Surgery

At Lakeview Hospital, we believe that high-quality surgical care begins with education about your procedure and understanding what you can expect before, during and after your surgery. We want every patient to feel comfortable with their treatment plan.

From minimally invasive outpatient surgery to complex and detailed spine surgery, we are committed to caring for you. We have strong relationships with board-certified physicians who perform a wide range of surgical procedures, including:

• Appendectomy
• Bowel resection
• Breast biopsy
• Laparoscopic cholecystectomy
• Laparoscopic colon resection
• Mastectomy
• Surgery for inguinal and umbilical hernia

Our expert orthopedic surgeons are experienced in performing a wide range of advanced orthopedic surgical procedures. From joint replacement to vertebroplasty—our goal is to provide the orthopedic care you need to help you heal as quickly as possible. One of the ways we do this is through robot-assisted surgery.

Robot-assisted joint surgery

Hip or knee pain can make it increasingly difficult to accomplish daily tasks or enjoy activities with family and friends. Typically caused by osteoarthritis and other degenerative chronic conditions, joint pain often worsens over time. When joints “wear out,” normal, every day movements like standing up, bending and walking become extremely difficult.

If you’re experiencing extreme pain and limited mobility and non-surgical treatment options have not helped, it may be time to talk with your primary care physician about joint replacement surgery.

Robot-assisted surgery is an innovative solution for patients with painful degeneration of hip and knee joints. Using this technology, our specially trained orthopedic surgeons can help you enjoy pain relief and return to the lifestyle you love—faster.

Benefits of robot-assisted joint surgery include:

• Decreased risk of joint dislocation over time
• Minimal trauma to healthy bone and tissue
• More accurate placement and alignment of hip and knee implants
• Optimal joint implant positioning results in a more natural feeling hip or knee post-surgery
• Quicker return to normal daily activities shortly after surgery

Robotic total hip replacement

Our robot-assisted total hip replacement procedure is designed for those suffering with inflammatory or non-inflammatory degenerative hip joint disease, like osteoarthritis. Using real-time information and images of your hip, your surgeon controls accurate implant placement, which can be difficult to achieve with traditional total hip replacement techniques without a robotic arm.

Our total hip replacement procedure is designed to achieve a new level of precision using advanced techniques in total hip replacement and is designed to restore mobility and an active lifestyle.

Robotic partial knee replacement

Our robot-assisted partial knee replacement procedure is designed to relieve the pain caused by joint degeneration due to osteoarthritis. Unlike other more invasive procedures, this advanced robotic procedure can often be performed through a four to six inch incision over your knee with small incisions over both your femur (thigh bone) and tibia (shin). By selectively targeting the part of your knee damaged by osteoarthritis, your surgeon can resurface your knee while sparing the healthy bone and ligaments surrounding it.
