ricovero in regime di day surgery

[angelrocks]

Hi everybody,

I need to traslate the following sentence "Il tempo chirurgico di dissezione ascellare può anche essere eseguito in regime di ricovero di Day Surgery" and I'm stumped on the right preposition to use:

Axillary dissection may also be performed in (under?) Day surgery system. I don't like it at all, but it's the best I could come up with.

Any takers? Help, please!!!

Forse "as a day surgery admission"; vedi qui http://www.proz.com/kudoz/italian_t.../3523306-in_regime_di_ricovero_ordinario.html

thank you, Mary 49. I'll use that

Mary's suggestion works very well. You weren't wrong in your assumption regarding the phraseology. We could also use, "Auxiliary dissection may also be performed under / as a component of / as a part of the day surgery system."

Just a suggestion, I don't know about our BE or CanE friends, but in AE we use "outpatient surgery" as opposed to "day surgery."

Along with Mary's idea, these should give you an idea of the construction.

Ciao, MR! In BE also we talk about outpatient surgery. (Normally you go home the same day as the surgery takes place. I hope so, because I face it next Monday!) However I don't think "axillary" is the same as "auxiliary".

Thank you Phil. I know that in AE you say outpatient surgery instead of day surgery, but in Italy they are two different things:
- OS: surgery performed in a doctor's office under local anesthesia
- DS: surgery performed in an OR under local anesthesia+sedation or under general anesthesia

Ciao Johngiovanni,

your answer arrived while I was hitting reply for MR.

Good luck for your procedure on Monday

 

[johngiovanni]

As to the preposition, both "under" and "in" are used.
Edit: Thanks, Angel.

 

[angelrocks]

thank you. You've all been very helpful

You are so right! I should know better than to type here on my iPad; the autocorrect will make you look even stupider than you are!!!

Good luck with your surgery. Or better we should say, "In bocca al lupo, John!"

Grazie, Phil and Angel. Spero di fare un giro in bicicletta prima che arrivi l'estate. (Excuse the Italian if it's wrong). By the way, I must look up "axillary" - I really have no idea what it means!

Axillary means related to the armpit or specifically the lymph nodes of the armpit.

E sì, Google è tuo amico.
