With local or outpatient surgery the patient often goes home. I would double check with the dr to be on the safe side because some procedures may require an overnight stay.

patients that are usually having a local surgery or procedure done usually go home the same day.

Usually these kinds of surgeries are done in the "One day Stay" unit. I've seen people get a Hysterectomy and be home in time for supper.
Talk to her Doctor about it.

If she is getting a local anesthetic.. she will be home the same day. Usually you go in fairly early like 6 or7am and your home be 4 or 5 pm.

Hmmm. You probably need to add some more info on that one. I have had four locals and have stayed anywhere from 4hrs to an overnighter considering there were no complications. Then possibly a few days, but it is rare.
