• Endoscopy
  A hiatal hernia can be diagnosed by x-ray or endoscopy. Many people are treated successfully with dietary changes, lifestyle changes and medication. If these fail to control the symptoms, surgery may be recommended.
• Urinary Tract Infection
  First you should have a thermometer to take your temperature. Temperatures in the morning tend to be lower and then they tend to rise in the afternoon and evening. Low-grade temperatures (99-100 F) may occur especially after general anesthesia and when the patient is not taking deep breaths. The reason for not taking deep breaths can be related to abdominal soreness from incisions. Fevers associated with burning with urination may signal a urinary tract infection.

• Ultrasound
  Drainage from the nipple is a common problem. It is divided into bloody drainage and non- bloody drainage. Non-bloody drainage is usually benign and not commonly associated with breast cancer. Bloody drainage has a 10 % risk of being associated with a cancerous process. The most common finding is a small growth within the duct called a papilloma. This causes the discharge. Many times these are removed to treat the discharge and exclude a cancerous growth. Tests that help decide on treatment are mammogram, ultrasound and ductogram. A ductogram involves injecting dye into the milk duct and taking x-rays. Overall, most nipple discharges are not cancerous problems but do need to be evaluated by your doctor to exclude cancer.

Questions regarding their fees should be addressed to the provider of each of those services.

Surgeons

• General Surgery
  Central Carolina Surgery, PA was founded in October of 1999 when Triad Surgical Specialists and Greensboro Surgical Associates joined together to form the sole independent general surgery group in Greensboro, NC.  Our surgeons are all board-certified by the American Board of Surgery and are members of the American College of Surgeons (ACS).   The letters FACS (Fellow, American College of Surgeons) after a surgeon’s name mean that the surgeon’s training, professional qualifications, surgical competence, and ethical conduct meet the high standards established by the College.
• Minimally Invasive Surgery
  When it comes to colorectal disease, Central Carolina Surgery specialty-trained surgeons are experts in the latest techniques, including minimally invasive surgery.

• Laparoscopy
  Surgery usually is performed by way of laparoscopy (multiple small incisions) and involves repairing the weakened hiatus and often performing an anti-reflux procedure. People typically do well as long as they follow the after surgery instructions and make some minor lifestyle changes.

Plastic Surgeons

• Botox
  There are three well-known treatments for achalasia. First, injection of Botox into the LES which leads to temporary relaxation, but does not provide long-term relief. Second, dilating (widening) the LES using endoscopy which may provide long-term relief in some. Third, is cutting part of the lower esophagus muscle which is called a Heller myotomy. This can usually be done laparoscopically (multiple small incisions). This procedure has the best long-term result.
• Breast Surgery
  Studies show that breast surgery scars significantly impact a woman’s psychological and emotional recovery and quality of life after surgery because scars can have a tremendous impact on a woman’s self-confidence, intimacy, and body image.
• Laparoscopic Surgery
  A ventral hernia is a defect in the strong layers of your abdominal wall. This may be a result of congenital defect, as a result of injury, excessive strain, or as a result of prior surgery. This may show up with an abdominal bulge or with abdominal pain. Once you have a hernia, this will not fix itself. Surgery is the only effective treatment for ventral hernia. This can be done with open surgery through a single larger incision or with laparoscopic surgery using several smaller incisions and a camera. Either way, placement of a mesh is often required for repair. Your surgeon will discuss the options with you and customize the treatment to your situation.
• Bariatric Surgery
  Some surgical procedures may not be covered by your insurance company in which case you would be responsible for payment in full prior to surgery.  Currently we do not offer a cash pay program for Bariatric Surgery.
