Most patients are monitored for a few hours after the procedure and are usually discharged on the same day. In rare cases, an overnight stay may be required.

Type of Anesthesia

The procedure is usually performed under local anesthesia, with the option of sedation if needed to keep the patient comfortable during the procedure.

Travel After Procedure

Patients are generally advised that they can travel the same day or the day after the procedure, depending on their recovery and the advice of their healthcare provider.

Pre-procedure Preparation

Patients are typically asked to fast for 4-6 hours before the procedure. They may also need to adjust their medications according to their doctor's instructions.

Procedure Duration

The procedure usually takes between 30 minutes to 1 hour to complete.

Recovery Time

Most patients can return to normal activities within a few hours after the procedure, though rest is recommended for the remainder of the day.
