We provide specialty and general surgical care for adults and understand that choosing the right place to have your surgery is an important decision. Our care team is ready to provide the surgical care you need—from answering your questions before surgery, to using advanced surgical techniques and creating a personalized recovery plan.
Minimally-invasive techniques to help your recovery
Surgeons at Ascension River District General Surgery have the expertise to perform many types of general surgery and specialty care procedures, including:
- Metabolic and bariatric surgery
- Treatment of hernias
- Treatment of gallbladder disease
- Bowel resection
- Treatment of reflux disease
- Breast surgery
- Stereotactic and ultrasound guided core biopsies
- Surgeries for the treatment of skin conditions
- Endoscopic procedures
When possible, your surgeon may use minimally-invasive techniques and robotic surgery to treat your condition. 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 endocrine surgery, such as thyroid surgery, parathyroid surgery and adrenal surgery.
What to expect during your preoperative evaluation
We coordinate all aspects of your surgical care, answer your questions and provide dietary instructions. Your care team does a preoperative evaluation prior to your surgery. It’s important for you to understand how to prepare for your surgery.
Personalized care that supports your recovery after 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.
