General Surgery

	View the rest of her story.

For more than 40 years, our patients have understood that we not only care for women, we care about women. That is why, when women need surgery, they choose the place they've come to trust and rely upon for quality health care.

After all, women have unique needs, especially when it comes to their health, and it is only natural that a woman’s first choice would be a hospital that specializes in caring for women.

Some of the most common general surgical procedures performed at Woman’s include:

• Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy (gallbladder removal)
• Laparoscopic Nissen Fundoplication (for gastroesophageal reflux)
• Hernia Repairs
• Colon Resections
• Appendectomy

General surgeons also perform surgery for breast cancer, including breast biopsies, sentinel lymph node biopsy, lumpectomies, and mastectomies.

Inpatient and Outpatient Surgery

Our staff provides care and preparation for inpatient and outpatient surgical procedures.

Our Surgical Care unit has contemporary private rooms, where a caring staff is dedicated to our patients’ needs. After surgery, outpatients return to surgery for recovery and inpatients are admitted to a private room on the 5th floor med/surg patient rooms for extended care.
