Local anesthesia numbs the area of the body that is receiving the procedure. Regional anesthesia numbs a large area of the body and are primarily delivered through epidural or spinal anesthesia.

Advanced Procedure Minimizes Risks

Mount Nittany Surgical Center offers a news surgical technology, balloon sinusplasty, which allows the sinus to be opened by placing a small, flexible balloon into the blocked pathway. Once in place, the balloon is inflated, gently opening the sinus pathway, helping to restore function and normal sinus drainage, then deflated and removed alleviating sinus pressure and discomfort for the patient.

Using a state-of-the-art Storz Millennium Microsurgical System, the Surgical Center offers one of the latest, most popular procedures in ophthalmology today -- phacoemulsification. Phacoemulsification, or phaco for short, uses ultrasonic vibrations to liquefy the inner-ocular lens, which is then removed with a suction tube.

Compared to traditional surgery, phaco is a highly accurate procedure that reduces trauma to the eye -- producing amazing results with virtually no pain.

One of the latest, most advanced methods in the fight against prostate cancer, brachytherapy is an internal radiation treatment delivered by placing radioactive material (seeds) directly into a tumor or close to it. Compared to traditional methods involving repeated treatments of external radiation therapy, the one-time procedure allows a high dose of radiation to attack the cancer while minimizing damage to surrounding organs and tissues. Patients experience relatively little pain and can go home the same day.
