Outpatient surgery Tunisia, the Center Clinic

In this ambulatory activity we take care of proctology (anal fissure, anal fistula, hemorrhoids, circumcision, mounted JJ probe, breast adenofibroma, small gynecological procedures, lipomas, cataracts, ophthalmologic and ENT procedures, biopsies under general anesthesia, …).
However, outpatient surgery implies strict operating rules such as the obligation for the patient to be accompanied when returning home.
