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.
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.
Breast Augmentation / ReductionBreast size is increased by placing implants, or decreased by removing breast tissue and skin and repositioning the remaining tissue. Reduction is often performed to relieve back, neck, and shoulder pain caused by breast weight.RhinoplastySurgery that reshapes the nose by altering the bone and cartilage beneath the skin. It is performed to change appearance, to correct breathing problems caused by internal structure, or both. Swelling takes months to fully resolve.FaceliftLiposuctionFat is suctioned out from beneath the skin through small tubes called cannulas, reshaping a specific area such as the abdomen, flanks, or thighs. It targets localized deposits and is a contouring procedure rather than a method of weight loss.Wound ReconstructionRebuilds skin and underlying tissue where a wound is too large or too damaged to close directly. Surgeons move nearby tissue, or transfer skin and muscle from elsewhere on the body, to cover the defect. Often follows trauma, infection, or cancer removal.Skin GraftingHealthy skin is taken from one area of the body and transplanted to cover a wound or burn elsewhere. Both the graft site and the donor site need care, and the donor site is often the more uncomfortable of the two.
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.

Beware. Run Forrest Run. On Tuesday 11/11/2025, I went to the Memphis Surgery Center for right eye cataract surgery. This is a Baptist owned and managed medical place. Had I known that, I would have gone somewhere else. Baptist knows their horrible reputation and hides the fact they own and manage this medical place. I will say that ALL of the staff were great, nice, professional, top notch, etc. They got the two starts for their staff. Otherwise they would have received Zero Stars. But being a Baptist medical place showed throughout. They did not call me with the times until the afternoon before the surgery day. BUT they called me multiple times and multiple days before surgery wanting payment ASAP. They had me report at 1:00 PM for a 4:45 PM scheduled right eye cataract surgery. Yes we waited almost four hours, two of which were on the bed / stretcher. They would not let my family member go to pre-op with me. They would not let my family member go to post-op with me. They did not communicate with my family member before, during, or after the surgery. They lost three stars being a Baptist medical place, hiding that simple fact, and then acting just like a typical Baptist medical place that only cares about the dollar and profit and not about patients and service. Two weeks ago on Wednesday 10/29/2025, I went to the Methodist Germantown Surgery Center for left eye cataract surgery and they did everything right. They called with the times the morning of two business days before surgery day. They had me report at a very reasonable waiting time at 6:15 AM for 7:45 AM Left Eye Cataract Surgery. They let my family member go to pre-op with me. They let my family member go to post-op with me. They had me out and on the way home a little after 8 AM or so. They had a monitor or two on the walls in the waiting area to communicate with my family member every step of the way. They were first class all of the way. My free advice is to go anywhere else, maybe go to Mexico, instead of any Baptist medical place. Mexico would probably be a better class and level of service than any Baptist medical place. Again, why hide the simple fact you are own and managed by corporate, greedy, “we could care less about patients” Baptist. Because even Baptist knows their own reputation is absolutely horrible.

My Dad's appointment was for 9:45 am. They called him the day before to see if he could come in between 8:15/8:30am because they had a cancelation. We got here at 8:25 am to still be sitting here after 10am with no call for him to go back. This is ridiculous! I could have gotten some work done before his original appointment time. I think the staff is very nice. However, if you have a scheduled appointment there's no way you should have to wait 1.5 hrs before you are even seen. Especially when someone has to wait on you.

The Memphis Surgery Center is top notch. I had surgery there today, 7/7/25. The front desk was polite. She got me checked in quickly and efficiently. When I was called back to the holding room by the sweetest nurse named Kim. A kind, true professional. She went out of her way to make sure I understood every aspect of what was going on. There was another nurse with her who had the same kindness and professionalism. I'm sorry I can remember her name. I spoke to another nurse named Rhonda. She was quick and very nice as well. Both anesthesiologists I spoke to were so sweet and explained everything to me. The one in the OR was Gary. He has a good sense of humor. Finally, Jessie was the nurse who got me ready to leave. She was adorable. So nice and compassionate as I was very nauseated there for a few minutes and she did everything she could to give me relief. I was treated very well and I would highly recommend this center.
