This is a busy surgical practice, with a growing abdominal wall reconstruction service. The expectation for the PA or NP to become comfortable with office-based minor procedures and possibly assist in the OR on occasion including Robotic cases.The group consists of 3 community surgeons. The APC will have graduated responsibilities for patient assessment and minor procedures, starting with supervision by attending surgeons. The APC will be expected to progress to independent evaluation and development of treatment plans, as well as independent performance of defined office-based minor surgical procedures. The common problems that the APC can be expected to manage independently include the evaluation of: abdominal pain, hernia, benign ano-rectal conditions, skin and subcutaneous lesions, and lower extremity venous insufficiency. Common office procedures include wound care, excision of benign skin and subcutaneous lesions, image-guided aspirations, removal of implanted vascular access devices, band ligation of hemorrhoids, and sclerotherapy of varicose veins.
