Is Anyone doing Major Gyn procedures in ASCs

Does anyone have contact info for facility managers at ASCs where major gyn cases such as laparoscopic hysterectomies are being routinely performed?

We have done both, LAVH's and Vag Hysts. We don't do many. The patient goes home with a portable pain pump and is evaluated by Home Health and taught to use the pump by the company that sets up the pump.

We are a freestanding ASC in Iowa.
We routinely do open and laparoscopic myomectomies. We also do tubal reanastmosis several times a week. Another ASC in our town does lap hysts. We are prepared to do hysts, but our staff of surgeons are a bit slower to make the change.

We have one surgeon who has done laparoscopic hysterectomies at our facility, 4-6 in the last year. He also routinely does multiple myomectomies and tubal reversals several times a month.
