About elective surgery
Elective surgery is the one that does not need urgent medical intervention. These surgeries are performed for certain conditions that are not necessarily life-threatening. Elective general surgeries are planned and scheduled in advance. Elective surgeries, however, are not considered optional.
- Hernia surgery
- Kidney stone removal
- Appendectomy
- Warts and moles removal
- Bariatric surgery
- Gallstone surgery
- Laparoscopic Colon Resection
Elective surgery involves procedures that can be scheduled later and do not pose an immediate threat to the patient’s life. If the procedure can be delayed for at least 24 hours, it is considered elective surgery.
Elective surgeries are divided into three clinical categories based on the urgency:
Admission required within 30 days – These patients have a condition that may deteriorate quickly if not treated within this time period.
Admission required within 90 days – These cases are considered semi-urgent and it is unlikely for their condition to deteriorate very rapidly.
Admission required in a year – Patients in this category are entirely non-urgent and have close to no risk of the condition deteriorating.
