Daycase surgery centre

Daycase surgery at Musgrove Park Hospital

We specialise in caring for patients (both adults and children), who require day case procedures under both local and general anaesthetics. The types of surgery that are performed in our unit include breast surgery, urology, colorectal (haemorrhoidectomy and laparoscopic cholecystectomy), vascular (varicose veins and hernias), gynaecology (hysteroscopy), Maxillo-facial (surgical removal of teeth) and Ears, Nose, Throat (ENT) (micro-laryngoscopy).

Our daycase surgery centre is open 7.30am to 8pm, Monday to Friday.

Please be aware that your admission time will not be your operating time.

We run two theatre operating sessions per day.

For the morning session, you will be admitted from 7.30am and the operating times will be between 9am to 1pm.

For the afternoon session, you will be admitted from 12.30pm and the operating times will be between 2pm to 6pm.

We are unable to accommodate any visitors on the ward, except for patients with additional needs or carer responsibilities and those accompanying children. Please contact the nurse-in-charge prior to admission to discuss if you have any queries.
