Asheville Surgery Center

Now you can recover in the comfort of your own home.   For some patients, the idea of going to the hospital for an outpatient procedure can be worrisome and inconvenient.   What if you could avoid the hospital and be in and out in the same day - recovering in the comfort of your favorite armchair?  That's the idea behind Asheville Surgery Center and the reason so many patients choose to have their outpatient surgery with us. 

Asheville Surgery Center performed over 14,000 outpatient surgeries last year, making us the largest outpatient center in the area.   

Asheville Surgery Center is committed to offering advanced technology, skilled professionals, and the kind of care and compassion you'd expect from Mission Hospital.   The 30,000 square foot center is equipped with advanced equipment and features nine operating rooms and two procedure rooms.  The center is used by area surgeons and specialists in a variety of fields including:

At Asheville Surgery Center, many physicians perform minimally invasive surgical procedures.  The biggest difference between traditional surgery and minimally invasive surgery is that a patient experiences less trauma from surgery -- less pain, less risk of infection, less scarring, and best of all, a much shorter recovery time.   At Asheville Surgery Center, your surgeon has access to advanced technology for performing minimally invasive surgery, including the  daVinci® computer-assisted robotic system.  This advanced system allows the surgeon to insert miniaturized instruments and 3-D cameras to perform surgeries through tiny, dime-sized openings -- offering the surgeon greater accuracy and more options, giving you  an increased chance for a speedier recovery.

We invite you to see the surgery center before your surgery.  Our Preview Tours also give kids a chance to see the operating rooms, meet some of the staff, and even watch a special puppet having surgery.   Tours take place on the first and third Thursday of every month from 6:00-7:00 p.m. Call 828-213-0740 to reserve your spot at a Tour or visit the Pediatric Surgery page at Mission Children's Hospital.
