Outpatient Surgery at Mississippi Sports Medicine & Orthopaedic Center

Outpatient surgery means the procedure and recovery are structured so most patients go home the same day, rather than staying overnight in a hospital. Mississippi Sports Medicine & Orthopaedic Center offers this as part of our orthopaedic and sports medicine services for active adults and athletes dealing with a range of joint, muscle, and connective tissue concerns.

A typical path starts with an evaluation visit, where a provider reviews your history, discusses what you have been experiencing, and talks through whether outpatient surgery is an option worth considering for your situation. From there, our team walks you through:

• What a pre-surgical visit involves and how to prepare
• What the day of the procedure generally looks like
• What early recovery and follow up visits typically include

Every patient’s situation is different, so we do not make treatment decisions on a landing page or over the phone. Those conversations happen in the exam room, with time to ask questions and understand your options before any decision is made.
