Day Procedures
Alpine Health as a Multi-Purpose Service Provider is able to provide a range of surgical services at our Bright and Mt Beauty sites. This is achieved with the support of Visiting Medical Officers that have been credentialed by the Credentialing & Privileging committee overseen by the Board of Directors.
We are able to accept patients as private or public and there is no out of pocket expenses relating to either choice.
Our Perioperative team provides pre and post-operative care for patients that do not need to stay overnight in the hospital. A range of day procedures are provided including:
- Endoscopies (eg. colonoscopy, gastroscopy)
- Local anaesthetic procedures (eg removal of skin lesions, varicose veins)
- Minor general procedures (eg. hernia repair, carpal tunnel release, haemorrhoids, vasectomy, skin grafts)
The Perioperative team also provide support after patients go home. Patients are telephoned to ensure that their post-operative recovery is as expected, and so any questions can be answered.
Occasionally patients need to have an unplanned stay overnight after their procedure and if this occurs you will be transferred to the Acute Ward.
NOTE: Patients who have a Body Mass Index (BMI) greater than 40 will not be able to have any form of sedation anaesthetic. Any person who has concurrent medical problems may not be appropriate to have surgery at Alpine Health.
