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.

Not professional.Never again.Its more like a dmv line rushed in and out. Messed up my iv. The young girl wouldn’t even leave the room so I could get dressed. She rushed me to wake up and stand up still dizzy to get dressed in front of her while butt naked. Its like an assembly line. Found medical patches on me when I went to shower.

I wish I could give 1000 stars! You know you chose the right doctor when you’re laying in the holding bay and I hear the patient’s loving family member helping them get ready to go home. However, I was mistaken, and discovered it was a nurse, not a family member helping my neighbor. (now that’s outstanding service!) I’m pleased to share that my journey to the procedure room was equally pleasant coupled with a team that has a great sense of humor! They made me feel relaxed through the entire procedure! This was hands-down, my best experience! I waited six months for my procedure, and I would do it again! They are well worth the wait! Believe me, I’ve had TONS of procedures, the good the bad and the ugly! (Can I get an amen? Lol) I highly recommend Central Delaware Endoscopy!

The staff was very professional and helpful. They were on time. If fact 10 minutes early. The staff explained every step before it was done. Gave me a feeling of wellbeing. As a retired RN I recommend them highly. Thank you .
