General Surgery
Southside Physicians Network provides surgical services from emergency care to treatment of disease in nearly all of the body’s organs - tumor removal, hernia repair, vascular surgery and wound care – many using minimally invasive surgical techniques. The surgeon works closely with patients, families and primary care doctors to provide personalized, coordinated surgical care.
Southside Physicians Network offers robotic-assisted surgery.
For patients, this may mean:
- Less pain and scarring
- Lower risk of infection
- Less time in the hospital
- Faster recovery
Robotic-assisted surgical systems allow our specially-trained surgeons to perform complex procedures. Small incisions are made near the surgical treatment area. From a surgical console in the operating room, our surgeons manipulate surgical instruments attached to robotic arms to perform surgery through these small incisions. Tiny but powerful cameras provide magnified 3D images so the surgeon has a clear and detailed view of the surgical area. The robotic arms and controls give surgeons better dexterity, precision and range of motion.
