Surgeons at Ascension Medical Group St. Vincent - Kokomo Surgery have the expertise to perform many types of general surgery and specialty care procedures, including biopsy, endoscopy and selective nerve injections. When possible, your surgeon may use a minimally-invasive procedure and robotic-assisted surgical techniques. Ascension St. Vincent Kokomo is the only robotic surgery center in Howard County. When compared to traditional surgery, minimally invasive techniques may lead to smaller incisions, less pain, a lower risk of complications and help shorten your recovery. We have surgeons and anesthesiologists who specialize in:

• Abdominal surgery, such as hernia repair
• Gastrointestinal (GI) surgery, such as appendix removal, gallbladder removal and colon surgery
• Robotic and laparoscopic surgery

Personalized care, before and after surgery

Your care team will coordinate all aspects of your surgical care, answer your questions and provide dietary instructions. You’ll also receive a preoperative evaluation before your surgery and instructions on how to prepare for your surgery.

After your surgery, your recovery care team monitors your oxygen rate, blood pressure, breathing and other vital signs that may be affected by anesthesia or pain medication. When you are ready, your nurse provides home care instructions to you and your caregiver.
