General Surgery

Sometimes, healthcare needs extend beyond an exam room and a routine checkup and require a special procedure or some kind of surgical intervention. LMG surgeons perform a variety of endoscopic procedures in the endoscopy department at Lutheran Hospital, while more complex operations are performed in the hospital’s surgical suites.

Procedures performed include:

• Major abdominal cancer and trauma surgeries
• Laparoscopic and open gallbladder, hernia and bowel surgeries
• Upper and lower GI endoscopies, including ERCP
• Tracheostomy and PEG tube placement
