Waiting times for hip and knee operations have decreased since a new planned-care hospital opened its doors in March.
In an effort to reduce the record backlog caused by the Covid pandemic, Heatherwood Hospital near Ascot has performed more than 1,000 operations in 11 months.
Six operating rooms and 48 inpatient beds are available at the hospital.
There was no "fight for beds" at the hospital, according to orthopedic surgeon Rakesh Kucheria.
According to national statistics from the previous year, 6 point 84 million people in England were on a waiting list for operations or other types of care at the end of July.
The 82,000-person waiting list, including referrals, was reported by Heatherwood's operator, Frimley Health NHS Trust.
Since it first opened, it has conducted 20% more surgeries than it did before Covid.
According to statistics provided to the BBC, before the hospital opened, patients frequently had to wait up to 90 weeks for a simple hip or knee replacement. However, Mr. Kucheria claimed that now "most patients are getting their surgery within 52 weeks.".
The surgeon continued, "We can get a lot of orthopaedic work done through the winter without having to compete for beds or deal with cancellations here.
According to Tim Ho, Medical Director at Frimley Heath NHS Trust, Heatherwood was not impacted by "the vagaries of emergency care" like other hospitals with A&E departments.
We don't have to deal with emergency patients arriving at this facility to prevent our clinicians from doing this elective work, he said, so we can focus on operating six days a week, from morning until night.
The average length of stay for patients getting knee or hip replacements used to be three to four days, but according to Frimley Health, 40% are now released from the hospital within a day.
On the day of his shoulder surgery to repair tendons, Pardeep Gill was scheduled to return home. He said of the procedure: "It's been fantastic, it's been really good.
Every few minutes a nurse or consultant comes to see me, which surprises me and makes me feel incredibly loved. " .
Jo West, the patient, reported "very good results" from her hip replacement procedure.
She said, "I thought it would take longer, but I think Heatherwood is very efficient.
As part of the government's effort to cut waiting times, NHS England is opening more than 80 new operating rooms and investing in 37 new surgical hubs across the nation.
