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 — 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.
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.
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.
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.

EDIT: I want to make sure any potential customers know what they’re getting in to. Please take time look at the most recent reviews. They add comments to any negative reviews saying they want to know about what went wrong. But here’s the thing they knew I was upset about my treatment as I left. Instead of calling me to follow up I got a generic response to my concerns. I was told I didn’t have an infection and there was nothing more to be done. I told the dr I was feeling ignored I told her I can tell something isn’t right. Wanted to update as I’m at my second opinion appointment. I was right!!!!! The dr ignored me, ignored my concerns and this practice does NOT care to follow up or help people. Everything they do is to save face. STAY AWAY THEY WILL NOT LISTEN TO YOUR CONCERNS. Felt extremely ignored. When I brought my concerns Up to the dr that I felt ignored because of my weight I was told I wasn’t even allowed to say that. I was told I have no infection but they refused to do any blood work despite the fact that days ago my white blood count was elevated. They asked me questions put the information in to a computer and told me I was low risk so there was nothing to check or do. When I told the dr I was in pain she said “if you have boobs I expect You to be in pain” I wish I had read the reviews before I came because it’s seems like a lot of people in the past few months have had issues.

Friendly heads up to avoid this location. I was sent here in Dec 2024 where my results were incorrectly read thus delaying medical treatment. I called the office to just let them know. I was not even expecting an apology; I just wanted them to be aware so it doesn't happen to anyone else. I was met with rudeness and being told I'm wrong (my test was eventually read correctly by other physicians and I reached the accurate diagnosis since). It wasn't a big deal initially. Everyone makes mistakes. However, you will never be able to trust a doctor or practice who is unwilling to live up to their mistakes (and their medical malpractice).

Dr. Pastoressa and the staff at leader surgical are top notch. Had my gallbladder out two weeks ago, it was my first surgery, and it went very well. Staff was kind and thorough. Dr. Pastoressa listened to me and was efficient and thorough. Two weeks out of surgery and I feel like I have my life back. I did not realize just how terrible I had been feeling prior to surgery until all the pain and discomfort were gone. I feel renewed and am so excited to get back to the things I love doing. So grateful for a wonderful surgeon!

Avoid this practice at all costs. Dr. Nicholson performed a surgery on me and the aftercare from the organization was atrocious. I had at least four follow-up in office appointments complaining about pain and was told “you will be fine in a week. Im your biggest cheerleader” by Dr. Nicholson. A week later I was at Wellspan York hospital for a life saving surgery after they found an infection. Had Leader Surgical heard my concerns, they could have done blood work and found infection. Instead, the only thing they cared about was the potential being sued. Dr. Nicholson should not have a license. I suffered for two months with no life because of that man and the NP Jesse Thomaz. They took an oath and they failed me. I hope at least one person reads this and goes to another facility.

I have never had as bad of an experience as I have been having with a surgeon office since my surgery back in July. Get read someone else’s report by the surgeon himself! I was expressing symptoms that started happening after surgery and got brushed off. I expressed as well on the two incisions that they are black underneath get ignored. Come to find out I have an infection! Not from them but Wellspan urgent care.
