It is important to note that many surgeries for patients who are fit and healthy can actually be done as day-only cases, meaning that the entire process from check-in to discharge occurs within the same calendar day (as opposed to 2 days, 1 night).
With the advancement of medicine, the majority of elective surgeries in countries such as the UK and Australia are now done as day surgery, and here in Hong Kong, we are experiencing a shifting trend in health insurance coverage towards day surgeries. This benefits patients with lower medical costs and lower risks of hospital-acquired infections.
