ophthalmology in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia.
Day surgery surgery eliminates inpatient hospitalization, reduces the amount of medication prescribed, uses the doctor’s time more efficiently and more procedures are now performed in the surgeon’s office, so-called office surgery, rather than in the operating room.
One-day surgery is best suited for healthy people undergoing simple or intermediate procedures. Recently, people with more complex medical problems have undergone surgery on an outpatient basis, and the types and complexity of surgical procedures have expanded dramatically.
Thanks to the new technologies and more effective procedures at Al Batal Specialized Centre, some surgeries can now be completed successfully at the Specialized Day Operations Center and the patient can return to the comfort of their home and bed to recover.

One-day surgery center features

There are many advantages that the patient reaps from undergoing one-day surgeries, including:

The low material cost borne by the patient compared to those paid in other hospitals due to the cost of accommodation that they pay .
Discharge from the hospital on the same day, which is a major factor in positively affecting the patient’s psychological state, and this may also speed up their recovery.
The patient’s ability to return to normal life quickly.
Ensure access to the best care because the day surgery center is subject to strict supervision to ensure that it follows the necessary medical standards throughout.
The use of advanced devices and the latest technologies that ensure that the patient will not be exposed to any complications.

Advice for patients on one-day operations

Patients should bring a list of the medications they are taking, make sure the dose and time is, and also include prescriptions, over-the-counter medications, vitamins, herbs, recreational drugs, tobacco, and alcohol. This information will help choose the best medication to avoid any unwanted drug interactions. It is important to tell doctors about any Allergies to foods or medicines.

What types of anesthesia are used during the one-day surgery?

When a person undergoes surgery in a day surgery for an injury, any condition, or any other medical disease, there are four types of anesthesia used in clinic surgery, namely:

general anesthesia
Local anesthesia.
Regional anesthesia.
Sedation controlled (IV) sedation.

When is a one-day surgery center inappropriate?

Despite the many positive aspects of the one-day surgery center, it may not be suitable in some cases

Of course, not all surgeries are performed in a one-day surgery center because there are many surgeries that cannot be performed without complete anesthesia. Others require complete care after surgery and this requires the patient to stay in the hospital.
The One Day Surgery Center does not provide emergency services for injurious.
There are some cases that are not accepted in the center, such as newborn babies and infants, or patients who suffer from chronic diseases, due to the possibility of serious complications after surgery.

Eye surgery center

The one-day eye surgery center is the first of its kind in the Arab world and the idea is adopted by the “Batal Specialist” complex, which is a complex that specializes in providing all medical and surgical eye care for both children and adults alike. The idea of this center is based on providing the highest level of care by devoting the efforts of our medical staff with the use of the most advanced technologies, and then those results are brought together in a post-operative follow-up by providing care at the highest level for each of our patients.

Medical care during the surgical day

Due to many years of experience of our staff, we know how to instill confidence in our patients through effective communication before the surgical procedure. By explaining the patient’s condition and explaining the best treatment methods, we take care of everything at the specified time and check-in. To prepare for surgery, we set about completing the necessary examinations, drops of anesthesia, and review the post-operative instructions to ensure that the required treatments are ready to proceed.

A set of treatments that can be performed in the day surgery center

There are some operations that do not require a stay in the hospital for a long time, including cataract surgery. These types of vision problems result from the accumulation of protein or pigment on the surface of the lens, which can appear from the outside as if the eyes are cloudy.
This is often the result of aging, but it can also be due to trauma, birth defects, diabetes, or smoking. During cataract surgery, the doctor removes the cloudy lens and, in most cases, replaces it with an artificial lens. These lenses are called intraocular lenses or IOLs. The inside of the eye, and the type of lens that is best for the patient is determined by an ophthalmologist before the procedure, and it is a process that can be performed in one-day operations.

Clinical care in the day surgery center before surgery

We are aware of the fears and concerns that patients may have before a surgical procedure, especially the hours immediately preceding the procedure. We pride ourselves on providing adequate support for our patients at every stage. By being able to enjoy a non-stressful surgical experience, we improve recovery times and satisfaction and reduce negative emotions.

Postoperative medical care

Each patient and their companions are hosted at our center by our experienced medical staff in a sterile medical environment that reduces the chances of exposure to pathogens or contamination. They will explain the potential symptoms or side effects related to the surgical procedure and put in place systems toreduce complications or speed up recovery processes, such as not swimming or applying powders during the 7 days following the procedure.
