Procedures Performed

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

Orthopaedic Surgery6
Knee ArthroscopyA camera and small instruments are inserted through incisions the size of a buttonhole to repair cartilage, trim a torn meniscus, or remove loose fragments. Because the joint is not opened fully, recovery is far faster than traditional open knee surgery.Shoulder ArthroscopyUses a small camera and instruments through tiny incisions to repair the shoulder joint — commonly for impingement, labral tears, or damaged cartilage. Most patients go home the same day and begin physical therapy within the first week.ACL ReconstructionRebuilds the torn anterior cruciate ligament using a graft, since a fully torn ACL does not heal on its own. The surgery itself is outpatient, but returning to cutting and pivoting sports typically takes nine to twelve months of structured rehabilitation.Rotator Cuff RepairReattaches torn tendons in the shoulder to the bone. Pain relief often comes well before strength does — a sling is typical for several weeks and full recovery commonly takes four to six months, with physical therapy doing much of the work.Carpal Tunnel ReleaseCuts the ligament pressing on the median nerve at the wrist to relieve numbness, tingling, and night pain in the hand. The procedure takes about 15 minutes under local anesthesia. Night symptoms often improve immediately; grip strength returns over several weeks.Joint ReplacementDamaged joint surfaces are replaced with implants, most commonly at the knee or hip. Once exclusively a hospital procedure, selected healthy patients now have this done at surgery centers and go home the same day with a structured recovery plan.
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 really great experience with all of the staff and medical team personnel at the Ankeny Surgery Center. The nurses were kind and explained everything fully, Dr. Butler and the anesthesiologist were both quick to answer questions and personable, and the procedure was speedy. The whole place felt very patient-centered. I would absolutely choose to have future surgical procedures there.

Second time they have kept us waiting here for hours on end. Today the excuse was the doctor was late. As if that is an acceptable excuse? Appointment was for 10:15 did not get back till 11:30. Last time had to wait 2 hours for results while doctor got lunch this time. This is un acceptable and total lack of professionalism being shown.

I’ve had two surgeries at the Ankeny Surgery Center. Each time was relaxing and not nerve wrecking as Dr. Brunkhorst and his team know what they’re doing. Even with the fluid shortage they’re having because of the hurricanes they had it under control. You can definitely go in trusting them with your life. And both times when I checked in the ladies up front were very nice and polite.

I have read these review and wonder if I went to the same place. I had shoulder surgery in March, The check in went well but after I was back in surgery, the screen was never updated as to where I was in the que. It made it difficult for my wife to know what was going on. Pre surgery nurse was great, very helpful and explained the whole procedure. After surgery I was told that my wife would be in so she could see how to put on my sling and answer any questions she had. This never happened. I woke up and my sling was on, my wife was called back only to be told to get the car. Went home not knowing what to do as I knew in a few days I would be removing my bandages and sling. Post surgery was so different than pre surgery, left with a bunch of questions.

They were all wonderful! They treated me like I was their only patient. I work in the medical field. I can attest to the stress as to how it can get some times. I live in Ames, and would love to have all procedures done at AMPSC if I could. Great job.
