HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
Post operative procedures can vary from one institution to the next.
In most places, overnight stay is not needed but you may want to speak to the surgeon requesting overnight stay to determine the reason for this.
Monitoring overnight for complications may reduce any issues in the long term, this would be the reason for the price difference.
I hope this helps
