Procedures Performed

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

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.
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.
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.
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.

I was absolutely blown away by the nurses, Anesthesiologists & my sons dentist on how attentive and out standing they all were while we were there for his oral surgery. Nurse Peggy & Debbie were so wonderful to us, I couldn't have asked for a better experience. Every time anyone there walked by our bed they checked in on him, made conversation with him, showed they really cared about him. As a momma, I was so nervous for him to be put under & have this surgery but they all made us feel so safe & comfortable. Fantastic people.

I had an endoscopic carpal tunnel release surgery on my left hand yesterday. I have already been contacted by the nurse to ask about my well being today. Everything they do and they did for me was about my safety and my comfort. The woman who checked me in, as well as her co-worker were extremely kind and efficient. I saw nurses cleaning as I was waiting for my procedure. At least 5 people asked how I was doing before my surgery. I remember going into the operating room and getting on the table, and then nothing until they woke me up. So kudos to the the anesthesiologist, who did a great job on me. I would definitely recommend this location for your minor surgery needs. Dr. Anthony Berni performed my surgery and I chose him because this is the less invasive way to have carpal tunnel release surgery, Not all doctors have the ability to do it endoscopically, like Dr Berni. In June, I had the traditional surgery and in September, I wanted to have Dr. Berni do the endoscopic version, which has a much shorter recovery time. I wish I had met Dr Anthony Berni earlier but I have both experiences (traditional vs endoscopic carpal tunnel release) in which to advise my friends and family. Thanks to all who treated me and I am sorry I do not remember all your names. Kindest Regards to you all and thank you for your impeccable care.

From start to finish this center and staff earned their 5 stars, no doubt about it. The waiting room is intimate and cozy, not nearly as intimidating or nerve wracking as a standard hospital. The wait time was minimal, and the staff was extremely friendly, making you feel at ease. The entire process ran like a well oiled machine, something you only find when everyone has a passion and genuine love for their job. They were informative and clear, but also caring and heart warning as their bedside manner helped to put you at ease. My overall experience with the Mid Rivers Surgery Center was a positive one, and I would highly recommended them for anyone needing a surgical procedure done.

Great experience, start to finish. We were asked to arrive at 5:45 am. When we arrived we were met by Debbie who was in a great mood and helpful. Once checked in Sara prepped my husband for surgery. Michelle came into discuss the anesthesia and what would happen. Pat and Tina were excellent before the surgery but my husband doesn't remember much after that. :) Surgery was complete in less than an hour and my husband went to post op. Kristi was thorough in her explanation and understanding when the pain escalated. The team was very professional, patient and most of all seemed to enjoy their jobs. Thank you for the great care and we would recommend Mid Rivers Surgery Center to anyone who needs surgery. 5 stars +
