Minimally-invasive techniques to help your recovery
Surgeons at Ascension Medical Group Genesys Downtown Flint Health Center have the expertise to perform many types of general surgery and specialty care 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 general surgeons who specialize in:
- Abdominal surgery, such as hernia repair
- Breast surgery for cancerous and non-cancerous conditions, including breast biopsy, lumpectomy or mastectomy
- Endocrine surgery, such as thyroid, parathyroid and adrenal gland surgery
- Gastrointestinal (GI) surgery, such as appendix removal, gallbladder removal, intestinal surgery and surgical procedures for gastric reflux
- Minor surgical procedures including removal of skin lesions, cysts and lymph node biopsies
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.
