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.
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.
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 returned to Houston for second knee surgery. The system INOV8 has created is living proof that the medical system could be efficient and completely changed - for the better. Every single person is integrated into the INOV8 process. They know why you are there and you know why they are there. The whole paradigm is unique and extraordinary , in my opinion. The devotion to helping patients instead of just seeing people is at the apex of INOV8. Precision is what defies Dr. Kreuzer and he doesn’t really advertise in a convention sense but yet has thousands seek him out every based on his results and reputation. Remember that old concept? Do yourself a big favor and see Dr Stephan Kreuzer MD. He is the best of the best .

I cannot speak to long term results or efficacy of procedure at this point because I just got home from my full knee replacement at Inov8 but the professionalism, care, willingness to provide detail explanations and all around experience there was nothing I have ever experienced in a medical setting and worthy of an immediate review. As I go through the process of healing and therapy, I will write a review of Dr. Stefan Kreuzer specific to my outcome but I wanted to take a moment to praise the nursing staff and two anesthesiologists I saw today. Absolutely excellent. When going through pre-op process, the one male RN asked me what music was my favorite (80’s alt), I was wheeled into an OR playing early, pre-pop INXS, we briefly discussed Michael Hutchence death from autoerotic asphyxiation, and then all of sudden I was waking up and it was over. I was dreading this day and they all teamed up to eliminate all of my worry and concern. The highest of praise to all of them. The pre-op nurses explained everything in full detail especially the nurse from the Philippines whose name escapes me and Kedeisha, the post-op nurse, who made sure I fully understood what I need to do in the coming days.

At 6 weeks PT recommended I see the doctor. I NEVER got to see Stefan Kuertzer but once. ONLY the PT. Post op I was told. Give it 6 months. Then give it a year. THEN give it 2 years. Not 1 day pain free. I have just been diagnosed with an unstable knee replacement at 2 1/2 years post op by swell know Ortho Houston Hospital! It must be replaced. DO NOT GO

Took my friend for knee surgery at 7:30 am. I was told to wait, the surgery will take two hours with one hour of recovery. It is now 1 pm and he just got out of surgery. You should tell the waiting people about time belays so they can make plans. Very dissatisfied!

I had an anterior hip replacement done this past March 26. My check in time was 7 am for 8:30 surgery schedule. The ladies at the front were very professional, cordial, and efficient . Once I completed my check in process I was called in to the pre surgical area where a nurse helped me changed to a gown and prepared me for surgery. The surgical nurse, anesthesiologist, as well as the surgeon came in prior to me going to the OR. The nurses at PaCU were excellent and took good care of me esp when I felt so nauseous and light headed. The entire staff was very professional and efficient. I give them two thumbs up!!!
