Concerning surgery performed at the clinic
Two types of hospitalizations can be scheduled:
- Outpatient surgery (also known as same-day surgery or ambulatory surgery) does not require an overnight hospital stay. Patients may enter and leave the facility on the same day.
- Inpatient surgery (the patient spends at least one night post surgery at the clinic). The length of hospitalization is determined by Dr. Benoît PHILIPPE and the anesthetist-physician during the pre-operative consultations.
Whatever surgical intervention proposed and taking into account the patient’s safety and comfort, outpatient surgery or short duration hospitalizations are advised.
When clinic admission is on the same day as the surgery, fasting prior surgery time is mandatory (6 hours prior surgery for solids, 2 hours prior for liquids, smoking must be stopped entirely).
In case of an outpatient surgery, the patient’s discharge is authorized only following the surgeon and anesthetist-physician’s consent. When going back home, the patient must be accompanied and can’t drive his vehicle under any circumstances.
Hospitalization for underaged patients. Compulsory administrative procedure
Upon admission of an underaged child scheduled for surgery, a consent form duly signed by both parents as well as the photocopies of the ID cards or passports of the child and both parents must be handed to the admission office secretary.

Pre-operative anesthesia assessment
- Every surgical intervention requires a mandatory pre-operative assessment. Outside the scope of emergency, the pre-operative assessment is to take place at least 48 hours prior surgery.
This assessment, led by the anesthetist-physician, is composed of a medical history interview (including the patient’s medical history and current state), a clinical assessment and various further medical examinations prescribed according to warning signs : Electrocardiogram (ECG), bronchoradiography, biological check-up : blood count, blood coagulation assessment, Hbc serology, HIV, multi-resistant bacteria research…
Within medical history, allergy history and current medication treatments are to be reported to the surgeon Dr. Benoît PHILIPPE and to the anesthetist-physician. During initial consultations it is strongly advised to bring current prescriptions as well as the various practitioners’ information: GP, medical specialists, current dentist practitioner or other specialists (Implantologist, Orthodontist)
Whatever date is scheduled for surgery, Dr. Benoît PHILIPPE’s secretary will get the future patient in touch with the anesthetist-physician in charge of the pre-operative anesthesia assessment which takes place at Hartmann Clinic. To find out how to get to Hartmann Clinic click here.
- Concerning surgery with (strict) local anesthesia performed at Dr. Benoît PHILIPPE’s medical practice operating room, the same assessment and medical history of each patient will be prescribed by Dr. Benoît PHILIPPE.
