Our Procedures

Our team of specialists works hard to make each and every patient feel at ease and comfortable.

You will discover the high degree of technical expertise and experience of our team when you visit Ocean Springs Surgical & Endoscopy Center. You may be assured that the latest features are included in our spacious operating rooms, from central medical gas and vacuum systems to monitors and state-of-the-art surgical and anesthesia equipment. Our Endoscopy Center features the latest endoscopes and video systems to help your physician view and evaluate the G. I. tract.

All of our recovery room beds are monitored with the latest non-invasive cardiac, blood pressure and oxygen monitors. These monitors help ensure that our nurses have up-to-the-minute data when you are in recovery following your procedure. When you have recovered sufficiently from anesthesia, you will be assisted to a comfortable recliner where your IV is removed, and you may be offered something to eat or drink. Here you will also receive detailed instructions before you are discharged. A family member or friend is invited to join you at this time.

If you are suffering from chronic pain, our pain management specialists can provide comprehensive evaluation, diagnosis, and treatment. Patients are referred by physicians.

Cataract Surgery

Cataract surgery is a safe and effective way to restore vision. It is done on an outpatient basis and only requires a short recovery period.

Cervical, Thoracic and Lumbar Treatments

When back pain won’t go away, your doctor may include injections to ease your back pain and inflammation. These shots usually consist of a steroid and a local anesthetic.

Colon Cancer Screening Options

Colorectal cancer (CRC) is common—even in people who have no history of the disease in their family. In many cases, CRC does not cause bleeding or other symptoms until it is in a late stage that is difficult to cure. For these reasons, prevention is key.

Endoscopic Sinus Surgery

Endoscopic sinus surgery can be used to treat a variety of sinus blockage problems. This procedure is used to treat sinusitis; remove polyps that are blocking the sinus cavity; enlarge holes that sinuses drain through; remove the walls between the sinuses to make them bigger; create new openings to make it easier for mucus to drain; and straighten a deviated septum, which can obstruct the sinuses.

Epidural Steroid Injection

An epidural steroid injection treats nerve irritation caused by nearby tissues pressing on the nerve. The inflamed nerve root is bathed in steroids, an anti-inflammation medicine, to decrease the irritation of the nerve root that is causing the pain.

Esophageal Dilation

Esophageal dilation provides relief from difficulty swallowing, or dysphagia, by carefully dilating or stretching the wall of the esophagus to allow food to pass.

Facet Joint Injections

Facet Joint Injections are administered both for a therapeutic and diagnostic purpose, and can, as with the epidural steroid injections, be targeted to the cervical, thoracic or lumbar areas.

Flexible Sigmoidoscopy

A sigmoidoscopy is an internal exam of the lower part of the large intestine (colon) using a short, thin, flexible lighted tube.

General Anesthesia

Many major operations are performed under general anesthesia. This means that the patient will be unconscious and have no awareness of the surgical procedure.

Hemorrhoid Procedures

About half of all adults over 50 have hemorrhoids. It used to be that creams and topical treatments were temporary, and surgery to remove them was painful with long recovery times.

IOLs

An intraocular lens, or IOL, is a clear, plastic lens that becomes a permanent part of the eye and requires no care. Based on test results, a surgeon will recommend the best IOL for each individual patient.

Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy - Gallbladder Procedure

Laparoscopic cholecystectomy is a procedure that removes the gallbladder using a laparoscope, which is a thin, lighted tube that lets the doctor see inside your abdomen. The most common way to remove the gallbladder, this procedure is necessary when a patient has stones or inflammation in the gallbladder, causing pain.

Pediatric Anesthesia

We provide specialized and individualized pediatric anesthesia care. Medical procedures on a child may create a great deal of anxiety for both the child and parent.

Sinuplasty

Balloon Sinuplasty is another way to treat patients with chronic sinusitis who have not responded well to medical therapies. This procedure uses a small, flexible balloon catheter to open up blocked sinus passageways.

Skin Flap

Skin flaps are similar to skin grafts, but grafts do not have their own blood supply and rely on the growth of new blood vessels. Skin flaps are more reliable than grafts because they have their own blood supply.

Skin Graft

Skin grafting is a procedure that is used to reconstruct damaged skin tissue or temporarily cover a wound. A portion of skin is surgically removed from one part of the body, called the donor site, and transplanted to the damaged area.

Upper Endoscopy (EGD)

An upper endoscopy, also known as esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD), is a procedure used to determine the cause of gastrointestinal disorders and symptoms including heartburn, the presence of hiatal hernias, the cause of abdominal pain, unexplained anemia, and the cause of swallowing difficulties, upper GI bleeding, and the presence of tumors or ulcers.
