Procedures Performed

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

Knee ArthroscopyA camera and small instruments are inserted through incisions the size of a buttonhole to repair cartilage, trim a torn meniscus, or remove loose fragments. Because the joint is not opened fully, recovery is far faster than traditional open knee surgery.Shoulder ArthroscopyUses a small camera and instruments through tiny incisions to repair the shoulder joint — commonly for impingement, labral tears, or damaged cartilage. Most patients go home the same day and begin physical therapy within the first week.ACL ReconstructionRebuilds the torn anterior cruciate ligament using a graft, since a fully torn ACL does not heal on its own. The surgery itself is outpatient, but returning to cutting and pivoting sports typically takes nine to twelve months of structured rehabilitation.Rotator Cuff RepairReattaches torn tendons in the shoulder to the bone. Pain relief often comes well before strength does — a sling is typical for several weeks and full recovery commonly takes four to six months, with physical therapy doing much of the work.Carpal Tunnel ReleaseCuts the ligament pressing on the median nerve at the wrist to relieve numbness, tingling, and night pain in the hand. The procedure takes about 15 minutes under local anesthesia. Night symptoms often improve immediately; grip strength returns over several weeks.Joint ReplacementDamaged joint surfaces are replaced with implants, most commonly at the knee or hip. Once exclusively a hospital procedure, selected healthy patients now have this done at surgery centers and go home the same day with a structured recovery plan.
Tonsillectomy / AdenoidectomyThe tonsils and sometimes the adenoids are removed for repeated infections or sleep-disordered breathing. Recovery is notably harder for adults than children, with significant throat pain for a week or more and a real emphasis on staying hydrated.Ear Tube PlacementTiny tubes are placed through the eardrum to drain fluid and ventilate the middle ear, most often for children with recurrent ear infections. The procedure takes about 10 minutes and the tubes usually fall out on their own within a year.Sinus Surgery (FESS)A camera and instruments passed through the nostrils open blocked sinus drainage pathways, with no external incisions. Considered for chronic sinusitis that has not improved with medication. Congestion often worsens briefly before it improves.SeptoplastyThe wall of cartilage and bone between the nostrils is straightened to improve airflow through a blocked side. It addresses breathing rather than external appearance, though it is sometimes combined with cosmetic reshaping.Turbinate ReductionSwollen tissue inside the nose is shrunk to improve airflow, frequently at the same time as septoplasty. Often the difference between a nose that is structurally straight and one that actually feels open.LaryngoscopyA scope examines the voice box and vocal cords, used for persistent hoarseness, difficulty swallowing, or throat pain that has not resolved. Small lesions can sometimes be biopsied or removed during the same procedure.
Epidural Steroid InjectionsSteroid medication is injected near irritated spinal nerve roots to calm inflammation causing sciatica or arm pain. Often used to make physical therapy tolerable rather than as a standalone cure. There are limits on how frequently they can be repeated.Nerve Block InjectionsAnesthetic, sometimes with steroid, is injected around a specific nerve to interrupt pain signals. Used both to treat pain and to identify its source, since relief from a precisely placed block points to the nerve responsible.Radiofrequency AblationHeat generated by radio waves disables the small nerves carrying pain signals from an arthritic spinal joint. Relief commonly lasts six months to two years. Because the nerves regenerate over time, the procedure can be repeated.Spinal Cord StimulationA device delivers mild electrical pulses to the spinal cord to interrupt chronic pain signals before they reach the brain. A temporary trial period is done first, so you can judge the benefit before committing to a permanent implant.Joint InjectionsSteroid or lubricating medication is injected directly into an arthritic or inflamed joint. Image guidance is often used to confirm placement. Relief typically lasts weeks to months and can make physical therapy more productive.Trigger Point InjectionsA local anesthetic is injected into a taut, tender knot of muscle to break the spasm-and-pain cycle. The appointment takes minutes and you can usually return to normal activity the same day.

My husband had a Reverse Total Shoulder Replacement by Dr. Christopher Stevens in September. I was very impressed with the quality of care and professionalism of all the staff. I am a retired surgical RN and highly recommend this facility. Dr. Stevens is an excellent surgeon and explained everything to me post-op. Nora Sanchez FNP was so helpful in scheduling the procedure with all the difficulty with insurance. Dr. Yale was great, and the nerve block lasted almost 36 hours. Lindsey, the O.R. nurse explained everything thoroughly. Thanks to Jess at the front desk, David and Sara the preop nurses and Val the pacu nurse.

As a farmer and martial artist, my arm function is vital. After all other treatments failed for my severe lateral epicondylitis and tendon tear, Dr. Stevens at Tucson Orthopedic Institute performed surgery. The staff at Oro Valley Surgical Center, especially head nurse David, were exceptionally professional and caring. The surgery was perfect, and my physical therapy is progressing well. Highly recommend!

I had a positive experience here. I was there for foot surgery (fusing my big toe). The receptionist was super nice. She was friendly and professional. She had all my paperwork ready for me before I even arrived. My arrival time was 9:30 and I was called back by 9:45. The nursing staff was nice and willing to accommodate me. Prepping me for surgery was easy (I am a very compliant patient). All my questions were answered. Deb was my OR nurse. She was wonderful. After the surgery, Adriana was my recovery nurse. She helped me to the restroom and provided me with as much water as I needed (I was parched). She wheeled me out to the car and helped me in. The staff here were very nice. It was clear to me that they truly cared for their patients. My sincerest gratitude to everyone involved in my care.

I had a hip replacement here and was amazed and the care I got from pre-op to recovery. Doris did my pre-op and was so caring the whole time. Dr Bowers did my hip and Dr Escalante was my anesthesiologist. He answered my questions and even gave me new information. Very attentive during the whole process. Lindsay was my Op-nurse and again very caring and attentive to my questions and needs. the whole time I felt they really did care about taking care of me. Great experience!
