    Although 70 percent of surgeries are currently performed in hospitals or ambulatory surgical centers, the trend toward office-based surgery is growing at least as fast as the trend toward ambulatory surgery grew a few years ago. Today, about one out of 10 surgeries are performed in a doctor's office.
