All depend on the patient. Some patients recover faster than other. But this is a simple procedure. Most likely you are not going to hav e problems and your recovery would be fast. Most of the time you should be allowed to leave the next day. Thank you.
It could be done on an ambulator basis without requiring any hospital stay.
It depends, either ambulatory or up to 2 days.
It depends. I have seen outpatient surgery, overnight, or for a couple of days. Depends on the patient and the doctor's feelings about stuff like that.
