What we do
General Surgery (distinctly different from General Practice) is the term used to identify surgeons who perform a wide range of surgical procedures in the head and neck, abdomen, and breast. Such operations would include intestinal, biliary (gall bladder), and hernia repair. All of our surgeons perform laparoscopic/lasar ("band aid incision") surgery procedures including hernia repair, gall bladder removal, acid-reflux procedures as well as the many other commonly used laparoscopic procedures. Vascular surgery is the repair of blocked, enlarged, or otherwise diseased or damaged blood vessels, Aneurysms of the aorta as well as blockages of the arteries in the neck, abdomen, or legs are examples. In addition, our physicians supervise the Noninvasive Vascular Laboratory at St. Francis Hospital. The purpose of this facility is to diagnose partial or complete arterial blockages and other vascular problems without the use of needles or the injection of dye. Endocrine surgery includes problems of the pancreas, thyroid, parathyroid, and adrenal glands. Several surgeons in our group have expertise and extensive experience in treating these disorders. Patients with endocrine and pancreatic problems can be directed to physicians who have special interests in and experience with this area of surgery. Oncologic Surgery involves itself with the management of tumors and cancers that require surgery for effective treatment and cure. Several of our doctors have had advanced fellowship training in Oncologic surgery which provides them with special expertise in the treatment of these problems. Bariatric Surgery is surgery used to help in the management and control of excessive weight. Overweight patients who have been evaluated and found to be candidates for this type of surgery may be referred to us for their operative procedures. The Bariatric surgeons in our group have had specialized training in performing these procedures through small 'Band-Aid' incisions, and the techniques they employ are quite different from older forms of open operations for overweight patients. Colorectal Surgery involves treatment of especially difficult problems and diseases of the lower digestive tract which are best managed by surgeons with advanced, fellowship training in this surgical subspecialty. The is by no means an all inclusive description of our work. Please contact our office for further information about us or our work. (901) 726 - 1056, Extension 0
