Procedures Performed

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

Cataract SurgeryThe clouded natural lens of the eye is removed and replaced with a clear artificial one. It is one of the most common outpatient procedures performed in the country, usually takes under 30 minutes per eye, and is done under light sedation with numbing drops rather than general anesthesia.LASIK / Refractive SurgeryA laser reshapes the cornea to correct nearsightedness, farsightedness, or astigmatism, reducing dependence on glasses or contacts. The procedure itself takes minutes per eye. Vision is often noticeably better within a day, though it can take several weeks to fully stabilize.Glaucoma SurgeryCreates a new drainage path for fluid inside the eye to lower internal pressure. Glaucoma damages the optic nerve silently, so the goal is preventing further vision loss rather than restoring vision already lost. Several minimally invasive options are now performed in outpatient settings.Retinal SurgeryRepairs the light-sensitive tissue at the back of the eye, most often for a detached or torn retina, or for bleeding related to diabetes. Timing matters β€” a detaching retina is treated urgently because delay increases the risk of permanent vision loss.Eyelid Surgery (Blepharoplasty)Removes excess skin and fat from the upper or lower eyelids. When drooping upper lids block part of the visual field, the procedure is functional rather than cosmetic and is often covered by insurance if visual field testing documents the obstruction.Corneal TransplantReplaces damaged or clouded corneal tissue with donor tissue. Modern techniques often replace only the affected layer rather than the full thickness, which shortens recovery. Vision improves gradually over months, and stitches may stay in place for a year or longer.
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 β€” 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 β€” 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.
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 β€” 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.
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 β€” impingement, loose fragments, or damaged cartilage β€” 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 was not a patient at ASLC, but the designated driver for someone having cataract surgery in the middle of the month. We arrived on time and were told that the surgery would be delayed for at least 1 1/2 hours. I thought this was terribly inconsiderate. The patient lived close enough that notice of the delay would have spared the patient - and me - wasted time, time that is hard to find when it is about a week before Christmas. Having to wait added to the patient's anxiety about the procedure, and the complex in which the office is located offered very little in the way of diversion. Speaking of location, staff had warned the patient that the office was difficult to find. They were right! It is very difficult to locate, especially because there are other medical offices with similar names in the same and abutting complexes. Rather than add signage or offer a diagram to ease locating the office, they apparently are content to let people get confused, irritated and frustrated. The patient felt the staff were great and her surgery was successful. That counts more than the pre-surgery inconvenience. But there really is no excuse for telling people their surgery will be delayed upon arrival when a text or phone call in advance would reduce the stress associated with a long wait, and would reduce or eliminate the threat that, due to the delay, the patient's designated driver might no longer be available to escort the patient home. Bottom line, a little consideration goes a long way.

Beginning with Keegan, the epitome of efficiency and organization, to Susan and Cassidy, as comforting as the warm blankets they brought, to Dr. Tom, the extremely handome anesthesiologist, (I've forgotten his last name but it rhymes with anesthesia) to the pie'ce de re'sistance, Dr. Townshend, every step of my eye surgergy was incredible due to this team. I am so grateful to them all and enjoy everyday being able to simply see. Maureen Kingston

Just had knee surgery there with Dr. Remia yesterday and just gotta say what an awesome experience it was. Surgical nursing staff , receptionist, intake, anesthesiologist, just everyone involved in my care was professional through and throughout with a bit of humor thrown into the mix. Dr. Remia is probably one of the coolest dudes out there, nicest person and most highly skilled surgeon . He put me right at ease and made me feel comfortable with the surgery and options afterwards. Kudos to everyone in that surgical center. I couldn't have asked for a better team !!!! Thank you everyone so much πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘

I had shoulder surgery with Dr Willis. The surgical team had me feeling quite confident prior to the procedure. I had no ill effects other than pronounced nausea after General anesthesia... I have no complaints! This is an excellent option if you feel you do not require a complete hospital experience.

This is the absolute worst place you could possibly get your surgery done on Cape Cod! I went there to have carpal tunnel surgery on my right wrist, and left with three broken teeth. The center didn’t even return my calls for over a week, and when they finally did they asked ME to tell THEM what happened! I was unconscious when three of my teeth were broken, under their care, and over a month later they still cannot tell me how they broke my teeth!!! They haven’t covered any expenses as well. Terrible location, terrible service. Go there at your own risk.
