Surgical centers, also known as ambulatory surgical centers or outpatient surgery centers, are healthcare facilities designed for performing surgical procedures that do not require an overnight hospital stay. These centers are equipped with operating rooms and specialized medical staff, allowing patients to receive care in a more comfortable and less stressful environment compared to traditional hospitals. Patients typically visit surgical centers for minor surgeries, such as arthroscopy, cataract surgery, or endoscopy. The goal of these facilities is to provide efficient, high-quality care while minimizing costs and wait times. After their procedures, patients can usually return home the same day, promoting quicker recovery.
