Providing Outstanding Care for Routine and Complex Surgeries

General surgery, despite its name, is a surgical specialty that focuses on abdominal organs, e.g. intestines including esophagus, stomach, colon, liver, gallbladder and bile ducts, and often the thyroid gland and hernias.

Trinity’s surgical team provides outstanding care for all routine and complex general surgery problems. Areas of special interest include GI oncology, inflammatory bowel disease, liver tumors, complex pancreatic or biliary disorders, reoperative GI surgery, functional GI problems and proctology.

Minimally invasive surgical techniques are performed at Trinity, which significantly reduce the amount of time spent in the hospital and promotes quicker recovery.

Minimally invasive procedures performed at Trinity include:

  • laparoscopic cholecystectomy for gallstones

  • laparoscopic gastric and bowel resection

  • laparoscopic fundoplication for reflux and diagnostic laparoscopy
