Procedures Performed

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

Obstetrics & Gynecology6
HysteroscopyA slim camera passed through the cervix examines the inside of the uterus, and can remove polyps or fibroids in the same visit. No abdominal incision is involved. Cramping for a day or two afterward is normal.LaparoscopyA camera and instruments are inserted through small abdominal incisions, allowing diagnosis and treatment without a large open incision. Used for endometriosis, ovarian cysts, and pelvic pain, with recovery measured in days rather than weeks.D&C (Dilation and Curettage)The cervix is dilated and the uterine lining removed, for heavy bleeding, after a miscarriage, or to obtain tissue for diagnosis. The procedure takes 10 to 15 minutes and most people return to normal activity within a day or two.Tubal LigationThe fallopian tubes are sealed, cut, or removed to provide permanent contraception. It should be considered irreversible — reversal is not reliably successful, so it is intended for people certain they do not want future pregnancy.Endometrial AblationThe uterine lining is destroyed to reduce or stop heavy menstrual bleeding, offering an alternative to hysterectomy. It is not a contraceptive, and it is only appropriate for those who have completed childbearing.Ovarian Cyst RemovalA persistent, enlarging, or painful ovarian cyst is removed, usually laparoscopically. Surgeons generally aim to remove the cyst while preserving the ovary itself, particularly for patients who may want future pregnancy.
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.
Podiatry (Foot & Ankle Surgery)6
Bunion Correction (Bunionectomy)The bony prominence at the base of the big toe is removed and the bone realigned, often with screws or plates. Recovery involves weeks in a protective shoe or boot, and swelling can persist for several months.Hammertoe CorrectionA toe permanently bent at the middle joint is straightened, sometimes with a temporary pin holding the correction. Considered when the toe rubs painfully in shoes or has developed calluses and sores.Plantar Fascia ReleaseThe tight band of tissue along the bottom of the foot is partially released to relieve stubborn heel pain. Reserved for cases that have not improved after months of stretching, orthotics, and other conservative treatment.Ankle ArthroscopyA small camera and instruments treat problems inside the ankle joint — impingement, loose fragments, or damaged cartilage — through incisions a few millimeters wide, avoiding a larger open exposure.Ingrown Toenail RemovalThe edge of a nail growing into the surrounding skin is removed under local anesthesia. When the problem keeps recurring, the nail-forming tissue at that edge is also treated so it does not grow back.Foot Fracture RepairBroken bones in the foot are realigned and stabilized with hardware so they heal in position. Because the foot bears your full weight with every step, alignment matters more here than the small bone size suggests.

What a great place for colonscopy from the amazing Dr Kappler. He's such a great Dr and so kind. Shout out to Kimberly who got my IV line in first shot. She's amazing. All the staff nurses are top notch. I will never go anywhere else.

Had my Colonoscopy done Thursday Aug. 21st by Dr. George Kourdari and it went very well. I was there from check-in to leaving 2.5 hours (they took me early for prep) Had 4 Polyops removed (received pictures afterwards before their removal). The entire staff was great, informative and friendly. I recommend them highly. Already recommended an elderly couple to see the Doctor after I told them how it went.

I recently had a minor procedure at the Tradition ambulatory surgery center at Cleveland Clinic, I was very impressed with the whole staff. Edith, Lucy and Michelle were friendly and efficient, they made me feel very comfortable thoughout the whole experience but eveyone there was very nice and professional. Dr. George Khoudari is very good too, thorough and attentive, he made feel like my concerns were taken seriously. Highly recommended!

The Cleveland Clinic Tradition Surgery Center staff excels in knowledge, kindness, and empathy. Rarely have I experienced the quality of treatment I received at this facility. I especially want to thank RN Nicole and Dr. Kappler for their professionalism.

Last week, I had 2 GI procedures completed at the surgery center. I was a little nervous, given some of the reviews I read. I received calls to provide info prior to the procedure. Appointment was early morning. Check in was a breeze. I was called back within minutes. Nurse Jewell was a sweetheart. She was very kind, caring, and respectful. All of the medical staff was amazing! The anesthesiologist and Dr. Kappler were caring of my concerns and explained everything. I felt really at peace going into the OR. Everything went very well. I really felt that I was in good hands and well taken care of there. Thank you for the excellent service!
