Day Surgery

Hygeia Hospital Tirana is the first and only hospital in the country to have implemented a One-Day Surgery Department (ODS).

This department treats medical cases that require surgical intervention but do not require hospitalization, and are therefore handled on a daily basis.

The surgical procedures performed in the ODS are simplified. After the necessary preoperative check-up, carried out one day earlier, the patient undergoes the surgical procedure and then is transferred to the recovery room where they stay for a short time, and can then return home the same day the surgery was performed.

EQUIPMENT

The surgical interventions offered in this department are performed in a well-organized and well-equipped area, designed according to international standards and protocols. The operating rooms are equipped with state-of-the-art devices, and their environments meet hygiene and sterility conditions in accordance with required standards and protocols.

The recovery rooms offer a comfortable and safe stay for patients, and throughout the stay, the patient is under continuous supervision by specialized medical staff.

Family members are not allowed to stay in these areas. A separate space has been reserved for them — the family waiting area.
