Head of day Surgery unit, Dr. Anwar Zahran explains the benefits of same-day
surgery and aftercare benefits offered at Rayhan Medical Complex
June , 2018 – Doha, Qatar - Rayhan Medical Complex, a state-of-the-art
medical centre, located in Al Markhiya in Doha, Qatar, has opened its Day Surgery
(unit)offering ENT,
General Surgery, Plastic Surgery, Obs & Gynae, Urology, Orthopaedic and
Ophthalmology Surgeries.
Dr. Anwar Zahran, head
of the Day Care Surgery unit at Rayhan Medical Complex explains the effects of
day care surgery over patients being admitted to a hospital, including the
impact on recovery period, finances and the overall mental well-being of a
patient. Says Dr. Anwar “One of the most important benefits of Day Care
Surgery is decreasing the infection (risk) for patients”
“With Day Care Surgery, there is no need to admit the patient; they
can be discharged on the same day decreasing the risk of potential infection from
a hospital stay, as there is no further exposure with patients who may be
infected or sick.” adds Dr. Anwar.
The financial impact on the patient is also lessened as patients
spend less time in the recovery ward, being discharged on the same day and therefore
reducing costs. “The fast-track
recovery of the patient enables the patient to return home as well as re-join
work quicker as there is no need to stay in hospital for additional days,
further benefiting the patient financially”, adds Dr. Anwar.
Explaining
further, one of the other advantages of Rayhan Medical Complex’s Day Care
Surgery is the impact on the mental well-being on a patient which allows patients
to heal quickly and recover faster. “The thought of being in hospital for a
surgery can cause emotional and psychological burdens which can have additional
effect on the immune system. Studies have shown that post-operation, being at
home in the family environment increases the immunity and helps the patient to
heal from surgery and trauma faster.” says Dr. Anwar
Although patients
are discharged on the same day, they are also given a thorough at home
follow-up program which also assists in the patient’s quick recovery ensuring
that home recovery is as comfortable as possible.
“After surgery, in the
comfort of their own home, the patient is monitored for vital signs, ensure that
they are fully recovered from anaesthesia and has regained his/her normal
physical and mental activity. We ensure there are no complications, no bleeding
and no burden on the patient. We also further confirm the patient can take food
and water, is not nauseous or vomiting, and gradually can be completely
independent of any further home support.” says Dr. Anwar
Additionally, Rayhan Medical Complex also ensures
that the patient is provided with special treatment at home with medication, and
an escort for the patient during the first 24 hours to take care of the patient
in the early post-operative period.
Adds Dr Anwar: “We provide the patient with the
contact number for doctors, physicians or the facility itself, in case of any
emergency. We arrange for the next visit to follow up on his clinical and
medical condition. The escort will also take care of the patient including driving
them to their home and providing further in-the-home services.”
