For outpatient surgery, you come to the hospital on the day of your procedure and can usually return home later the same day. This requires a careful medical assessment and a treatment plan tailored to you.

• No inpatient stay required
• Quick return to familiar surroundings
• Less physical strain
• Modern, gentle surgical techniques
• Individual support before and after the procedure

Orthopaedics & surgery

• Minor orthopaedic procedures
• Arthroscopic surgery, for example on the knee
• Hand surgery
• Selected tendon and soft-tissue procedures
• Removal of implants
• Minor foot surgery

We will discuss with you in a personal consultation whether your procedure can be performed on an outpatient basis.

Ophthalmology

• Cataract surgery
• Eyelid surgery
• Intravitreal injections (IVOM)
• Minor eye surgery

Complex treatments for conditions such as glaucoma, retinal disease and corneal disease are excluded, as these are generally carried out on an inpatient basis or by specialised services.

Preparation and follow-up care

Before the procedure, you will receive a detailed explanation and all the information you need to prepare. After surgery, we make sure you are ready to return home safely and give you clear guidance for the days that follow.

Safety comes first

Our outpatient procedures meet the highest medical and hygiene standards. Careful preparation, modern anaesthetic techniques and structured follow-up care provide the greatest possible safety.

To help you feel well prepared, we guide you through your treatment day step by step:

Before the procedure

• Pre-anaesthetic consultation to plan your anaesthetic individually
• Information about the procedure and important guidance for the day of surgery

On the day of surgery

• Arrival and admission to the hospital
• Please bring someone with you who can accompany you home after surgery. They should remain on the hospital premises.
• Preparation for the procedure by our team
• Surgery performed by experienced specialists

After surgery

• Care during recovery from the anaesthetic
• Monitoring and preparation for discharge
• Discharge on the same day as soon as you are stable
• You will receive prescriptions and all important information for your follow-up care in advance

Our aim is to provide a safe, well-organised process and help you return to everyday life quickly.

More information

Most procedures at the Klinik Manhagen Eye Clinic are performed on an outpatient basis. Complex treatments for glaucoma, retinal disease and corneal disease are exceptions. As a rule, we plan all other operations as outpatient procedures: gentle, safe and efficient.

What happens on the day of surgery

On the day of your operation, we guide you step by step through a clearly structured process:

• Arrival and admission at the hospital
• Measurements and preliminary examinations
• A comprehensive ophthalmological examination
• A pre-anaesthetic consultation to plan your anaesthetic individually
• Direct transfer to the operating department
• Care during the recovery and discharge phase after the procedure
• A light refreshment of bread and coffee
• Medication and personal guidance for your recovery at home

After the operation, you can leave the hospital with the person accompanying you or by pre-arranged transport, such as a shared taxi.
