surgery center

Outpatient operation site

A surgery center is a medical facility where outpatient surgical procedures are performed—operations that don't require an overnight hospital stay.

Also called an ambulatory surgery center or outpatient surgery center.

These facilities handle procedures like colonoscopies, cataract removals, and minor orthopedic repairs: She had her knee scoped at a surgery center and went home the same day.
