Ambulatory surgery, or outpatient surgery, is a planned surgical episode where the patient requires less than a 24-hour hospital stay. Numerous surgeries are performed on an outpatient status. Some of the most common outpatient surgery procedures include endoscopies of the large or small intestine and extractions of the eye lens. (source: Centers for Disease Control and Prevention)
