I see from comments like yours re: MD Anderson and Jeff’s re: UCSF this is I think becoming more wide spread. I think it is important for patients to be aware of the options and whether they want to travel for something , certainly a little more inconvenient to travel for surgery, but extremely common. Also having gone home the same day as surgery is huge.

My guess is that all major cancer centers offer that technique nowadays. UCSF surgeons use it too, as far as I remember it was mentioned during consultations.
