AMBULATORY SURGERY, FOR WHOM ? FOR WHAT PURPOSE ?
The ambulatory surgery unit is located at level 0 of Jean-Bernard, corridor B.
The unit first opened in November 2007, with a reception capacity of 15 slots, which was doubled in 2010; there are now 30 slots, 5 of which are dedicated to pediatrics.
The unit receives more than 4000 patients a year.
The opening of the ambulatory surgery unit represented, above all, a response to the expectations of patients, who wished to spend as little time as possible at hospital, while benefiting from optimal treatment conditions.
Eleven specialties are involved:
- gynecology;
- neurosurgery;
- ophthalmology;
- ENT;
- orthopedics ;
- pediatric surgery;
- plastic surgery;
- interventional radiology;
- urologie ;
- vascular surgery;
- visceral surgery;
- medically assisted reproduction.
Ambulatory surgery has materialized in the form of a space closer to a hotel than to a hospital concept, emphasizing the quality of patient reception.
The unit employs eight nurses, six assistant nurses, four secretaries, one logistical referent and one health care manager.
