Chirurgische Ambulanz

German to English Medical Medical: Health Care Training Reference
In dem Funktionsbereich Chirurgische Ambulanz hat sie großes Geschick bewiesen.

This is from a training reference. 'Surgical Outpatient Function' is all I can think of but I don't understand what that encompasses. I thought surgery would be an inpatient function.

surgical outpatient services

I would say, in the area of surgical outpatient services. Forget the "Funktion."

outpatient surgery unit [clinic] / day surgery unit (UK)

There are in fact some types of surgery where patients do not spend any time at a ward but leave the hospital immediately after treatment, or on the same day.

See, for example,
http://www.mayoclinic.org/volunteers-rst/rmhsurgery.html
http://www.outpatientsurgery.net/

http://www.addenbrookes.org.uk/serv/clin/periop/daysurgery1....

However, I tend to think that, in this case, the "chirurgische Ambulanz" is more concerned with follow-up examinations performed in patients who had undergone surgery before (which would somehow exclude my second suggestion).

Trudy is right - just drop the \"Funktionsbereich\" and say \"at the ...\".
