Outpatient surgery is the surgical procedure that does not require an overnight hospital stay or admission. The term outpatient raises from the fact that surgery patients may be entering and leaving the facility on the same day. The major advantages of outpatient surgery over the inpatient surgery comprise greater convenience and reduced costs. Furthermore, outpatient surgery may occur in an inpatient facility, in a self-contained unit within a hospital, which is also known as a hospital outpatient department, in a freestanding, self-contained unit, that is also known as the ambulatory surgery center, or even in a physician's office-based unit. Common procedures that are now routinely performed on an outpatient basis include tonsillectomies, hernia repairs, gallbladder removals, some cosmetic surgeries, and cataract surgeries.
COVID-19 scenario analysis:
The outbreak of the cornovirus-2 has led to the global economic recession, affecting the pharmaceutical and biotechnological industries. This will also impede the growth of the medical supplies, which are used for surgical procedures, except those that can be used for management of the disease. The COVID-19 pandemic has an antagonistic impact on the healthcare system, resulting in 50% to 70% drop in revenue since March. There are many small clinics, hospitals, and nursing homes, which have been forced to shut their operations due to the pandemic situation. The resultant solution was to undergo complete lockout causing loss of the majority of the income for the smaller hospitals and reduction in the surgical procedures during the forecast period. In addition, visa cancellations have led to an interruption in medical tourism and can hamper the healthcare services market growth.
