The Ramapo Valley Surgical Center has state-of the art technology allowing our surgeons to
perform minimally-invasive procedures.
Ear, Nose & Throat
Traditionally, tonsils and adenoids are removed
by cutting or burning, which can cause extensive
pain and damage to surrounding healthy tissue. At
the Ramapo Valley Surgical Center, we offer
Coblation, an advanced technology
using radiofrequency energy. Because
traditional procedures use high levels of heat to
remove the tonsils and adenoids, damage to
surrounding healthy tissue is common, resulting in a
protracted period of recovery. Coblation does not remove the tonsils or adenoids by
heating or burning, leaving the healthy tissue
surrounding the tonsils unaffected. This
results in significantly reduced postoperative pain
and a quicker return to normal activity.
Ophthalmology
Our ophthalmic surgeons specialize in the latest surgical techniques. These
include topical anesthesia, no-stitch cataract surgery, refractive
and astigmatic procedures, laser, and the use of the latest, state of the
art intraocular lens implants including wavefront
and bifocal technology.
Orthopedics
The orthopedic surgeons at Ramapo Valley Surgical Center perform the majority of their
surgeries using arthroscopic or minimally invasive techniques. They also utilize the
latest technology for their procedures including radiofrequency ablation and absorbable
fixation devices (used for tendon repairs and ligament reconstructions). There are
significant advantages of absorbable screws and anchors over traditional metal implants. Absorbable devices dissolve with time, making them less likely to cause hardware-related
pain and will not interfere with subsequent imaging studies such as MRI. This ultimately
leads to decreased postoperative discomfort and a faster return to normal function.
