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.

Really had a great experience at the center. Everyone was extremely nice and friendly. All of them walked me through the process of the surgery and made me feel like I was an actual patient instead of just a number to hurry up and get out the door to move on to the next patient.

The staff in the surgery center are great. I’m sure they don’t get the acknowledgment they deserve. It’s a team effort and the surgeon is as good as his support staff. Blessings to you all.

I had arthroscopic surgery on my right knee performed by Dr. Martin. After nearly 8 months of pain, I woke up pain free! My experience at the BRSC was excellent. Dr. Cavenaugh administered anesthesia with expertise that was incomparable. Every aspect of my experience was first rate. I highly recommend anyone with an orthopedic problem requiring surgery try to find this facility.

The surgery center was great. All of the staff are professional and friendly. They all work to make you comfortable. Dr McCallum is fantastic. A week after my surgery my stitches were removed and my knee examined. He gave me directions for exercising to build my strength back and to ensure my knee healed appropriately. My overall experience has been great.

For such a small facility, my expectations and my experience were wonderful. The front desk lady was so kind and made sure that I was comfortable and helped keep me calm. The nurses were lovely and very attentative. Out of all the surgeries I have had. Blue Ridge Surgery Center was by far the best surgery experience I have ever had. Keep up the great work ladies and gentlemen. I appreciate each and every one of you.
