NASC's orthopedic total joint program grows with the addition of outpatient total knee replacement, in continued collaboration with New Hampshire Orthopaedic Center.
NASHUA, N.H., Aug. 31, 2026 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Nashua Ambulatory Surgical Center (NASC) has successfully performed its first outpatient Total Knee Replacement, expanding the center's orthopedic total joint program.
The procedure was performed by Eric Benson, MD, of New Hampshire Orthopaedic Center (NHOC). It adds to NASC's growing total joint program, in which NHOC surgeons also perform total hip replacement and arthroscopic orthopedic procedures at the center.
"Adding outpatient total knee replacement is an exciting step forward for our total joint program," said Meredith Sterling, BSN, RN, CNOR, Nurse Administrator at NASC. "It allows more patients to receive advanced, hospital-quality joint replacement surgery close to home, with the comfort of recovering in their own bed the same night. We're proud to continue growing this program alongside the surgeons at NHOC."
Advances in surgical technique, anesthesia, and pain management have made outpatient total joint replacement a safe and effective option for eligible patients, offering shorter recovery times and a more comfortable healing environment compared to traditional hospital-based surgery.
NASC continues to expand its orthopedic capabilities, working closely with leading surgeons and partners like NHOC to bring advanced procedures to the outpatient setting.
