Mercyhealth’s expert general surgeons perform a wide variety of general surgery procedures on the body’s many systems using open, laparoscopic or da Vinci robotic-assisted methods. Many medical innovations have made surgery less dangerous and painful. Patients can avoid infection and be up and out of bed the same day depending on the type of procedure they have.

Depending on the type of surgery required, the patient may be eligible for a less-invasive procedure, such as laparascopy or da Vinci robotic-assisted surgery. Both are performed regularly at Mercyhealth locations.
