Surgery

Above all, our specialists prioritize your comfort and well-being during what we know can be a challenging experience. We offer a variety of surgical specialties, including:

• Bariatric surgery— If you've been unable to lose weight through nonsurgical means, and your body mass index (BMI) is 35 or greater, bariatric surgery may be a viable option for you.
• Chiari malformation surgery — Our surgeons perform this complex procedure to relieve pressure and pain caused by Chiari malformation, which is a condition that causes part of your brain to move into your spinal canal.
• Colorectal surgery — Colorectal surgery is performed to treat conditions and disorders of the rectum, anus and colon, such as rectal cancer.
• Gastrointestinal (GI) surgery — This procedure is performed to treat various GI disorders, such as gallbladder disease, colorectal cancer, tumors, inflammation and gastroesophageal reflux disease.
• Gynecological surgery — Our comprehensive women's care services include endometriosis surgery, hysterectomies, myomectomies and sacrocolpopexy.
• Neurosurgery — We offer access to advanced neurological surgery options. Our neurosurgeons can treat a wide range of conditions, including brain tumors, craniofacial abnormalities and spinal disorders.
• Orthopedic surgery — If you have a joint or spine condition, orthopedic surgery may be necessary. We offer advanced robot-assisted surgery for total knee, partial knee and total hip replacement procedures.
• Spine surgery — If you are experiencing limiting or painful spinal conditions, we offer groundbreaking augmented reality (AR)-guided spine surgery.
• Urologic surgery — Our urology program specializes in outpatient procedures to treat conditions affecting the urinary system and the male reproductive system. Many of our procedures are performed using robot-assisted surgery.

If your child needs surgery, we want you and your family to feel informed and supported before, during and after the procedure. We offer many pediatric surgical services at our dedicated hospital for children.

Our medical team uses robot-assisted techniques whenever possible. This minimally invasive approach has many potential advantages, such as shorter hospital stays, less post-operative pain, reduction in scarring and a quicker return to daily life. Some of the surgeries our specialists perform include:

• Balloon sinuplasty — This minimally invasive technology is designed to relieve pain and pressure associated with chronic sinus inflammation. Balloon sinuplasty is less invasive than conventional sinus surgery, potentially allowing your child to quickly return to their normal activities.
• Heart surgery — Our pediatric cardiology program is designed to treat various congenital heart conditions, including those affecting blood flow to the lungs.
• Ureteral reimplantation surgery — This surgical treatment is used to address reflux, which occurs when urine from the bladder flows back up into the kidneys.
