Ambulatory surgery centers (ASCs) are healthcare facilities that provide same-day surgical care, allowing patients to undergo procedures and return home on the same day. They are designed for less complex surgeries that do not require an overnight hospital stay, making them a convenient option for many patients. ASCs typically offer a range of services, including orthopedic, gastrointestinal, and ophthalmic surgeries. These centers are often more cost-effective than traditional hospitals and focus on patient comfort and efficiency, with shorter wait times and a streamlined process for outpatient care.
