An Ambulatory Surgery Center (ASC) is a healthcare facility designed for patients to receive surgical care without being admitted to a hospital. These centers focus on same-day procedures, allowing patients to go home shortly after their surgery. ASCs are equipped to handle various minor surgical procedures, often in a more convenient and cost-effective manner than traditional hospitals. ASCs typically provide services in areas such as orthopedics, gastroenterology, and ophthalmology. They are staffed by a team of healthcare professionals, including surgeons, nurses, and anesthesiologists, who work together to ensure patient safety and comfort during the surgical process.
