Hmm? Knee replacement, but, I really don't know...
*Disclaimer: A LOT of procedures that used to require overnight stays, can be done on an outpatient basis now thanks to the laproscope.
Examples:
Hysterectomy
colon resection
gall bladder removal... and more..
Also, with the insurance crunch, nowadays a LOT of surgeries are done on an outpatient basis; even some so called major ones.
