Procedures Performed

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

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.

I had an endoscopy here. It went great and I felt no throat pain afterward. It started a little oddly, as the front waiting room is open but the window where you'd expect a person to be was closed. But I just knocked on the door at my appointment time, they opened the door, took me inside, and had me sign some paperwork while they explained everything that was going to happen. Everyone was kind and explained what would happen each step of the way. The experience was smooth and I was a bit nervous that having a tube shoved down my throat would leave me sore. It did not. My throat felt absolutely fine. The meds they gave me made me super tired for the next 6 hours, but no throat pain. Oddly enough, the only issue I have is that a repetitive staring injury I have in my forearm seems to be incredibly aggravated from the procedure. Perhaps I was lying in a way that tensed the muscles in my forearm or something. Not something I really blame them for but it does suck! Anyway, the overall experience was great.
