Ambulatory surgery, often called outpatient surgery, is a very special practice of medicine. 65% of American surgical procedures are now done on an outpatient basis, where no hospital stay is required. Advances in anesthesia technique have made this lower cost and faster recovery method possible.

You may have had ambulatory surgery before, or be considering it for the first time. Either way, you'll have questions, and this web site will bring you the answers.

Fill out the SAMBA Patient Information Center Feedback Form to request more specific information about outpatient surgery AND to hear about online ambulatory anesthesia resources about your question.
