Surgery

Surgery is a branch of medicine that involves treating diseases or injuries by adjusting or removing organs, tissues or bones. Surgery includes both necessary procedures, like cardiac surgery, or elective procedures, such as joint replacement.

Joint replacement surgery

Joint replacement surgery can help restore range of motion and eliminate pain associated with your hip, knee and shoulder. When joint pain and immobility cannot be relieved through nonsurgical options, your doctor may recommend a joint replacement procedure.

Our orthopedic surgeons use the latest advancements in surgical technology and techniques to perform hip, knee and shoulder replacement.

Neurosurgery

Our board-certified neurosurgeons use minimally invasive techniques to treat back and neck issues when more conservative treatment methods are ineffective. This type of surgery may be helpful for many conditions, such as bone spurs, tumor removal or slipped discs.

Physical therapy and rehabilitation

Depending on your surgery, you may benefit from physical rehabilitation. Although everyone recovers differently, our licensed therapists will support your transition to good health and well-being. We offer inpatient therapy services and customized physical rehabilitation plans to meet your needs.

Robot-assisted surgery

The robotic surgery system at our hospital continues to lead the way in minimally invasive surgical technology. Our surgeons use robotics for spinal, urologic, gynecological and general surgery procedures. During robot-assisted surgery, surgeons perform complex procedures through tiny incisions. Benefits of robotic surgery include:

  • Faster recovery times
  • Less pain
  • Minimal scarring
  • Shorter hospital stays

Weight loss surgery

Our bariatric surgeons have experience helping you lose weight through nonsurgical and surgical methods. Many of our weight loss surgery options include minimally invasive approaches. We provide full-spectrum care, starting with the initial evaluation and continuing through crafting a treatment plan, surgery and postsurgical support.
