The lumbar is composed of 5 vertebrae in the lower part of the spine. With aging or developmental conditions, the spinal canal in this region can narrow, compressing the nerves traveling into the lower back and legs. This condition is known as lumbar spinal stenosis. Symptoms may include cramping in the calves when walking, pain shooting into the thighs and legs, sometimes called sciatica; and weakness, numbness or pain in the buttocks, legs and calves.

Treatment using non-surgical methods is usually the first approach. Surgery may be recommended if there is progressively severe pain or the numbness and weakness accelerate. There are different surgery options with the surgeon determining which is most appropriate for the condition. Minimally-invasive surgery, conducted on an outpatient basis, can be effectively used for some patients to decompress areas of the stenosis, relieving the pain caused by the pinched nerves.

A cystoscopy is a procedure to look at the health of the urethra and bladder. Sometimes called “a bladder scope,” it uses a hollow tube with a lens at one end which is inserted into the urethra and bladder to check for growths, polyps, strictures (abnormal areas of narrowing) or other problems. It can also be used to diagnose bladder conditions or an enlarged prostate, or to treat bladder diseases as small tumors can also be removed during the procedure.

The type of cystoscopy used depends on the reason. The procedure may be conducted in an outpatient center with sedation.

Rotator cuff tears are often painful and potentially disabling conditions. Discomfort usually occurs with overhead motion and may also exist during normal activities or be so severe that it interferes with sleep. Rotator cuff tears may result from traumatic injury or from wear and tear over time. Treatments can vary widely depending upon the severity.

Shoulder arthroscopy is often a highly-beneficial procedure, both for diagnosing and repairing rotator cuff tears. This minimally-invasive surgery involves making tiny incisions in the shoulder and inserting a thin tube with a camera. This allows the surgeon to see the inside of the joint on a television monitor. After a diagnosis is made, small surgical tools are used to make whatever repairs are necessary. The procedure can be completed with a minimum of discomfort and without the need for a hospital stay.

What is an EGD?
An esophagogastroduodenoscopy is a test that a doctor uses to examine the esophagus, stomach and duodenum (the first section of the small intestine). It can be conducted as an outpatient in a surgery center using an endoscope: a thin flexible tube with a small light and video camera.

The procedure is used to evaluate and treat some types of digestive disorders or to investigate symptoms including abdominal pain, heartburn, difficulty swallowing, persistent nausea or vomiting, blood in the stool, unexplained weight loss or anemia.

It is also used to remove foreign objects or to treat other gastrointestinal issues which have required surgery in the past. The procedure usually takes about 30 to 60 minutes to perform, there is minimal discomfort and patients go home later the same day.

Many types of spinal surgery can be conducted on an outpatient basis using minimally-invasive procedures. There are a number of benefits as compared to traditional surgery. These include a much smaller incision, which reduces damage to muscles and tissue, less blood loss and pain, a generally lower risk of complications, and a shortened time for recovery at home. The Surgery Center has been recognized with the Gold Seal of Approval for spinal surgery, awarded by The Joint Commission, the nation’s leading health care accreditation organization. The Center is one of only two medical facilities in Alaska holding this certification.

The Surgery Center of Fairbanks was recently featured in the national Outpatient Surgery Magazine, in, “Three Keys for Keeping Patients Happy.” The article focuses on the new patient communication and engagement tool being used at The Surgery Center to simplify pre-surgery information and arrangements for patients. This is especially crucial for patients and families during COVID and to streamline advance coordination steps for those traveling from rural communities to Fairbanks for surgery.
