Our Services
Minor and Elective Surgeries
Minor and elective surgeries are planned procedures performed to treat a diagnosed condition, address a non-emergency health concern, or improve a patient’s comfort and daily function.
At New Padre Garcia Hospital, patients undergo a surgical consultation before any procedure is scheduled. The surgeon reviews the patient’s symptoms, diagnosis, medical history, medicines, allergies, test results, and possible surgical risks.
Because these procedures are planned in advance, patients have time to complete the required tests, understand the recommended treatment, and prepare for recovery.
The final procedure date, anesthesia plan, and same-day discharge eligibility depend on the surgeon’s assessment and the hospital’s available surgical capabilities.
