General surgery covers common operations such as those for the gallbladder, hernia and appendix. Many are performed laparoscopically - through small incisions - which usually means less pain and a quicker recovery.
Memorial Hospital has provided surgical care since its earliest years, when surgery was one of the hospital’s three founding departments.
