Procedures Performed

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

Ophthalmology (Eye Surgery)6
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 — 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.
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.
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.
Interventional Pain Management6
Epidural Steroid InjectionsSteroid medication is injected near irritated spinal nerve roots to calm inflammation causing sciatica or arm pain. Often used to make physical therapy tolerable rather than as a standalone cure. There are limits on how frequently they can be repeated.Nerve Block InjectionsAnesthetic, sometimes with steroid, is injected around a specific nerve to interrupt pain signals. Used both to treat pain and to identify its source, since relief from a precisely placed block points to the nerve responsible.Radiofrequency AblationHeat generated by radio waves disables the small nerves carrying pain signals from an arthritic spinal joint. Relief commonly lasts six months to two years. Because the nerves regenerate over time, the procedure can be repeated.Spinal Cord StimulationA device delivers mild electrical pulses to the spinal cord to interrupt chronic pain signals before they reach the brain. A temporary trial period is done first, so you can judge the benefit before committing to a permanent implant.Joint InjectionsSteroid or lubricating medication is injected directly into an arthritic or inflamed joint. Image guidance is often used to confirm placement. Relief typically lasts weeks to months and can make physical therapy more productive.Trigger Point InjectionsA local anesthetic is injected into a taut, tender knot of muscle to break the spasm-and-pain cycle. The appointment takes minutes and you can usually return to normal activity the same day.
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.
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.

The Dr performing my procedure was great, but the surgery center not so much. 1. They charged $400 dollars more than what I was quoted. We didn’t have time to really investigate the disconnect because I was already scheduled to go under in less than an hour. The clerk just said my Dr under quoted me so I just had to pay it. 2. The bed was dirty, linens had multiple pieces of hair woven in them. It was really gross. 3. Too many people talking/hanging out on the floor, too many people walking around in the surgery suite that were obviously not patients. The environment came off as very unprofessional, way too relaxed. It made me very nervous about the care I was getting. 4. The technician or nurse, not sure who she was, could not find my vein, but decided to dig in with the needle and try to find it anyway instead of calling someone more experienced to start the IV. This is even after I told her my veins are hard to find, and her looking at multiple sites. She caused horrible pain and then I had to get re-stuck by someone else. When I complained she stated “girlfriend it has to get in there somehow how”. The issue was not me, it was her lack of experience. So unprofessional. She did not apologize and had horrible bed side manner. The nurse and CRNA that assisted my surgery were good. Overall though I did not have a good experience.

Today I had an epidural steroid injection for pain I’ve been dealing with for 8 months. I’m giving it a 4 star because of the Doctor I had. Dr. Chen. I don’t like how some doctors like to tell you what they think you did to get in that situation. My c5 n c6 is on my nerve in my neck it’s been getting really bad. I’ve been waiting on other appointments but had to wait and the pain was getting to me. So my doctor decided to refer me to someone else and thank God they replied the same day. Why did this doctor tell me that he bet my neck is like this because of how often I be on the phone. He said I bet if I see your screen time on your phone I bet my mouth would drop. He didn’t even let me tell him what I deal with on a daily basis. Having two autistic kids 12 years apart and having to do everything for both of them. Get them dress brush their teeth doing their hair. One has long waist length hair other one I keep it low. I’m a single parent with everything on my plate. I do a lot. They both in school I make sure I’m involved in everything they do. I’m stressed depressed trying to do right by my kids and make sure I make them happy. They both have at least one appointment each week for something. So you mean to tell me my doctor today want to tell me that I stay on my phone too much and at my age I shouldn’t be doing that. That was his final answer that I stay on my phone too much and that’s why I’m in the situation I’m in😡😡😡 I’m the one to take them to their pediatrician, dentist, eye doctors, pulmonologist, ENT(ear nose throat) psychiatrist, occupational speech and physical therapy outside of school. And these appointments is in Jackson Hattiesburg Ocean springs and Alabama. I also tried telling him that I had a wreck April 13th and that’s when I really felt pain in my neck. He said it’s because I’m getting up their in age. The staff is very nice and respectful. I’ve been to this place before for my baby when he was 2 he had to get scoped. That’s why I thought I was gone get help and not get criticized and talked down on by the doctor. I guess he had a bad morning. I was there at 7 they started at 8am. It was mostly older people and a little baby. Maybe he needed to let his frustrations off on someone and I was that one. Dr. Chen last words to me is well I see we will be going back and forth on this for another 5 hours and I don’t have the time and neither do you. Dr. Chen start listening to your patients after you done asked them questions knowing you not gone give them a chance to talk. You said my doctor the surgeon referred me to you. Correction they were waiting for me to get help with the hospital they were booked up and my pain kept increasing. It was me calling them to help me is what got me there. I DON’T LIKE FOR A DOCTOR THATS OVER ME MEDICALLY TO GO BACK AND FORTH WITH ME LIKE WE’RE TWO ENEMIES!!!!

I am not one to leave reviews, but my daughter’s experience was so wonderful here. She is 7 years old and was having her tonsils removed. She was so anxious and nervous, due to past medical experiences. The anesthesiologist, Kelly, was amazing. He made my daughter feel as comfortable as possible to ease her fears. He let her practice everything she would do beforehand. He was amazing! Dr. Seicshnaydre was amazing as well! The whole staff was so was kind. They consistently gave me updates on my daughter’s well-being while I could not be with her! Nurse Izzy was also so kind to send a text update towards the end of her procedure. I could not be more pleased with our experience here!

I had an outpatient procedure done by Dr. Thriffley he is a great orthopedic. This was my first time in this building. It’s very clean, easy to find where you need to go. The staff is very friendly, and everyone is very punctual. They explain and make your experience really nice. If I ever have to have a procedure done again I wouldn’t hesitate coming back here. I would highly recommend to family and friends!

I had surgery here and had an unexpectedly great experience. I had great service from Nurses Becca, Izzy, and V. Nurse Paige was absolutely AMAZING! She was knowledgeable, professional, and has an outstanding bedside manner! She is undoubtedly the friendliest, most attentive nurse I’ve ever encountered in all of my years! Thank you for your excellent service, Paige! You’re my favorite! 😃
