A few of the top procedures performed at Durango Outpatient Surgery Center include:
- Hemorrhoidectomy: Hemorrhoidectomy is a procedure to remove hemorrhoids (also known as piles). This surgery is usually done as an outpatient procedure, meaning you can go home the same day. It is a safe and effective way to get rid of hemorrhoids. The recovery time is usually short, and you can expect to feel better within a few days.
- Fistulotomy: Fistulotomy is a surgical procedure to treat an abnormal connection between two organs or vessels. The procedure is performed by making an incision in the Fistula and then dividing the tissue that is holding the Fistula open. This allows the Fistula to heal naturally.
- Sphincterotomy: Sphincterotomy is a surgical procedure that is used to treat anal fissures. Sphincterotomy involves cutting the sphincter muscle to relieve tension and pressure on the anal canal. This can help to heal existing fissures and prevent new ones from forming.
- THD: THD, or Transanal hemorrhoidal dearterialization, is a minimally invasive surgical procedure that is used to treat hemorrhoids. The procedure is performed through the mouth, using a special scope to visualize the hemorrhoids.
