Many of today’s surgical treatments can be performed laparoscopically. Laparoscopic procedures are minimally invasive and usually performed in an outpatient setting, like Springfield Clinic's Ambulatory Surgery & Endoscopy Center. This facility, located at Springfield Clinic's Main Campus East Building in Springfield, offers a convenient and affordable option for outpatient procedures.
Outpatient surgery allows patients to return home the same day and recover in the comfort of their own surroundings. This enables patients to recover more quickly and return to normal activities sooner. More complex surgical treatments are normally performed in a hospital setting, where patients can be admitted and monitored by medical staff during their recovery.
Our physicians maintain privileges in many Central Illinois hospitals and provide surgical services close to our patients' homes. Through Springfield Clnic's robust Specialty Outreach Program, they also offer evaluation and followup in a medical office setting in these outlying communities. Our patients, especially the sick and elderly, appreciate the convenience and comfort of being seen in their local environment.
