Surgery

Whenever possible, our surgeons operate in a way that reduces the impact of surgery on the body. This type of surgery is called minimally invasive surgery. During minimally invasive surgery, your doctor only needs to make a few small incisions and uses small, specialized tools.

Benefits of minimally invasive surgery include:

• Decreased pain
• Faster recovery
• More precision
• Shorter hospital stay

Robot-assisted surgery

Robotic surgery offers extreme precision, allowing the surgeon to perform complex procedures within the body, with minimal damage to surrounding tissues.

Our surgeons perform various types of robotic procedures including: colorectal, gynecological, general, thoracic, urologic and bariatric. We have additional robotic platforms for orthopedic and spine surgeries.

Robotic knee surgery

Getting the best fit and placement is so important for your knee replacement surgery. We offer advanced robot-assisted knee surgery that begins by taking computerized tomography (CT) scans to create a 3D virtual model of your knee. The model helps your doctor create a preoperative plan that is just right for your specific anatomy, disease and alignment. The robotic arm then helps ensure the accuracy of bone removal during surgery to achieve optimal results.

Robotic spine surgery

Robotic spine surgery is designed to improve accuracy in this delicate area of the body. Surgeons combine robotics with navigation to enhance precision. Using medical imagery imported into the system, your surgeon creates a plan for the size and placement of surgical implants based on your specific anatomy. This plan then helps guide the robotic arm like a GPS system, allowing the surgeon to accurately place screws during the surgery.

Robotic bariatric surgery

Robotic-assisted bariatric surgery enhances your surgeon’s ability to perform highly sophisticated and precise maneuvers. The technology translates every movement your surgeon makes in real-time, with the system bending and rotating instruments that move like a human hand but with a much greater range of motion. Robotic surgery gives 3D high-definition views throughout the surgery, allowing a crystal-clear view of the surgical area that is magnified 10 times what the human eye can see. Robotic surgery is “a new weapon in the fight against obesity” and as such is a critical tool in our center’s use of all state-of-the-art options in the care of our patients.

When it comes to a joint replacement surgery, preparation is key. Time has shown that if you are an active participant in your care and recovery programs often have better outcomes. We provide a total joint presurgical class designed to educate and prepare you for any upcoming surgeries. We will cover what to expect before and after your procedure, as well as plans for your recovery and rehabilitation.

Weight loss surgery, also known as bariatric surgery, is performed on patients with obesity. There are several types of bariatric procedures, but all focus on making modifications to the digestive system with the goal of significant weight loss.

Not everyone is a candidate for weight loss surgery, but we can help you through the process of figuring out if it is right for you. If it is, we offer a comprehensive range of surgeries, including:

• Robotic and laparoscopic bariatric surgery
• Gastric bypass surgery
• One Anastomosis Gastric Bypass or Mini gastric bypass
• Gastric sleeve surgery
• Duodenal switch
• Anti-reflux surgery
• Bariatric revisions

We want to make your stay with us as smooth and easy as possible. If your doctor has prescribed medication for you to take after your surgery, you may order your medications from our outpatient pharmacy and our team will deliver your order to your room prior to discharge.

We hope this service makes your transition home easier and more convenient.
