    General Surgery

    Your Care Requires Surgical Precision.
    That's why we're here.

    Palestine Regional Medical Center offers a wide range of surgical services and procedures. Our highly trained surgeons offer an individualized approach to managing complex surgical conditions of the breast and digestive tract. Surgical oncology (including melanoma, colon cancer, breast cancer, and other gastrointestinal malignancies) and a variety of other procedures are also provided.

    The surgeons at Palestine Regional Medical Center are leaders in the use of minimally invasive surgical methods, including robotic-assisted surgery, which means smaller incision size, less pain, minimal scarring, and faster recovery times for our patients. Hernia repairs done with minimally invasive methods set our surgeons apart from others in the area.

    Minimally Invasive Options 

    Palestine Regional Medical Center’s surgeons are recognized for their expertise in minimally invasive procedures. By using miniature cameras with microscopes, tiny fiber-optic flashlights, and high-definition monitors, surgeons can perform surgery through small incisions that take only a few stitches to close. Smaller incisions result in less blood loss, less pain, and a quicker recovery. We offer:

    • Arthroscopic surgery 
    • Endovascular techniques (catheter-guided procedures) 
    • Laparoscopic surgery 
    • Laser surgery

    Our skilled teams work in state-of-the-art surgical suites and deliver personalized care using sophisticated medical technology. We work closely with patients, families, and their primary care providers to ensure that we answer every question and address every concern. At Palestine Regional Medical Center, our focus is on patient safety, care, and comfort.

    Robotic Surgery

    What is robotic-assisted surgery and how can it help me?

    Robotic-assisted surgery is a less invasive technique than what is referred to as “open” surgery. With the robot, the cuts (incisions) made in your body by your surgeon are much smaller than the cut made during open surgery and is, therefore, considered “minimally invasive surgery.” Studies have shown the following benefits in comparison to open surgery:

    • A faster recovery
    • A shorter hospital stay
    • Fewer complications
    • Less blood loss
    • Fewer complications
    • Less need for narcotic pain medicine
    • Smaller incisions associated with minimal scarring
     
     

    Sometimes, Less is More

    The Da Vinci 5 surgical robot helps surgeons perform some procedures with greater precision and control than traditional surgery. With enhanced 3D visualization and highly precise robotic instruments, it can allow for smaller incisions, less pain, reduced blood loss, and a potentially faster recovery. This advanced technology supports a safer, more comfortable experience for many patients while helping surgeons deliver highly accurate care.
