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.

I had a colon screening a few weeks ago here, my second at this location. It could not have gone any smoother. From the prep work you have to do a few days prior, to check in. My attending nurse Karen was absolutely fabulous! My anesthesiologist met with me just prior to the procedure and explained everything to me and asked me if I had any questions. Unfortunately I don't recall his name, but he is quite obviously a dedicated professional. Dr. Leonard Flescher was awesome and explained the results of my screening in clear and understandable terms. Michelle B also treated me very well during my appointment. The crap they make you drink during the prep procedure still tastes AWFUL though, so that unfortunately hasn't changed. I highly recommend the Fort Myers Surgery Center for your colonoscopy/colon screening.

Absolutely the best procedure experience ever. Every single staff from the moment I walked in the door to leaving post procedure was wonderful on 11/7/24. About 6 teammates and every one was caring, compassionate, empathetic, and detailed. Highly recommend this location. Thank you for the perfect care ❤️

Had a wonderful experience with this surgery center. The staff was very professional and very kind and compassionate. I would highly recommend this center for all your gastro procedures. Also, Dr Patel is the best. Very easy to talk to and listens to what you have to say. He resolved my gastro issues with another medication he prescribed.
