Surgery

Trauma SurgeryTrauma surgery

generally consists of invasive procedures that are often performed in an emergency setting.

Situations include victims of car accidents, violent crimes, and other assorted injuries and sudden illnesses.

Trauma surgery includes operations that focus on internal bleeding, obstruction of major organs, life-threatening infections, and other assorted high risk conditions.

Laparoscopic SurgeryLaparoscopic surgery is

a minimally invasive procedure in which we use small instruments and cameras to perform work on tiny and delicate organs, including the colon, appendices, and gallbladder.

We do this without needing to create an incision larger than a single centimeter.

This surgery has become quite common and is often seen implemented in various bariatric surgery procedures.

Colorectal SurgeryOur general surgeons can treat colon and rectal-related diseases.

These conditions include hemorrhoids, gastrointestinal bleeding, and other conditions such as internal bleeding.

Breast SurgeryOur general surgeons in Oklahoma City can perform the majority of all non-cosmetic breast surgery from lumpectomies to mastectomies, especially pertaining to the evaluation and diagnosis of breast cancer.

Vascular SurgeryVascular surgery refers to invasive operations that focus on the repair of blood vessels.

These procedures are typically performed by vascular surgery specialists with general surgeons treating minor vascular disorders.

Endocrine SurgeryEndocrine surgery consists of procedures which involve the thyroid gland.

General surgeons in this field are trained to operate on the thyroid glands, parathyroid glands, and the adrenal glands.

Dermatological SurgeryVarious

dermatological surgical procedures include burn treatment, removal of moles or unsightly aberrations in the skin, as well as the removal of fatty tumors.

Dermatological surgery also focuses on the treatment of infections which can necrotize the skin or lead to defects in the dermal layer.
