Go home the same day, most procedures delivered without an overnight hospital stay, backed by national expertise in day surgery.
Day case surgery means you’re assessed, treated and home the same day, rather than staying overnight in hospital. Most of Mr Kimble’s treatments are delivered this way wherever clinically appropriate, an approach he has particular expertise in as Honorary Treasurer of the British Association of Day Surgery, a national leadership role in shaping day-case surgical standards across the UK.
What day case surgery means for you
- No overnight stay — home the same day in most cases
- Faster recovery in familiar surroundings — many patients recover more comfortably at home
- Reduced hospital-acquired infection risk — a recognised benefit of shorter hospital stays
- Structured aftercare — clear written instructions and a direct point of contact, so you’re supported at home, not left without guidance
Which treatments are day case
Most of the conditions Mr Kimble treats are delivered as day case surgery, including:
- Haemorrhoid treatment (banding, Rafaelo® and most haemorrhoidectomy cases)
- Hernia repair (laparoscopic and most open repairs)
- Pilonidal sinus surgery
- Anal fissure and anal fistula surgery
- Lipoma and skin cyst removal
- Private colonoscopy
Some more complex cases, such as certain bowel cancer surgeries, may require a short inpatient stay, this is always explained clearly and honestly during consultation, not assumed either way.
Your treatment options
Your day-case journey is planned around your specific procedure, not a generic template.
Confirms you’re suitable for day case treatment, covering your health, home support and the procedure itself.
Arrive, undergo your procedure, and recover under observation before being cleared to go home the same day.
Written instructions specific to your procedure, plus a direct point of contact if anything concerns you at home.
For the small number of cases where day case isn’t appropriate, this is explained honestly at consultation, not assumed either way.
Why day case expertise matters
Not every surgeon has the same level of day-case experience. As Honorary Treasurer of the British Association of Day Surgery, Mr Kimble contributes directly to national best practice in this area — meaning the day-case pathway you experience reflects genuinely current, well-evidenced standards, not an outdated approach.
Recovery & aftercare
Going home the same day doesn’t mean being left to manage alone. Every patient leaves with clear, written aftercare advice and a direct point of contact, plus structured follow-up to make sure recovery at home is going as expected.
You’ll have a direct line to the practice team, and clear guidance on when to seek urgent attention, don’t wait for your next scheduled appointment if something concerns you.
