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.

What a great experience with the team at AVALA Surgery Center! From the moment I arrived, to the prep, pre-op and post op, the staff was amazing, treating me with kindness, professionalism, and answering all of my questions with patience and understanding. Thanks to everyone at AVALA! Highly recommend.

The procedure was great. Front office staff has no clue what they’re doing. I was told I could not use the restroom due to a policy that people who are on pain meds have to do a urine test. If anybody had looked at my chart, I was not on any pain meds. Also, there were multiple appointments, including my surgery, where I did not get a confirmation call. I had to call to confirm that I had my appointment day of. I was told by many people that you guys are the best in the area and there’s a part of me that wishes I would’ve went with Ochsner because I wouldn’t have so much confusion and difficulty with the front of office staff.
