Surgical Services

Surgical services involves a large number of different procedures. Many surgical procedures require making one or more incisions in the skin to give surgeons access to your organs.

Surgery may be performed to relieve pain, to remove or replace a diseased or injured body part — such as replacing a hip joint or removing a gallbladder — or to repair internal damage to the body, like a hernia.
