The Good News. In the past, these operations were more invasive. Frequently, patients needed to be hospitalized for many days or even longer. Today, most of these procedures can be done as an outpatient in an Ambulatory Surgery Center. The patient can return to normal level of physical activity within days, or at the most, a very few weeks. Dr. Riemenschneider http://www.riverside-urology.com
