Benefits ofSame-Day Shoulder Procedures

Many patients put off necessary shoulder repair procedures due to fears about long hospital stays and recovery times. That is why Dr. Chris Mellano has undergone comprehensive training in surgical techniques that allow him to perform same-day surgeries. Patients can recover from the comfort of home, often returning home from the ambulatory surgery center the very same day as the procedure. Outpatient surgery has many benefits, including the following:

Minimally invasive
Return home from surgery the same day
Reduced tissue trauma
Small incisions
Less scarring than open surgery
Safe and effective
Fast healing times
Reduced pain and swelling during shoulder surgery recovery

What is an Ambulatory Surgical Center?

Shoulder repair surgery is performed in a modern ambulatory surgery center (ASC), which is a healthcare facility that is not located in a hospital. That means patients undergoing shoulder repair and replacement procedures do not cross paths with nearly as many hospital visitors or patients that may have infectious diseases. A critical part of shoulder surgery recovery depends on lowering the risk of post-op infections. The ambulatory surgery center is state-licensed and accredited to ensure the highest quality of care and cleanliness in Torrance.

Recover from a Shoulder Repair Surgery

Understandably, most patients want to avoid a hospital stay. Fortunately, shoulder surgery can be performed on an outpatient basis from an ambulatory (non-hospital) surgery center in many cases. Avoiding a hospital stay has numerous benefits.

Outpatient procedures are an ideal solution for otherwise healthy patients that are suffering from bone and joint problems. The risk of cross-infection from sick patients in hospitals is greatly reduced by allowing the patient to go home the same day as the surgery is performed, sparing an overnight hospital stay in many situations.

Minimally InvasiveArthroscopic Shoulder Surgery

There is no need for a prolonged hospital stay for most types of shoulder reconstruction and replacement procedures performed by Torrance shoulder surgeon Dr. Chris Mellano, MD. As an arthroscopic shoulder surgeon, he conducts modern arthroscopic surgery that uses a specialized camera to help your surgeon navigate the shoulder joint with extreme precision, thereby sparing healthy tissue and resulting in less trauma than conventional open surgery procedures.

Who is a Good Candidatefor Outpatient Shoulder Surgery?

While many patients are great candidates for an outpatient shoulder procedure, not everyone is a suitable fit for outpatient surgery. Some extensive procedures such as the reconstruction of joints in multiple areas of the body after a severe accident, for example, may require you to be in the hospital.

Certain medical conditions may also preclude high-risk patients from undergoing outpatient shoulder surgery. Dr. Mellano evaluates each patient on a case-by-case basis to determine eligibility for outpatient procedures. He always looks out for the patient’s best interest in order to perform the safest and most effective shoulder pain treatments available.

In the event that conventional surgery is needed to achieve a successful clinical outcome, you are in good hands with a highly skilled orthopedic surgeon such as Dr. Chris Mellano. He cordially invites you to experience the world-class, patient-centered care of a qualified and compassionate surgeon that wants to see each patient flourish after shoulder repair surgery.
