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.
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.

I cannot say enough good things about my experience at the Bryn Mawr Surgery Center. From my phone conversation two days prior explaining what time to come and what the expected time schedule would be. Upon my arrival I was met by Danell who was very pleasant and checked me in. A short time later a RN named Maryann escorted me inside and started to process. She was very professional and answered all my questions while she went about her duties in getting me ready for surgery. While there I was met by the RN Sara who informed me she was the OR nurse who would be in the OR during the procedure. I then met the Dr and nurse Deb from the Anesthesia Department. Dr Jones arrived went over what he was going to do while marking my hand in preparation for surgery. I was then rolled into the OR and introduced to the OR team. RN Deb administered the injection that put me under while Dr Jones did his professional procedure. When I woke up I was rolled into recovery and met by RN Barb. She explained the procedure for checking out and instructions while at home. I was then taken by wheelchair to exit and met by my wife. I was very happy to have the afore mentioned professionals as a part of my experience. Thank you very much. John R Farley

I normally don't share reviews but I could not have been more pleased with my experience here. Everyone from Dannell checking us in at the front desk, the pre-operative, operative & post operative staff - absolutely everyone we interacted with was pleasant, took time to answer questions, always asked who I was, what procedure was being done, which body part/side, etc. I've never had surgery before so I went in extremely nervous but left feeling like we'd been taken care of. Hopefully I won't need to visit again but if I do, I'd go back here every time.

I have no complaints about the actual services I received (ear tubes). However, I was overcharged for the procedure by almost $2,000. Resolving this was a nightmare that took many hours across a two month timeframe. After countless phonecalls and emails, Bryn Mawr Surgery Center and their third party Patient Billing service finally admitted they made a mistake and corrected it. I asked for a further discount out of consideration for the many hours of my time that they wasted with their mistake, but to no avail. Good medical service, but it may cost you in other ways.

I had surgery on Friday morning and I have to say as terrified as I was, the staff was absolutely amazing! My surgeon Dr Hammoud has taken such good care of me since I first met her. She has listened to my concerns and talked about every step she could possibly do. When I arrived the young lady at the front desk was super welcoming and sweet. She then walked me back to Danell who is an absolute wonderful person who made everything nice and easy to get registered in. I was then called back by Kristin who is a phenomenal nurse. She explained things to me, joked with me since that is my best coping mechanism when I am nervous and she made sure I was comfortable and relaxed. I also had the pleasure of meeting Mary who was also amazing and kept me calm and at ease. This has been the best experience I have ever had. My recovery nurse Steve was also amazing with me as well. He made sure I stayed alert, had something to drink and stayed with me until he had to wheel me down. Helped me to the bathroom and everything. He took his time and didn't rush me out of there. He explained my discharge instructions to me and then again to my husband when he wheeled me outside. From beginning to end they handled things in such a professional and caring way. Thank you guys!
