Interventional radiology

Interventional radiology refers to a minimally invasive procedure used to diagnose and treat a wide range of diseases and conditions. During an interventional radiology procedure, an interventional radiologist guides a thin wire through an artery to the part of the body requiring attention.

There is a small camera attached to the wire, which helps the interventional radiologist guide the wire carefully and obtain a clear view of arteries and structures within the body.

Minimally invasive surgery

Minimally invasive surgery refers to an operation that can be completed with fewer and smaller incisions than traditional surgery, which allows you to heal faster.

While considered a safer and less risky alternative to open surgery, some minimally invasive surgeries, such as abdominal procedures, do require general anesthesia. However, since we use local anesthesia and small incisions, less general anesthesia is required.

Advanced robot-assisted surgery

Our doctors use advanced technology to improve your quality of life with minimal interruption. That is why our hospital was the first in the North Denver area to offer robotic surgery.

Robotic technology requires only a few small incisions, which leads to numerous benefits. These benefits include less scarring, a quicker recovery and a shorter hospital stay.

  • Acid reflux surgery (gastroesophageal reflux disease surgery)

Depending on your procedure, our rehabilitation specialists may meet with you to provide physical therapy to speed up your recovery, and our occupational therapists may help you practice daily tasks.
