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.
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.

Dr was great, nurses even decent…however I have had multiple procedures done here and it is NOT my first choice at all. Most recently I went for a procedure that the nurses had called for anesthesia to come place my IV and they were either ignored or when someone came 2hrs later they gave me 8min did NOT bring the ultrasound machine…I’ve not been contacted or issued a refund for services I paid for but did NOT receive. This place and sadly even Swedish sadly I have had the WORST experiences at as they do not seem to care about proper pain control but require you to go there for the procedure, only to not do the pain management in the first place, they should refund my time, gas, parking, most of all though the money spent for services not even received should be returned. They would not even do IM or oral for the procedure because it was “against policy” maybe they need to adjust their policies…

So many people have written about their fantastic Doctors/Surgeons in these reviews. Well, I will too! Dr Matsen Ko was amazing every step of the way with my knee replacement, I would recommend her to anyone and everyone with 100% conviction. I also wanted to make sure that the Seattle Surgery Center was mentioned loudly in a review. From the phone calls leading up to this surgery, to every interaction I had with everyone in this facility, the folks in this establishment were outstanding in every way. Every single interaction I had with employees was professional, competent, and most of all filled with kindness. These operations (in my case knee replacement) will give you some anxiety, the people that work here were extremely good at easing that anxiety. 5 STARS

I had an arthroscopic surgery performed at SSC on Monday, July 8th and I was very favorably impressed with the care I received. The anaesthesiogist took the time to listen to my concerns and did a great job getting a needle into my difficult vein on the first try and with no pain. The folks in recovery were very sweet and supportive. Two years ago I had arthroscopic surgery done at the Swedish Surgery Center and this was a much better experience! I am giving a 5 star rating despite the fact that they had me arrive at 5:45 AM for a 7:00 AM surgery and I sat in the waiting room doing absolutely noting for 30 minutes.

I received rotator cuff surgery less than a week ago at Seattle Surgery. The entire experience exceeded my expectations of excellence. From start to finish, each person treated me as though they really cared and like I mattered. Every single person, from the front desk on thru was so friendly, helpful and very professional.I felt like I was surrounded by caring intelligent professionals. It is with great pleasure and confidence I share my experience with you today. Seattle Surgery can be completely trusted.

My husband has had three surgeries at Seattle Surgery Center and the place is very efficient. I want to give a shout out to a very thoughtful employee in the reception area of the waiting room. My husband's operation was taking a bit longer than expected (the time I was expecting the surgery to be completed per information given to my husband) and she (Nicky or Nikki) took the time and effort to check with the surgical staff and assure me that all was well. She was not the original staff member with whom I had raised this concern, so she really provided me with excellent customer care and even behind the mask, I could tell that she saw me as a concerned wife and fellow human being. She was compassionate with me, and I appreciated her efforts at putting me at ease. Thanks Nicky!
