Surgery
Surgery is a branch of medicine that involves treating diseases or injuries by adjusting or removing organs, tissues or bones. Surgery includes both necessary procedures, like cardiac surgery, or elective procedures, such as joint replacement.

Surgical services we offer
Our medical team combines the latest advancements with personalized care to reduce your pain and enhance your quality of life.
General surgery
General surgery includes a wide range of highly specific subspecialties focused on treating conditions affecting the gastrointestinal (GI) tract, abdominal wall, skin, breasts and endocrine glands. At our hospital, our general surgeons perform elective or non-urgent procedures, such as hernia repair and gallbladder removal.
Orthopedic surgery
Orthopedic conditions, such as arthritis and hip fractures, can limit your mobility, making everyday activities more difficult and uncomfortable. Our experienced orthopedic surgeons provide both total and partial joint replacement procedures to help restore movement, reduce pain and improve your quality of life. We also offer comprehensive fracture repair services to support your recovery and return to daily activities.
Spine surgery
Our orthopedists collaborate with neurosurgeons to perform spine surgery, treating conditions such as herniated discs, spinal stenosis and degenerative disc disease.
Minimally invasive surgery
Our specialists use robot-assisted surgery to perform several types of orthopedic procedures, including total hip and knee replacements. As a minimally invasive approach, robotic technology allows our surgical team to operate with enhanced precision and control, which may lead to better joint function.
What happens during robot-assisted surgery?
During robot-assisted surgery, your surgeon remains in full control at the robotic console throughout the entire procedure. The system translates the surgeon’s hand movements into precise motions of specialized surgical instruments. This technology enhances accuracy and control, supporting improved surgical performance and several potential benefits.
What are the benefits of robotic methods?
Robotic methods have many potential benefits, including:
- Faster recovery time
- Reduced need for pain management
- Reduced scarring
- Shorter hospital stay
- Smaller incisions
