General Surgery

At Doctors Memorial, our board certified general surgeons are skilled at diagnosing and treating conditions of the abdomen. We have a proven track record in helping people get relief from symptoms and feel their best—from help with hernia pain relief to gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) treatment.

Our team provides expert emergency care, as well as minimally invasive surgeries. We are here to ease your mind, answer your questions and help relieve your symptoms.

General surgery addresses problems of the esophagus, stomach, intestines, pancreas and bile ducts, gallbladder and thyroid. When medical treatment and nonsurgical methods fail to relieve your symptoms, general surgeons at Doctors Memorial Hospital can help.

Surgeons at Doctors Memorial are nationally trained in minimally invasive techniques. These procedures help you recover faster and with less scarring.

Minimally Invasive Surgery

Why Minimally Invasive Surgery?

Our teams have extensive experience and training with minimally invasive techniques and robotic surgical systems. Our surgeons operate through tiny incisions using thin, flexible tubes, small cameras and miniaturized surgical instruments.

Minimally invasive surgery offers several advantages over traditional surgery, including:

Less blood loss
Less scarring
Faster recovery time
Less time spent in the hospital
Lower risk of infection
Better outcomes
Quicker recovery in between cancer surgery and other treatments

Da Vinci ® Robotic-Assisted Surgery

Minimally invasive surgery close to home

So you can heal quickly and get back to the people you enjoy most

Doctors Memorial Hospital offers the most effective, least invasive surgical treatments available. This accreditation signals that our hospital is among the best in this specialty and is acknowledged for providing the highest quality of care and patient safety.

If you or a loved one has been diagnosed with a condition that may require surgery, you owe it to yourself to learn about all your medical options. Our surgical program is led by board certified surgeons and offers the versatile DA VINCI® robotic-assisted surgical system.

Our robotic surgery program provides surgeons with alternatives to both traditional open surgery and conventional laparoscopy, putting a surgeon’s hands at the controls of state-of-the-art robotic platforms, enabling surgeons to perform even the most complex and delicate procedures through very small incisions with unmatched precision.

Your surgeon in control

The da Vinci ® surgical system gives your surgeon an advanced set of instruments to use in performing robotic-assisted minimally invasive surgery. The term “robotic” often misleads people. Robots don’t perform surgery. Your surgeon performs surgery with da Vinci ® by using instruments that he or she guides via a console. The da Vinci system translates your surgeon’s hand movements at the console in real time, bending and rotating the instruments while performing the procedure. The tiny wristed instruments move like a human hand, but with a greater range of motion. The da Vinci ® vision system also delivers highly magnified, 3D high-definition views of the surgical area. The instrument size makes it possible for surgeons to operate through one or a few small incisions.
