If you have undergone traditional surgery in a hospital, you may be familiar with the sights and sounds of the hospital lobby, emergency room, and operating room. There is a sense of hurry that can contribute to the stress levels of the patient and the surgical team alike.
In contrast, outpatient surgery – also called ASC surgery (ambulatory surgery center surgery) – is quick and enables the patient to go home on the same day of the procedure, barring no issues or infections. This type of surgery is a very positive trend in healthcare, as patients are able to receive necessary procedures without worrying about extended stays at the hospital, long recovery times, and having to take days off from work.
Surgeries performed at ASCs are typically minimally invasive. The surgery may be diagnostic in nature, such as laparoscopy, colonoscopy, or endoscopy, which may also include minor surgical repairs if necessary.
What Is an ASC?
An ambulatory surgery center is a modern healthcare facility that offers ultra-convenient, same-day surgery to patients. One of the benefits of ASC surgery rather than surgery at a hospital is that patients may need to wait weeks or months before they can have an operation at a hospital, whereas doctors can schedule surgeries at ASCs more quickly and conveniently.
ASCs are sterile environments that boast a lower infection risk than hospitals because these outpatient surgery centers handle a lower volume of patients and visitors walking around the premises. No one stays overnight in the facility, which cuts down the risk of infections and related complications because there is simply less exposure to possible germs from others.
Patients who undergo surgery at ASCs report higher levels of satisfaction and positive surgical outcomes than those who have surgery performed at hospitals. This is because the physicians have more control over surgical practices, and the medical staff serves fewer patients at a time. As a result, they are in a better position to provide high-quality, personalized, attentive care.
