Patients have to visit appropriate specialist clinics to evaluate whether they qualify for thoracic day surgery. In this scenario, patients must complete a thoracic specialist clinic evaluation and a COVID-19 epidemic survey. For the first time, patients must bring all their test results and anesthesia consultation to the Day Surgery Appointment Center for the surgeon to review and confirm whether all the tests have been completed prior to surgery.
