outpatient surgeries

I would be inclined to translate this as "outpatient surgeries", or maybe you could translate the whole thing as "surgeries providing assistance for outpatients". Not 100% happy with "external surgeries", but see what others think.

Yes, out-patient offices would be more appropriate if this is into US English.

Thanks Aoife74.
agree María Teresa Taylor Oliver : I wouldn't say "surgeries", though... because they're not only for surgeries, are they? But "outpatient" is the right term.

In British English, a "surgery" is a doctor's office, so may encompass things other than surgery. I therefore see nothing greatly wrong with "surgeries", if this is UK English. But Henry's "facilities" is also very good.

Gracias, Tere.
agree Lucinda Hollenberg : This is a general term. I think that "outpatient surgeries" is too limiting. It does not include patients with other problems not related to surgery.
