Surgery Admissions Unit The Moncton Hospital's Surgery Admissions Unit is able to accommodate approximately 45 patients per day who require surgery but do not need to be admitted to the hospital. This is a very busy area with more than 5,500 patients per year cared for here. Surgeries performed include orthopedic, gynecology, general surgery, ears, nose and throat, urology, ophthalmology, plastic surgery, dental and angiography. Surgical Day Care is located on the first floor beside the Operating Room. Enter the hospital through the main entrance on MacBeath Avenue and follow the green dots on the floor to the unit. Remember, day surgery patients are not to have anything to eat or drink after midnight of the day before they are admitted. If this rule is not followed, the surgery will be cancelled. Patients are asked to arrive approximately two hours prior to their scheduled surgery time and they may be accompanied by a family member or friend. Patients should bring their own medications with them to the hospital and leave valuables and jewellery at home. Patients who wear glasses should bring a proper case for safe storage. Children must be accompanied by their parent or legal guardian who will sign the consent for surgery. Following surgery, patients will be brought back to the Surgery Admissions Unit. Patients who have received an anesthetic must remain in the unit for one hour before they can be discharged. Patients are required to have an adult family member or friend drive them home and stay with them for 24 hours after surgery. In addition, patients are not permitted to drive a vehicle for 24 hours following surgery.  Back to top |
