Surgical Care
For most of us, surgery is a last resort. But sometimes surgery is unavoidable
and simply the right thing to do. Nearly 15,000 people have surgery at St. Francis
facilities each year. Our goal is to provide the highest quality care to our patients
and the latest technology and equipment to their surgeons.
This starts with providing a range of technologies to help your physician properly
diagnose your condition. It continues with making sure our surgical facilities
are designed and equipped to accommodate complex, multi-dimensional procedures
as well as the most commonly performed surgeries. Throughout, our caring, highly
trained staff focuses on three things: supporting surgeons during surgery, supporting
families during the sometimes long wait, and supporting patients both before and
after their operations.
Below are links to articles and definitions with illustrations to help you understand
more about a variety of surgical procedures.
