There are many reasons to have surgery. Some operations can relieve or prevent pain. Others can reduce a symptom of a problem or improve some body function. Some surgeries are done to find a problem. For example, a surgeon may do a biopsy, which involves removing a piece of tissue to examine under a microscope. Some surgeries, like heart surgery, can save your life.
Some operations that once needed large incisions (cuts in the body) can now be done using much smaller cuts. This is called laparoscopic surgery. Surgeons insert a thin tube with a camera to see, and use small tools to do the surgery.
After surgery there can be a risk of complications, including infection, too much bleeding, reaction to anesthesia, or accidental injury. There is almost always some pain with surgery.

Breast Surgery
Breast augmentation surgery
The Hospital offers breast augmentation surgery for reconstructive purposes after breast cancer surgery (for example), to correct a breast defect, to increase breast size, or to achieve a younger, more natural appearance. The Hospital plastic surgeons and surgical team will thoroughly answer your questions, address any concerns or apprehension you may have, and help you decide if breast augmentation surgery is right for you.
Colon and Rectal Surgery
Our surgeons offer advanced surgical and minimally invasive (laparoscopic) options. In fact, Hospital colorectal surgeons are among the area’s most successful providers of laparoscopic procedures. These minimally invasive options not only treat disease, they also require a smaller incision (which improves cosmetic results), help preserve normal bowel function, reduce post-operative pain and the need for analgesic medication, and speed recovery.
