If you or a loved one require surgery, you can count on the compassionate staff at Susan B. Allen. Our surgical suites are staffed and equipped to accommodate a wide range of surgical procedures. Minimally invasive procedures allow surgeons to operate through small incisions using a miniature lighted camera and instruments. This approach reduces pain, recovery time and overall risk for complications.

Common surgical procedures include:

• Adenoidectomy
• Appendectomy
• Cataract removal
• Colon resection
• Discectomy
• Gallbladder removal
• Gastrointestinal scopes
• Hernia repairs
• Hysterectomy
• Kyphoplasty
• Laminectomy
• Orthopaedic procedures
• Tonsillectomy

Our mission is to provide compassionate, professional healthcare to the people we serve. Thank you for allowing us to be part of your care team.

Patients scheduled for surgery are admitted through the Ambulatory Services Department. The admitting nurse reviews patients' medical histories and allergies and also answers questions patients might have to help put them at ease. 

Patients recover in the Post-Anesthesia Care Unit. Once they are alert and pain is under control, they are moved back to the Ambulatory Services area where they complete their recovery.

For more information about surgical services offered at Susan B. Allen, please talk to your physician, or call the Ambulatory Services Department at 316.321.8714.
