About
The General Surgery program at St. Catherine Hospital – Garden City is dedicated to delivering high-quality, patient-centered surgical solutions for a wide range of conditions. Our team of highly skilled surgeons is committed to utilizing the most effective and least-invasive approaches whenever possible. We believe in providing you and your loved ones with the most precise care, quicker recovery, and a better healing experience, which often involves leveraging the cutting-edge technology of robot-assisted surgery.
Our Services
Our specially trained surgeons are capable of performing traditional procedures as well as advanced robot-assisted surgeries through smaller incisions. This means minimally invasive surgical therapies are now available to patients whose only previous options may have been traditional “open” procedures.
The advanced robotic system is controlled by surgeons from a nearby control center in the operating room, offering enhanced visualization and instruments capable of maneuvers and rotations that surpass the natural ability of the human hand. While not all surgeries are robot-assisted, this technology is a cornerstone of our commitment to superior patient outcomes, offering benefits such as faster recovery times, reduced pain, smaller incisions, and minimal scarring.
