General Surgery
General surgeons provide surgical care with an emphasis on a patient-focused, collaborative team approach. They work closely with other specialists involved in each patient's care to diagnose and provide timely surgical intervention for needs ranging from benign growth removal to complex surgical cases. If indicated, surgery is performed at Baldwin Health. The operating rooms are equipped with modern diagnostic and surgical equipment, and staffed with caring, compassionate and trained medical professionals.
Minimally Invasive or Robotic-Assisted Surgery
With a dedication to quality and patient safety, surgeons are committed to providing innovative and safe alternatives to traditional open surgery. Whether using robotic-assisted technology or endoscopic techniques, the surgeons can perform complex and delicate procedures through small incisions with increased precision.
The benefits of minimally invasive surgery can include:
- Small incisions
- Less pain
- Low risk of infection
- Short hospital stay
- Quick recovery time
- Less scarring
- Reduced blood loss
While minimally invasive or robotic-assisted surgery can effectively reduce recovery time and give surgeons greater control, it isn't for everyone. Sometimes traditional open surgery provides surgeons better access to the area to be treated, and sometimes a patient's age, physical condition and surgical history may necessitate open surgery.
To learn whether minimally invasive or robotic-assisted surgery is right for you, schedule a consultation with a specialty departments.
