Cure Day Hospitals is acknowledging the important role of General Surgery this July and highlighting the skilled surgeon practicing regularly at Cure Day Hospitals Erasmuskloof.
Many general surgery procedures that previously required several days in hospital, are now safely performed in a day hospital setting and numerous patients can safely go home just hours after their procedure.
A wide array of general surgery procedures is routinely performed in day hospital settings:
- Scopes: Diagnostic procedures like gastroscopies and colonoscopies.
- Colorectal: Hemorrhoidectomies (removal of hemorrhoids) and anal fistula repairs.
- Hernia Repairs: Surgical correction of uncomplicated inguinal and umbilical hernias.
- Biopsies & Excisions: Mole and lipoma (fatty tissue) removals, as well as soft tissue biopsies.
- Abscess Drainage: Incision and drainage of cysts and abscesses.
With proficient specialist and modern facilities, patients can expect quality care in a friendly, safe and comfortable environment.
This month we would like to shine the spotlight on Dr Cornel Steyn.
