- SpecialtyWhether you have an emergency, such as appendicitis, or a problem that's been bothering you for some time, like a hernia, the general surgery team at Luminis Health is in your corner. Our general surgeons handle dozens of common — and not-so-common — abdominal issues. With minimally invasive techniques and specialized training, Luminis Health is the area leader in compassionate, effective care for both emergency and elective procedures. What Is General Surgery? In the past, the term “general surgery" meant just that: various procedures performed by a surgeon who had knowledge of the entire body — head to toe. But with today's high-tech equipment and advanced training, it's more effective to have a team of surgeons who specialize in different areas. At Luminis Health, general surgery is divided into two distinct categories: acute care and surgical sub-specialties. Acute-care surgery happens in the emergency department, where our surgeons work on a rotating basis. No matter what time of night or day, there is always a doctor in the hospital ready to perform emergency procedures as needed. Our surgical sub-specialists each have their own niche, providing the best possible care for each patient. They see people in an office setting and perform scheduled surgeries. Specialties include the upper and lower gastrointestinal (GI) tract, abdominal wall, thyroid, gallbladder and soft-tissue surgery., What to Expect From General Surgery Most of our scheduled surgeries are done on an outpatient basis, meaning you go home the same day. Sometimes your doctor will want you to stay in the hospital for overnight observation. For more-complicated surgeries, like a bowel resection, you may stay in the hospital for several days. Our head of surgery has more than 30 years of experience with advanced laparoscopy and is a pioneer in the field. Our team includes some of the most experienced robotic surgeons in the world. Your surgery may be done under a general anesthetic (meaning you'll be asleep). Your doctor will give you instructions on how to prepare for surgery, including what you can eat and drink beforehand.0
