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.

Endoscopy suite
We also offer an endoscopy suite to help diagnose and treat gastrointestinal conditions, such as heartburn and acid reflux. An endoscope is a long, flexible tube with a camera attached to the end that allows doctors to view the digestive tract and detect any issues. An endoscopy can also be used for a biopsy or during surgery.
Robotic surgery
We offer robotic surgery for a wide range of procedures at our hospital. Robotic surgery allows your surgeon to only make small incisions and use small instruments to perform an operation. This allows your surgeon to have better visualization and precision.
Robotic surgery is associated with many benefits for patients, including:
- Less blood loss
- Less need for blood transfusions
- Less pain
- Quicker recovery times
- Shorter hospital stays
Robotic heart surgery
As an alternative to traditional open-heart surgery, our Heart Center offers minimally invasive and robotic heart surgery options. It involves no trauma to the breastbone, making it a better option for many patients.
Robotic gynecologic surgery
We use advanced technology to provide minimally invasive gynecologic procedures to meet your needs.
Hysterectomy
If your doctor recommends a hysterectomy, you may be a candidate for a robotic hysterectomy. During this procedure, the uterus is removed using only small incisions to treat conditions such as endometriosis or uterine cancer.
Myomectomy
A myomectomy is an alternative to a hysterectomy used to remove uterine fibroids to preserve the uterus. It is ideal for women with this condition who may wish to become pregnant in the future.
Sacrocolpopexy
In this procedure, surgical mesh is used to hold the vagina in the correct anatomical position. Sacrocolpopexy is a procedure that treats vaginal vault prolapse. It can also be performed following a hysterectomy to treat uterine prolapse and provide long-term support for the vagina.
