> get the operation, it's a same-day

Could you expand on that? Radio-frequency ablation is not something that is done the same day.

King of pandora is saying that the operation can be done as a day surgery under a local, and the patient can go home the same day.

I had an ablation, don’t know enough to know if it was “radio-frequency”. Home that night once they concluded that I wasn’t going to bleed out from the leg vein punctures.

That said, I would not have the same casual attitude of parent. Poking holes in your heart, no matter how small, is not without risk. And it is my understanding that most people stay overnight after an ablation.
