Your grandfather is scheduled to have an endoscopy. During the procedure, doctors will use a long, flexible tube with a camera t
o examine his throat. The surgery is considered minor so he will be treated as an outpatient. At which healthcare facility might your grandfather's surgery take place?
Your grandfathers surgery would happen at an outpatient surgery center most likely vs a main hospital campus. Outpatient surgery centers are made for smaller procedures like this, with less equipped OR's. Small procedures like this happen at outpatient surgery centers so that there is more room for large trauma in the big hospitals.
