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.
Obstetrics & Gynecology6
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.
Interventional Pain Management6
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.
Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery6
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.
Gastroenterology (GI Surgery)6
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.
Podiatry (Foot & Ankle Surgery)6
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 had surgery on 8/5/25, and I must say that all the staff were simply superb! I was taken care of immediately in the PACU by a remarkedly young-looking RN, I think her name was Nicole? She stated that she had experience in nursing, but I swear that she didn't look a day out of nursing school! Another couple of nurses (Jon- I like his name & Julia) were also kind. The facility was nice and everyone looked like they got along and helped each other, it really warmed my heart!

On July 7th I had surgery for the first time at this center and I was so impressed! You immediately walk into the lobby that is very organized and clean and very quiet. They keep a nice calm vibe in the lobby for everyone who is waiting for their love ones to get out of surgery they also provide a screen where you can see your loved ones time frame. I was checked in by Toney who was so kind and lovely and made me feel so welcomed I have had people check me in for surgeries before who just wanted you to move on but he was so considerate and got to know me a little. I think I only waited in the lobby for 5mins and then 11:50am hit and my nurse was right on time brining me back to get me ready excuse me for not remember her name but she was just such a joy!!! She told me the OR prefers to do the IV in the left arm because of how it's set up but I know my left arm gets really tricky and even the best nurses have struggled. I knew my right hand had the best vein ever and I expressed that to and she immediately heard me out in such a caring and professional manner and chose to believe me and got my IV on the first try!! She also took the time to get to know me and make me feel so stress free and cared for. She made sure I was comfortable in my chair, asked about the lighting was willing to change it, wanted me to be comfy while reading and asked how I would like the door and curtain. These might seem like smalls things but it was very seen by me and she was just such a beautiful person I hope UVA can look back to see who was with me from the start because she deserves to hear this! Fast forward to the overall OR staff and my Surgeon Rhett Willis they were so wonderful! I couldn't have asked for a better team. My anesthesiologist was a rockstar I have never had one come check on me surgery but he did and made sure I felt fine and was given what I needed. My nurse for recovery stayed with me the entire time noticed quickly when I said was sick to my stomach how pale I got believed me and got me the right medications extra fluids and multiple snacks! He also deserves to hear this he is truly an awesome person and was so fun to talk to while waiting to leave and it took me awhile. My blood pressure was having trouble so I had to hang out a little longer but he stayed with me every step of the way and ensured I was back to a healthy stable blood pressure before letting me leave. UVA you have an amazing team there!!

Had cataract and glaucoma surgery scheduled for more than three months which required several other doctor appointments prior to surgery. One of the doctor appointments required a physical which had to be current within 30 days of the surgery. Doctors guidance stated the surgery facility would discuss final details within 2 business days of surgery with patient. Facility did not contact patient so patient called the facility early on 1 business day before surgery and was told surgery could not be confirmed and might not happen. Facility said they would call patient later that day. After waiting 6 hours patient called facility again and was told personnel were meeting to determine status of surgery and would call patient back. 1 hour later facility called patient and said surgery was canceled due to supply issue. Facility could not determine a new surgery date and informed patient to contact their doctor. The patient had previously left a message with their doctor who never called back. IMHO this surgery facility is definitely not a professional organization, is poorly managed and shows little to no regard for their patients.

Very blessed to have had my surgery at this location… blessed! Gentleman up front with ponytail was extremely friendly and gave me plenty of reasons to feel comfortable going in. My nurse was stellar. Energetic, funny, relatable and efficient. Loved her and also felt blessed to have her. I assumed I would have two maybe three people in the room with me during surgery but there was actually 6-7 people initially. Every single person played there roll in getting me my nerve block taken care of. There was slight discomfort getting that taken care of and all I remember is the comfort and having a nurse talk to me and tell me I was doing okay and then another one rubbing my shoulder and patting me constantly to comfort me. That meant a lot to me. And my surgical Dr…. Dr. Waltz. I appreciate her so much. Again I was blessed to end up in her arms. She didn’t rush and was thorough with my surgery. So many incredible things to say about Dr Waltz and UVA Health Surgical Care Riverside. This is the place to be for your surgery needs.
