Why Choose Day Surgery
At Omuramba Day Theatre, we believe that high-quality surgical care should be as convenient as possible. Our day surgery model offers distinct advantages over traditional inpatient settings, for you and your family.
Most patients are admitted in the morning and return home by mid-afternoon. You recover in the comfort of your own home, surrounded by familiar faces, reducing stress and aiding healing.
Avoiding an overnight stay reduces costs significantly. Day surgery facilities also tend to have lower overheads than major hospitals, which translates directly into more affordable care for patients.
Shorter stays mean significantly less exposure to hospital-acquired infections. Our facility is dedicated exclusively to planned procedures, which maintains higher hygiene standards than a general ward.
What We Offer
Our theatre is equipped for a broad range of elective day procedures, performed by accredited specialists. All procedures are planned. We do not accept emergency cases.
A thin, flexible scope is passed through the mouth and into the oesophagus, stomach, and upper small intestine. Used to investigate symptoms like heartburn, nausea, and upper abdominal pain.
A flexible camera is guided through the entire large intestine to detect abnormalities including polyps, inflammation, and early colorectal cancer.
Surgical removal of the tonsils, typically recommended for recurrent tonsillitis or obstructive sleep apnoea. Performed under general anaesthesia in our dedicated paediatric and adult lists.
Performed for medical, cultural, and preventive health reasons. Conducted under local or general anaesthesia depending on patient age and preference, in a safe, clinical environment.
A simple, highly effective method of permanent contraception for men. The procedure involves cutting or blocking the vas deferens under local anaesthesia. Takes approximately 20–30 minutes.
A common gynaecological procedure to sample or remove the uterine lining. Performed under general anaesthesia and typically completed within 15–20 minutes.
Dental extractions, oral and maxillofacial surgery, and procedures requiring sedation or general anaesthesia for complex cases not suitable for a standard dental chair.
Our theatre accommodates a wide range of additional minor surgical procedures referred by Namibian specialists, including:
General anaesthesia uses medicines to create a state of controlled unconsciousness, so you are unaware of your procedure and feel nothing while it takes place. Your specialist anaesthetist assesses you beforehand, stays with you throughout and oversees your recovery.
