SERVICES

A List of all Surgical Service

BREAST SURGERY

There are two types of breast surgery procedures. Selection of the procedure performed depends on the location, size, and some other characteristics of the lump. If the breast lump appears on the mammogram, but the surgeon cannot feel the lump, the surgeon will send you to a radiologist for having a stereotactic biopsy.

GALLBLADDER SURGERY

The gallbladder is a tiny sac-shaped organ that is located just beneath the liver in the right upper part of the abdomen. It is part of the digestive system and its function is to store bile – a chemical that helps in digestion of fats.

Laparoscopic Gallbladder Surgery

Gallbladder Surgery - also called Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy.
The Gallbladder stores bile and releases it after we eat.
Gallbladder surgery is generally done for gallstones but can also be done for gallbladder dysfunction or a gallbladder that does not work properly. Gallbladder Surgery can be done laparoscopically and minimally invasively.

Ventral/Umbilical/

Inguinal Hernia Surgery

Hernias generally occur at the belly button (umbilicus), the abdominal wall (ventral) or groin areas (inguinal). We commonly perform hernia surgery as an ambulatory procedure with the goal to do it as an outpatient to get back to full function quickly. We do laparoscopic hernia surgery and mini-inguinal hernia surgery as well with the incision hidden in the groin line and not visible above the underwear line.

Thyroid and Parathyroid Surgery

Dr P does Thyroid surgery for thyroid nodules and thyroid cancer. For nodules often a lobectomy or partial thyroidectomy is all that is necessary. For cancer often a total thyroidectomy is done. We use a NIM nerve monitor during surgery to help identify and protect the laryngeal nerves during the procedure. We also do thyroid surgery for Thyroid goiters. Parathyroid surgery is done for parathyroid tumors or adenomas that secrete too much hormone that causes hypercalcemia

Hemorrhoid Surgery & Hemorrhoid Banding

Dr P treats patients with anorectal pain commonly. We can often treat hemorrhoids minimally invasively with hemorrhoid banding which can be done in the office as a very quick office procedure taking less than 5 minutes usually. We can often also do hemorrhoid banding during a colonoscopy. Especially if there is bleeding this is a good way to take care of two problems at once and take care of the hemorrhoids while also doing a full diagnostic colonoscopy.

Skin Cancer & Melanoma Surgery

Melanoma surgery usually requires wide local excision with good margins and can be done in the outpatient setting. Sometimes skin grafting may be necessary dependent on the location and size of the cancer. Often we also do sentinel lymph node removal at the time of surgery to check for spread of the disease.

Colonoscopy & Upper Endoscopy

We do colonoscopy and upper endoscopy to screen for colon cancer and also for diagnostic purposes in patients with colitis or bleeding. Upper endoscopy is done to evaluate a variety of medical issues including reflux disease, abdominal pain, gastritis and ulcer disease.

Breast mass & Cancer Surgery

We treat patients with breast masses and breast cancer. We perform breast biopsies and perform mastectomies for cancer. We work closely with plastic surgeons for reconstruction at the time of breast surgery and they will often do reconstruction with implants or with DIEP Flap reconstruction. We work closely with plastic surgeons and oncologists to give state of the art care for breast cancer patients.

Pilonidal Cyst Surgery

We do outpatient surgery on pilonidal cyst disease and often work with plastic surgery as needed for flap closure to prevent recurrence in this disease that can be very frustrating for patients.

Hidradenitis Surgery

We perform hidradenitis surgery and excision in the outpatient setting and attempt to treat this disease in a manner to get quick recover back to work.

Colon Surgery

We do Laparoscopic Colon Surgery for diverticulitis and colon cancer. This is done minimally invasively and the goal is a quick and rapid recovery out of the hospital to home
