Rome Health is nationally recognized as a leader in infection prevention and patient safety. Our surgeons embrace evidence-based practices to provide patients with the best possible outcomes.
For example, by assuring that our patients get the right medicines at the right time on the day of their surgery, we reduce the risk of complications due to infection or blood clots.
Surgeons at Rome Health have the expertise to perform laparoscopic or minimally invasive surgery. For our patients, that means smaller incisions, less pain and the ability to return to normal activities sooner.
A broad range of surgical procedures are performed at Rome Health, including general surgery procedures for skin and colon cancers, breast cancer, gall bladder and thyroid disease, appendicitis, hernia repair, and ear, nose and throat.
Thoracoscopic procedures for lung and esophageal cancer, management of pneumothorax, and mediastinal tumors are also performed.
Breast surgeries, including those for diagnosis and treatment of breast disease such as biopsy and cyst aspiration, as well as lumpectomy, mastectomy and sentinel lymph node biopsy.
Laparoscopic and laser surgery for gynecological needs. Some of the procedures available include laparoscopic hysterectomy, tubal ligation and vaginal prolapse repair.
Robotic-Assisted Surgery
Rome Health offers robotic-assisted surgery using the da Vinci® Surgical System, an advanced technology that helps surgeons perform many procedures through small incisions. Located in the new Kaplan Center for Surgical Services, our robotic surgery program combines modern surgical technology, specialized expertise and a commitment to helping patients receive high-quality care close to home.
Robotic-assisted surgery may be an option for certain general surgery, weight loss, gynecological and urological procedures. Your surgeon will help you understand your options and determine which approach is best for your condition, overall health and treatment goals.
