Same Day Surgery at UPMC McKeesport

The Same Day Surgery Unit provides surgical and diagnostic procedures on an outpatient or ambulatory basis. Same Day Services/Short Procedure Unit patients are admitted as outpatients to UPMC McKeesport, have surgery or other special procedures, and are discharged on the same day.

Pre-admission Testing

You may be requested to complete laboratory studies or other tests in preparation for your procedure. Your doctor will let you know when you should get any tests done and any special instructions that you will need to follow.
