Surgeries at an Ambulatory Center
Hospitals will usually offer every single procedure and treatment under the sun. But, as much as we like ambulatory surgery centers, the truth is, is that they do not do everything that hospitals do. Most of the ambulatory centers do specialized procedures, so it’s a good idea to check out a few before picking one specific one. You will also need to speak to your primary care doctor before setting up an appointment at a frontier healthcare surgery center because you need permission from your doctor. Most of the centers will offer different options, so in order for you to get a better idea of what you can come here for; here are a few procedures and health issues that they can take care of.
General Surgery
General surgery is such a broad spectrum of procedures, but a few of the most common ones that you may be experiencing or may have told you have if you have already visited your healthcare professional, include:
Breast Surgery: Both cosmetic surgery for breast surgery as well as breast cancer patients benefit from breast surgery. In fact, most breast cancer patients are said to have a huge advantage when getting a breast surgery at an ambulatory center versus a hospital and report better physiological adjustments and recover faster.
Port Placement: When a patient is in treatment for cancer, they often time need to access your veins to give you treatments such as blood transfusions or IV fluids. Because of that your doctor may recommend that you get a port placed into your vein.
Hemorrhoidectomy: Millions of people a year have issues with hemorrhoids, but only a few have to actually get a Hemorrhoidectomy. This is a procedure in which severe hemorrhoids are removed because alternative measures failed and the patient is riddled with effects that don’t allow them to live a normal life such as pain, bleeding and swelling. This is a really simple surgery and usually only asks for a scalpel to cut away hemorrhoids. The surgical area is closed up using staples after the hemorrhoids have all been removed.
Open Hernia Repair: Open hernia repair is another very common and very simple surgical procedure. Usually when one is recommended it’s because the hernia is causing paint or various symptoms to the patient. Hernias happen for all sorts of reasons, but seem to be really common in men ages 20-65.
Urology
Urology, also known as genitourinary surgery, is a branch of medicine that primarily deals with the male and female urinary tract system as well as male reproductive organs. These organs include male reproductive glands such as seminal vesicles, prostate and penis. As well as kidneys, ureters, urethra, adrenal glands and urinary bladder.
Sling Surgery: if you have issues with an overactive bladder or urge frequency syndrome, you can get this fixed with a sling surgery. It’s usually a low risk surgery and it can usually be done in one day - which means it’s a perfect candidate for an ambulatory surgery center.
Cystourethroscopies with lithotripsy: Bladder stones can become a huge issue when it comes to your bladder. This can be a very painful experience and happens because of bladder infections, incomplete bladder emptying and urinary stasis. Over time, the urine that is not voided begins to create bacteria which leads to mucus which leads to stones. Another operation procedure which can be done in a day and usually requires little to no recuperation and can be done at an ambulatory surgery center.
Ear Nose and Throat Procedures
If you visited an ear, nose and throat doctor and you were told you need to undergo a surgical procedure, you should be aware that ambulatory centers do offer a variety of ENT procedures and treatments. Some of the most common ones include:
Ear Tube Replacement: This is a procedure that is often done in children that have repeat ear infections or when the fluid stays behind the ear drum. Rather than having to deal with constant ear infections, ear aches and pain, a surgeon would place tubes through a small opening in the ear drum. When in this procedure, the child will most likely be put under general anesthesia.
Nose Fracture Repair: Although a rhinoplasty is something newer that ambulatory centers are offering, it is something that many people go through when their nose is fractured or broken. Broke and fractures bones in the nose can lead to sinus problems, problems breathing, snoring and more so it’s important that it’s taken care of immediately. You can also get a rhinoplasty if you want to change the shape or size of your nose and this is considered cosmetic surgery.
Sinus Surgery: If you have issues with breathing or sinus infections, you could get sinus surgery to help with these issues among other issues that is related to sinus problems such as headaches.
Tonsillectomy: If you have issues with sore throats, bad breath, snoring or even sleep apnea you may need a Tonsillectomy. This is when one or both of your tonsils are removed.
