Procedures Performed

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

Otolaryngology (ENT Surgery)6
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.
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.
Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery6
Breast Augmentation / ReductionBreast size is increased by placing implants, or decreased by removing breast tissue and skin and repositioning the remaining tissue. Reduction is often performed to relieve back, neck, and shoulder pain caused by breast weight.RhinoplastySurgery that reshapes the nose by altering the bone and cartilage beneath the skin. It is performed to change appearance, to correct breathing problems caused by internal structure, or both. Swelling takes months to fully resolve.FaceliftLiposuctionFat is suctioned out from beneath the skin through small tubes called cannulas, reshaping a specific area such as the abdomen, flanks, or thighs. It targets localized deposits and is a contouring procedure rather than a method of weight loss.Wound ReconstructionRebuilds skin and underlying tissue where a wound is too large or too damaged to close directly. Surgeons move nearby tissue, or transfer skin and muscle from elsewhere on the body, to cover the defect. Often follows trauma, infection, or cancer removal.Skin GraftingHealthy skin is taken from one area of the body and transplanted to cover a wound or burn elsewhere. Both the graft site and the donor site need care, and the donor site is often the more uncomfortable of the two.
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.

I had an appointment scheduled today for my son's physical in Suite 325 Pediatrics. Prior to the appointment, I called and spoke with the receptionist, Rachel, to let her know I would be arriving a little late, but still within the 15 minute grace period. I was assured that this would not be an issue. I arrived at the office 14 minutes after the scheduled time, only to be met with unprofessional and dismissive service from Rachel (who wears glasses). Upon arrival, I was told I could wait for the next available appointment. Since I had taken the morning off and my son wasn’t due at school, I agreed to wait. However, just a few minutes later, Rachel informed me this time quite rudely that because I was now considered 20 minutes late, I would need to reschedule entirely. This was confusing and frustrating, especially since I had called ahead, was still within the original grace period when I arrived, and had already been told I could wait. Had I been clearly informed of the policy when I called, or even upon arrival, this situation could have been avoided. It’s unclear whether the grace period at this office is 15 or 20 minutes, and the lack of consistency in communication was disappointing. I did schedule another appointment but have since decided to cancel. I had chosen this location for its convenience, as I live nearby, but I’ll now be looking for a pediatric office that offers better customer service and clearer communication.

We experienced excellent service and care during our boys' tonsillectomies. We found the facilities to be clean and modern, with an aesthetically pleasing design.

I am one of the Pediatric GI doctors doing procedures here and I love the Surgery Center of Carmel! The OR staff, the anesthesiologists, the nursing staff, the front desk, everyone is amazing. Everything is run very efficiently and professionally. I feel that my patients are happy with the care and services here as well. Make sure to follow instructions given to you by your scheduler. Please note that individual doctor offices may handle the scheduling with you and not the surgery center. Arrival tips: make sure to arrive from North Illinois street side, as there is no direct access from North Meridian. It says CENTA (Center for Ear, Nose, Throat and Allergy) at the top of the building. Right next to Ritz Charles. Parking is very easy in front. Walk past the elevators straight ahead and you will be at the registration.

I had a surgical procedure done by Dr. Turkle. My experience at this surgery center was outstanding! The Anesthesiologist spent time with me prior to and took every precaution to keep me comfortable. His bedside manner was stellar! My nurse Heather, was calming, kind, concerned, personable and took excellent care of me from start to finish..(including making me an iced coffee, when asked if I wanted anything). Thank you to all who assisted and cared for me on this journey!

My son had his 3rd surgery here, he is 3.5. We would chose going here over anywhere else. Nurses are kind, helpful, and patient. They get you in and out quickly but still make sure you are informed and well taken care of. My son has had issues with coming out of anesthesia in the past but they made us feel comfortable and this expierence today has been the best. While I hope it is our last, if we need to come back I have no issues with feeling like we are in the best of hands.
