The ASC has four operating rooms and provides colorectal and general surgery, as well as retinal repair, orthopedics, podiatry and urology. It plans to add two operating rooms and increase the number of surgical services it offers, according to a May 8 report from the Boston Business Journal

The two new operating rooms come with the expansion of surgical services to include gynecological surgery, expanded ophthalmology services, plastic surgery, expanded urology care and vascular vein repair.

The ASC expansion will also free up operating room space at South Shore Hospital for more complex surgeries, according to the report. 

A timeframe for the expansion has not been announced. 

At the Becker’s 32nd Annual Meeting: The Business and Operations of ASCs, taking place October 29-31 in Chicago, ASC leaders, surgeons and healthcare executives will explore strategies to drive growth, enhance operational performance, navigate reimbursement challenges and prepare for the future of ambulatory surgery.
