EFFINGHAM AMBULATORY SURGERY CENTER has announced it will now offer the iStent inject® Trabecular Micro-Bypass System. Implanted at the time of cataract surgery, iStent inject is clinically proven to reduce eye pressure in adult patients with both cataracts and mild-to-moderate primary open-angle glaucoma.1
“This is an exciting option for every cataract patient in our community that is living with glaucoma,” said Dr Joe Spraul.
A cataract is a clouding of the eye’s lens. This is an area that is normally clear. As this clouding happens, it keeps light rays from passing through the lens and focusing on the retina.
What is bunion surgery?
Bunion surgery is done to reduce the pain and correct the deformity caused by a bunion. This is a surgery performed at EASC. A bunion (hallux valgus) is a deformity of the bone or tissue around the joint at the base of the big toe or at the base of the little toe.
It takes a special kind of surgical technique and recovery program to completely reconstruct damaged joints
Two of the most brittle parts of the human body are bones and the joints that connect them together.
Ambulatory surgery centers (ASC) are unique medical branches. This independent medical facility is comprised of highly trained physicians that specialize in a variety of outpatient surgical procedures. What this means is that this is not your traditional same-day surgical service.
When you hear the term “steroid shot,” what registers in your mind? Chances are that you may not immediately recognize this as a pain management service. On the contrary, this is a very effective way to help those suffering from chronic pain and inflammation.
Ambulatory surgery centers (ASCs), also knowns as outpatient surgery centers, are facilities that offer patients the convenience of having surgeries and procedures performed outside of a hospital setting. Ever since the first ASC was established in 1970, these facilities had made a positive impact in healthcare.
Before our specialists provide the high-quality care, we offer for all our patients, it’s crucial that we have as much background information concerning your medical history as possible.
The longer you wait to try to pinpoint the cause of your chronic pain, the more likely you are to suffer significantly for years to come. The key to pain management and long-term health is to proactively identify the issue and find a remedy.
Patient satisfaction is one of the most important things to consider when operating an ambulatory surgery center (ASC). At Effingham Surgery Center, our goal is always to improve the quality of our care for every patient.
