Surgical Services

Inpatient and ambulatory surgery is located on the third floor of the Bridwell Tower. There are 14 operating suites, many designed specifically for computer-assisted procedures.

 

Some of the advanced technology available includes:

  • Computerized navigation system for total joint replacements.
  • Computerized navigation system for neurosurgical procedures.
  • da Vinci Robotic Surgical System, for use in urological, gynecological and certain other surgeries.
  • Hybrid endovascular suite, which combines endovascular, cardiac surgical, laparoscopic, and radiological capabilities, allowing flexibility and speed in the treatment of patients with the most complex cardiac and vascular conditions.
