Procedures Performed

Common outpatient procedures performed at this ambulatory surgery center, based on reported specialties.

Gastroenterology (GI Surgery)6
ColonoscopyA flexible camera examines the full length of the colon to screen for cancer and remove polyps before they become cancerous. Done under sedation, it typically takes 30 to 60 minutes. The bowel prep the day before is the part most patients find hardest.Upper Endoscopy (EGD)A thin camera passed through the mouth examines the esophagus, stomach, and the first part of the small intestine. Used to investigate persistent heartburn, difficulty swallowing, unexplained bleeding, or abdominal pain. Usually takes 15 to 30 minutes under sedation.Flexible SigmoidoscopyExamines the lower portion of the colon only, rather than its full length. Preparation is lighter than a full colonoscopy and sedation is sometimes unnecessary, but it cannot detect problems higher in the colon.Capsule EndoscopyYou swallow a vitamin-sized camera that photographs the small intestine as it passes through — a region that standard scopes cannot easily reach. There is no sedation and no recovery. The capsule passes naturally, and images are reviewed after the fact.ERCPCombines endoscopy and X-ray imaging to diagnose and treat blockages in the bile and pancreatic ducts, most often gallstones stuck in a duct. Unlike a routine endoscopy, it carries a meaningful risk of pancreatitis afterward, so it is used when treatment is likely rather than for screening alone.Hemorrhoid TreatmentShrinks or removes swollen veins in the rectum and anus using rubber band ligation, injection, or surgical removal depending on severity. Banding is quick and typically requires no anesthesia; surgical removal is more effective for advanced cases but recovery is noticeably more uncomfortable.

This team of Dr's and associates have helped me over the past 3 years try to figure out what the heck is going on with me. Still have not pin pointed exactly what it is but they are not giving up!! Well I have been going back and forth between them and UAB since 2022… I am worse today them when I started,they said they would not give up on me but here we go.. now I’m being sent to Emory in Atlanta. I just do not know how we are going to afford this! But I know one thing, after my last procedure with Dr. Rutland I will NOT be going back to them! I was on the table, he walks in doesn’t even look at me let alone speak to me.. I wait about 2 minutes and finally yell “well good morning” he just turns around and says good morning… then turns back around to the computer. Out of all the visits (which have been A LOT, I’ve seen him maybe 4 times, the other have been the nurse practitioner.

The team got me in and out quickly, well organized, and good care. I was nervous, but Teresa at the front desk was very professional and kind. She probably deserves a raise. Thank you.
