Learn from Past
Surgeries

Maybe you've had surgery before.
Odds are, you learned something
then that might make the next
time easier.
For example, if previous experience has shown you that anesthesia makes you sick, let your
doctors know ahead of time. Just
because you vomited after your
last surgery doesn't mean you
have to endure it this time.
"Now, there are medications
that the anesthesiologist gives
prior to putting the patient
asleep that can decrease nausea
and vomiting," Daly says. "It's
critical to talk about any prior
surgeries that have been conducted to see how the patient
did through the operation and
whether there were any complications or issues that arose."

WHEN LESS IS MORE
It is almost a sure bet that if you have a choice between having a major operation or a minimally invasive procedure, you will opt for the less invasive surgery. Minimally invasive procedures come with a shorter healing time and,
thanks to advancements in medical technology, patients requiring minor surgical procedures no longer need overnight care in a hospital.
Community Healthcare System offers outpatient surgical procedures at the
three hospitals and affiliated locations. All facilities are accredited by The Joint
Commission, confirming they meet the highest quality standards of patient care.
Community Hospital, Munster, St. Catherine Hospital, East Chicago, and
St. Mary Medical Center, Hobart, offer the latest advances in robotic surgeries, ranging from single incision gallbladder removal to carpal tunnel hand and
wrist repair and minimally invasive knee replacement.
