Providence Surgical Associates

We recognize that surgery is never an easy decision. That’s why our physicians aim to equip every patient with the knowledge they need to make empowered treatment decisions.

Our surgeons perform a wide range of procedures, frequently with minimally invasive and robotic techniques, including:

• Hernia Repairs: Surgical procedure to correct hernias, which occur when an internal organ or tissue pushes through a weak spot in the muscle or surrounding tissue wall. Common types include inguinal, umbilical, and incisional hernias.
• Gallbladder Surgery / Cholecystectomy: The surgical removal of the gallbladder, often due to gallstones causing pain or infection. This procedure is typically performed laparoscopically.
• Appendectomies: Surgical removal of the appendix, usually performed as an emergency procedure when the appendix is inflamed or infected (appendicitis).
• Biopsies: The removal of a small sample of tissue from the body for examination under a microscope. Biopsies help diagnose conditions such as cancer, infections, or inflammatory diseases.
• Skin and Soft Tissue Removals: Surgical excision of abnormal growths, cysts, tumors, or infected tissue from the skin or underlying soft tissues. These procedures can be done for both medical and cosmetic reasons.
• Oncologic Surgery: Surgery that focuses on the diagnosis, staging, and treatment of cancer. It often involves removing tumors and nearby tissues or lymph nodes to prevent the spread of cancer.
• Colorectal Surgery: Surgical treatment of conditions affecting the colon, rectum, and anus. Common reasons include colorectal cancer, inflammatory bowel disease (like Crohn’s or ulcerative colitis), diverticulitis, or rectal prolapse.
