Inpatient Procedures
Number of ProceduresHospital MedianState Median-
Appendectomy ?An appendectomy is the surgical removal of the appendix, a small organ located on the lower portion of the small intestine on the right side of the body. This is most commonly a laparoscopic surgery. A laparoscopic surgery is a method of surgery that uses instruments inserted through small incisions. These types of surgeries are considered minimally invasive, because they do not require a large open incision. This results in less overall damage to the body, decreased healing times, reduced pain and a lower risk of infection. Appendectomies are performed in the inpatient setting when the patient's condition requires additional monitoring or recovery time.
-
Bowel Removal ?Bowel removal surgeries, also known as colorectal resection, are procedures to remove portions of the colon or large intestine due to disease. The most common reason is colon cancer.
-
Brain Excision ?A brain excision, or brainlobectomy, is a procedure to remove all or part of a brain structure due to disease or injury. The most common reason is for treatment of seizures or epilepsy. In some cases, the procedure can be used in traumatic head injuries to increase the chance of improved recovery.
-
Central Line ?A central venous catheter or central line is a procedure to place a catheter, or thin hollow tube, into a large vein in the body for use in long term therapy such as chemotherapy or dialysis. This is typically done in the chest, neck or upper thigh. Central lines are placed to treat the cause of hospitalization — and in many cases — left in place to facilitate the continuation of treatment in the outpatient setting.
-
Chemotherapy ?Treatment of cancer using specialized drugs
-
Colonoscopy ?A colonoscopy is an examination of the large intestine using an endoscope. An endoscope is a slender device that is inserted into the body and used to examine internal organs by capturing video and displaying it on a monitor for the doctor. It is most commonly performed to screen for cancer. Colonoscopies occur in the inpatient setting when the patient's condition is severe or the patient needs to be monitored for a more extended period of time after the colonoscopy is performed.
-
Coronary Bypass ?Coronary artery bypass surgery is a procedure used to perform a bypass of one or many coronary arteries of the heart that are blocked. This is performed by diverting the existing artery, or by harvesting a vein out of the patient’s leg and attaching it to the blocked artery to create a bypass. This procedure is most often an open-heart surgery requiring a stay of four to five days in the hospital.
-
Gallbladder Removal ?Gallbladder surgery is the surgical removal of the gallbladder. This is most commonly due to the presence of hard mineral deposits in the gallbladder known as gall stones. Like appendectomies, gallbladder surgery is most often performed as a laparoscopic surgery. Gallbladder surgery is performed in the inpatient setting when the patient's condition requires additional monitoring or recovery time.
-
Heart Catheterization ?Heart catheterization is the use of thin hollow tubes, or catheters, to examine the inside of the heart and blood vessels around the heart. Heart catheters may also be used to inject dye for use in imaging, or to collect samples of heart muscle. Heart catheters are inserted into the large veins in the leg, arm or neck and threaded through the blood vessels toward the heart. Doctors observe the advancement of the catheter using a special x-ray camera called a fluoroscope.
-
Heart Valve Replacement ?Heart valve replacement surgery is a procedure to replace or repair one of the four valves in the heart that control the flow of blood. Heart valve surgery is an open-heart procedure that requires an extended hospital stay. During this procedure, the patient is attached to a heart-lung machine, which continues to cycle blood and oxygen though the patient. The heart is then stopped with a process called cardioplegia, allowing the replacement to be performed on a still, unbeating, heart.
-
Hernia Repair ?Hernia surgery is a procedure to repair a hernia in the body. A hernia is created when an organ pushes through the wall of the body cavity that normally holds it in place. Hernias most commonly occur in the abdomen, with portions of the bowel pushing through the muscle wall. Hernia repairs are performed in the inpatient setting when the patient's condition requires additional monitoring or recovery time.
-
Hip Replacement ?Hip replacement surgery is a procedure in which the hip joint is replaced with an artificial implant. Most commonly the head of the femur — the bone in the thigh — is removed and replaced with an artificial one, usually made from titanium. The hip socket is also replaced with an artificial cup, generally made of special plastics. These surgeries are complicated and lengthy and typically require a two-to three-day hospital stay.
-
Hysterectomy ?A hysterectomy is the surgical removal of the uterus and in some cases, the ovaries as well. Hysterectomies are most commonly performed to treat uterine fibroids — noncancerous tumors that grow in the muscles of the uterus. A hysterectomy is performed in the inpatient setting when the patient's condition requires extra monitoring or recovery time.
-
Kidney Removal ?Kidney removal surgery is a procedure to remove a kidney. A kidney is removed when it becomes diseased and no longer functions as needed. This is most commonly due to cancer or chronic kidney disease.
-
Knee Replacement ?Knee replacement surgery is a procedure to replace knee joints with artificial implants. The bottom portion of the femur — the bone in the thigh — and the top portion of the tibia — the bone in the lower leg — are replaced with metal implants. These surgeries require large incisions and are complicated and lengthy, typically requiring a two - to three - day hospital stay.
-
ORIF ?Open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) is a procedure to repair a bone fracture using surgery. Plates and screws are used to align and secure broken and displaced bones. Like closed reduction and internal fixation (CRIF) procedures reported earlier, ORIF surgeries occur in the inpatient setting as a part of care related to larger trauma events, such as a car accident. However, ORIF surgeries are used for more severe fractures that cannot be aligned using CRIF procedures.
-
PTCA ?Percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA) is a procedure to open up narrowed coronary arteries by inflating a small balloon inside the artery. This is a specific type of heart catheterization performed in the inpatient setting. The act of opening the blocked artery often results in some damage to the vessel and requires the patient to be monitored for a day or two. In some cases, PTCA is used as an immediate treatment to patients experiencing a heart attack. PTCA is used as an alternative to coronary bypass surgery.
-
Spinal Fusion ?Spinal fusion is a procedure used to permanently join two or more vertebrae in the spine together using bone grafts. Strips of bone are removed from the patient's pelvis and used to form a bridge across two vertebrae. When the grafts heal, the result is a permanent fusion of the bones. Spinal fusion is used in cases of spinal instability either due to injury or disease that degenerates the discs in the back.
-
Spinal Tap ?A spinal tap, also called a lumbar puncture, is a procedure to extract fluid from around the spinal cord using a needle placed in between the vertebrae in the spine. The extracted fluid is used to diagnose diseases, such as meningitis. If there is blood in the fluid, it may indicate there is bleeding in the brain.
-
Thoracentesis ?Thoracentesis is the removal of liquid that has accumulated in the pleural space – the cavity surrounding the lungs. This is done by introducing a hollow needle into the pleural space, commonly using ultrasound guidance. Liquid accumulating in this space is known as a pleural effusion, and the most common causes are cancer, congestive heart failure, pneumonia, or a recent surgery.
-
Upper Endoscopy ?An upper endoscopy is a surgical examination of the stomach or small intestines using an endoscope. An endoscope is a slender device that is inserted into the mouth or nose and down the throat to examine internal organs by capturing video and displaying it on a monitor for the doctor. An upperendoscopy is performed in the inpatient setting when a patient's condition requires additional monitoring or recovery time.
-
Wound Debridement ?Wound debridement is the surgical removal of dead, damaged, or infected tissue to improve the healing potential of the remaining healthy tissue.
