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.
