What Is The Risk Of Infection At An Ambulatory Surgery Center?

Surgeries And Risk Go Hand-In-Hand

With any surgery comes the risk of infection. Healthcare-associated infections, or HAIs, happen when a patient contracts an infection while receiving treatment. The illness is sometimes unrelated to the procedure and can happen at any medical institution. An ambulatory surgical center, or ASC, is no different. However, patients may be surprised to know the risk of infection is significantly lower.
