Below are some of the procedures performed at ACCESS.

Endoscopy Procedures 
 

Upper endoscopy known as EGD, this enables a physician to look inside the esophagus, stomach, and duodenum (first part of the small intestine). The procedure might be used to discover the reason for swallowing difficulties, nausea, vomiting, reflux, bleeding, indigestion, abdominal pain, or chest pain.

Colonoscopy lets the physician look inside your entire large intestine, from the rectum, up through the colon and into the small intestine. The procedure is used to look for early signs of cancer or to diagnose the causes of unexplained changes in bowel habits.

Feeding Tube Placement is necessary when a patient is unable to get the proper nutrition the body needs through normal eating. This may be because of an inability to swallow well or to tolerate solid foods. The feeding tube can also be used to give medicines that are needed but are unable to taken by mouth. By using x-rays, a feeding tube can be passed more quickly and easily into the proper location just beyond the stomach.

Esophageal Dilation allows the doctor to dilate, or stretch, a narrowed area of your esophagus [swallowing tube]. The most common cause of narrowing of the esophagus is scarring of the esophagus from reflux of acid occurring with heartburn.

Other ACCESS Surgery Center Procedures 

Shoulder Arthroscopy is a useful diagnostic and therapeutic procedure that allows direct visualization of the shoulder joint. With an arthroscope, camera, and video equipment the physician can make a definitive diagnosis, as well as correct some chronic shoulder problems without performing major surgery.

Knee Arthroscopy allows an orthopedic surgeon to diagnose and treat knee disorders by providing a clear view of the inside of the knee with small incisions, utilizing a pencil-sized instrument called an arthroscope. During the procedure, the surgeon also can insert surgical instruments through other small incisions in your knee to remove or repair damaged tissues.
