Procedures Performed

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

Sports Medicine6
ACL / MCL ReconstructionRebuilds torn knee ligaments using a graft. ACL tears generally require reconstruction to restore stability, while MCL injuries more often heal without surgery. Full return to sport takes months of rehabilitation, not weeks.Meniscus RepairTreats a tear in the cartilage that cushions the knee, either by stitching the tear or trimming the damaged portion. Repairing preserves more cushioning but requires a longer, more protected recovery than trimming does.Shoulder StabilizationTightens or reattaches stretched and torn tissue after repeated shoulder dislocations. Each dislocation causes further damage, so surgery is often recommended for younger, active patients rather than waiting for the pattern to continue.Tendon RepairReconnects a torn tendon so muscle can move bone again. Because tendons heal slowly and under tension, recovery involves a protected period of immobilization followed by gradual loading — rushing this stage risks re-rupture.PRP InjectionsA sample of your own blood is concentrated into platelet-rich plasma and injected into an injured tendon or joint to support healing. It is typically a same-day office or outpatient procedure. Evidence varies by condition, and insurance frequently does not cover it.Arthroscopic DebridementLoose cartilage, inflamed tissue, and debris are cleaned out of a joint through small incisions. It can relieve mechanical symptoms like catching or locking, though it is not a treatment for widespread arthritis on its own.
General Surgery6
Hernia RepairTissue pushing through a weak spot in the abdominal wall is returned to place and the defect reinforced, usually with mesh. Hernias do not resolve on their own and gradually enlarge, so repair is typically recommended once symptoms appear.Gallbladder Removal (Cholecystectomy)The gallbladder is removed through several small incisions, most often because gallstones are causing pain after meals. Digestion continues normally without it, though some people find fatty foods harder to tolerate for a period afterward.AppendectomyThe inflamed appendix is removed, usually laparoscopically and usually urgently, since a ruptured appendix is considerably more dangerous than an intact one. Recovery from an uncomplicated case is typically a week or two.HemorrhoidectomySurgical removal of severe hemorrhoids that have not responded to banding or other office treatments. It is the most effective option and also the most uncomfortable — expect a recovery of a couple of weeks.Skin Lesion RemovalA concerning or bothersome growth is cut away, usually under local anesthesia, and typically sent for pathology to confirm whether it is benign. The visit is short and most people return to normal activity the same day.Laparoscopic ProceduresSurgery performed through several small incisions using a camera and long instruments rather than one large opening. Compared with open surgery this generally means less pain, smaller scars, and a faster return to normal activity.
Urology6
CystoscopyA thin camera passed through the urethra examines the bladder lining. Used to investigate blood in the urine, recurrent infections, or urinary difficulty. The procedure takes only a few minutes and is often done with numbing gel rather than sedation.Kidney Stone Treatment (Lithotripsy)Shock waves break a kidney stone into fragments small enough to pass in the urine. No incision is required. Passing the fragments over the following days can still be uncomfortable, and a temporary stent is sometimes placed to keep the ureter open.Transurethral ResectionTissue is removed through the urethra using a scope, with no external incision — most commonly to relieve urinary obstruction from an enlarged prostate, or to remove bladder tumors. A catheter typically stays in place briefly afterward.VasectomyCircumcisionProstate ProceduresA group of treatments addressing an enlarged prostate blocking urine flow, ranging from steam and implant techniques to tissue removal. Options differ meaningfully in recovery time and in their effect on sexual function — worth discussing specifically.
Anesthesiology6
General AnesthesiaMedication renders you fully unconscious and unaware for the procedure, with an anesthesiologist managing your airway and monitoring you throughout. Used when you need to be completely still or the procedure is longer. Grogginess and nausea afterward are more pronounced than with lighter sedation.Regional Nerve BlocksA targeted injection of local anesthetic numbs a specific region such as an arm or leg while you remain awake or lightly sedated. The block often lasts for hours afterward, which helps post-op pain — but the numb limb needs protecting until sensation returns.Epidural InjectionsAnti-inflammatory medication is placed in the space around the spinal nerves to reduce pain radiating into an arm or leg. Relief may take several days to appear and duration varies widely, from weeks to months.Spinal AnesthesiaA single injection into the lower back numbs the body below roughly the waist while you stay awake or lightly sedated. Common for lower-extremity and some pelvic procedures. Sensation and movement return over a few hours.Monitored Anesthesia Care (MAC)IV sedation leaves you relaxed, drowsy, and usually with no memory of the procedure, while you continue breathing on your own. Common for endoscopy and cataract surgery. Recovery is typically faster than after general anesthesia.Pain Management ProceduresA range of injections and minimally invasive treatments used to locate and reduce chronic pain. Many are diagnostic as well as therapeutic — the response to a targeted injection helps confirm which structure is generating the pain.

Not sure why there is only 2.8 stars rating. I got the gastric sleeve with Dr. Wesley Girod. Leshawn is my nurse and Joshua Hammonds is my nurse practitioner. They have been amazing to me! I started at 263 lbs and less than a week later I’m now 246. They gave me very thorough instructions to follow for after my sleeve, and they took great care of me in this process. They are also affordable if paying out of pocket, comparable to going to Mexico. I’m very grateful for them and they did a great job on me. Very happy I chose this location.

Im not sure what happened for others but for ME today I had an absolutely professional experience with a laser stone removal. Nurses were GREAT, Staff GREAT, Dr. MOORE was exceptional. As a veteran and a county Veteran Service Officer all these experiences will enable me to assuage any worries my vets have regarding procedures at Southern Surgery.

The receptionists and the ultrasound techs are extremely unprofessional and rude. I was scheduled for an ultrasound on my kidneys and have to have a full bladder. I had to pee really bad after waiting 30 minutes now over an hour I was told I could reschedule. Um I took off and I’m having real issues. They did blood work 3 days before and results comes back that the lady didn’t draw enough blood which I know to be true because she didn’t want to stick me again because I told her that arm didn’t work well. I’m highly disappointed ☹️

Dr. Debra Azar has been nothing but exceptional in helping me with my prostate over the last few years. I had three surgeries Dr. Deborah performed and she made sure they were painless as possible. I have no close friends or family members to help watch me with first 24hrs after surgery, they allowed me to stay over night at the hospital (Merritt Wesley) to monitor me. Also big thanks to Hope Pittman NR and her staff for all their help and knowledge, they made my life better. I would highly recommend them. Thx again.
