The Oak Brook Surgical Center was established in 1984. It was developed with the knowledge and expertise to perform from the simplest to the most sophisticated of outpatient surgical procedures.
They address every surgical specialty and utilize the latest technology in surgical
instrumentation and equipment. All surgical procedures are performed by fully-credentialed
physicians. Anesthesia services are provided under the directorship of a board-certified
anesthesiologist, and anesthesia department staff are trained in all aspects
of anesthesia, including pain management. The highly trained nursing staff will
be with you in both surgery and recovery, providing you with the highest level
of care.
FOR FRIENDS OR RELATIVES ACCOMPANYING PATIENTS
Two private waiting rooms with TV sets, vending machines, and the atrium are
available in addition to the main reception area for those accompanying patients.
MAIN RECEPTION AREA
PRE-OPERATION EXAMINATION
Patients are examined prior to surgery in order to ensure their fitness for the
scheduled procedure.
PRE-OPERATION AREA
Patients meet their anesthesiologist before the surgery in this room and discuss
any questions they may have. A mild sedative is often administered to alleviate
any possible nervousness regarding surgery.
STERILIZED COMMON AREAS
Patients are guided to one of the four surgical rooms which is specially prepared
for the specific surgery that is scheduled. The entire medical area is maintained
at high standards of sterilization.
SURGICAL ROOMS
Four spacious surgical rooms have enough space for large medical teams and are
equipped with the latest Equipment. Specific equipment are arranged to be in
each room based on type of surgery and medical team which is scheduled to perform
it.
RECOVERY AND MONITORING AREA
Following the surgery, patients are brought to the recovery area. Patient's vital
signs are monitored during recovery from anesthesia using monitoring devices
placed next to each bed. The nursing staff observe the progress of patients
at all times.
GOING HOME
Some say the best part of outpatient surgery is that patients get to go home
the same day. Once anesthesiologists and nursing staff determine that the patient
has recovered from effects of anesthesia, he or she is assisted in going home.
Either a friend or relative drives the patient home, or the surgical center's
limo is used.
A responsible adult must accompany you home.
