Xi'an Net News (Reporter Wang Jia) "From admission, surgery to discharge, it can be done in 24 hours, which is really convenient!" Mr. Yang was full of praise for the "day surgery" of the dental hospital. On April 18, 55-year-old Mr. Yang came to the Stomatological Hospital of the Air Force Military Medical University for treatment due to the removal of the titanium plate after the fracture of the mandible and the chin. Dr. Zhao Zhihe of the Day Surgery Center said that at present, the hospital is vigorously carrying out day surgery, and the removal of internal fixation devices like this can be completely achieved on the same day and discharged on the same day.
For many patients, "difficult to register" is a profound experience, but what is more painful than "difficult to find No. 1" is "difficult to find a bed". The establishment of the Day Surgery Center of the Hospital of Stomatology aims to shorten the waiting time for surgery, reduce the number of days of hospitalization, reduce the economic burden, and improve the efficiency of medical resource utilization.
Li Yunpeng, head of the Day Surgery Center of the Stomatology Hospital of the Air Force Military Medical University, said that in order to ensure the safety and efficiency of day surgery, the hospital's expert group conducts an in-depth assessment and detailed analysis of the types of diseases to be performed for day surgery. The professional medical team participates in the whole process and ensures that the patient's life and health are protected to the greatest extent through a strict medical quality control process. After the patient is discharged from the hospital, the health care staff will have regular follow-up visits.
What are the advantages of day surgery: high efficiency, reduce the waiting time of patients for elective surgery, improve the turnover rate of hospital beds, low cost, shorten the length of stay, reduce treatment costs, save medical and health resources, low infection rate, reduce the cross-infection rate of surgery carried out according to the day surgery process, and fast postoperative recovery.
What are the expenses that can be reimbursed by the medical insurance fund? Patients who intend to undergo day surgery can bring their hospitalization certificate to the medical insurance office for review. Those who pass the review and meet the requirements of medical insurance can go through medical insurance procedures. Patients with medical insurance can be included in this medical insurance coverage if they undergo pre-hospital examinations related to this disease in the hospital.
What are the types of day surgery that are currently carried out?The types of day surgery tentatively planned by the dental hospital include: impacted tooth extraction or extra tooth extraction requiring general anesthesia, alveolar surgery, fenestration or curettage of maxillary cysts, resection of soft tissue masses of the head and neck, salivary gland resection, simple maxillofacial deformity reconstruction, jaw fixation removal, vascular malformations with low risk, etc.
What is the process of day surgery?
Pre-hospital evaluation. The patient should report to the day surgery center with the hospitalization certificate and negotiate the time of the proposed operation, and according to the arrangement, the patient will contact the day surgery center after completing the relevant examination within the specified time to determine the preoperative assessment and talking time.
Treatment phase. After completing the relevant assessment and interview, the patient will be admitted to the hospital at the agreed time on the day of surgery, and the hospital will be discharged the next day after the surgical treatment is completed and there are no special circumstances after the operation.
Post-hospital follow-up. The day surgery center will follow up the patient according to the patient's condition, generally on the 1st, 3rd, 5th, 2nd, and 4th weeks after surgery.
