Surgical Services

We offer a wide range of surgical procedures – from the most complex open heart operations to minimally invasive procedures that don’t even require an overnight stay in the hospital. Our large Surgical Services Department includes special rooms dedicated just to heart surgeries and orthopedic procedures. In addition, a state-of-the-art daVinci® Robotic Surgery System is used in some cardiac, urological and gynecological procedures.

Minimally Invasive Procedures
Thanks to breakthroughs in medical technology, many surgeries that once involved major operations can now be performed through tiny incisions. In these operations, surgeons use instruments guided by miniature cameras. As a result, patients usually heal faster, experience less scarring and can return to their normal activities more quickly. Some of our surgery suites are specifically designed for these procedures.

Outpatient Surgery
New technologies also enable surgeons to perform many operations on an outpatient basis. These procedures minimize surgical trauma and the time needed for recovery, so you can return to the comfort of your home on the same day as surgery.
