Hi! Hammertoe surgery is a same day type of procedure so you will leave the same day you have surgery.
Hammer toe surgery can be done on an outpatient basis under local anesthesia. Depending on other medical conditions or multiple procedures staying in the hospital can be indicated to control those other medical conditions, pain, or address the lack of ability to maintain activities of daily living at home.
This is usually an outpatient procedure with no hospital stay. I recommend you discuss this with your surgeon.
Hammertoe surgery is typically performed in the outpatient surgical center setting, which means you will likely go home the same day of your surgery.
