Skilled Specialty Surgical Care

Chances are very good that you will meet a surgeon on the operating table at some point. In fact, one study suggests individuals may have an average of 9.2 surgeries in a lifetime.

The Sutter Health network includes hundreds of experienced specialty surgeons. Neurosurgeons perform delicate surgeries in the brain and spinal cord, helping patients with epilepsy, cancer, Parkinson’s and many other diseases and disorders to recover. Pediatric surgeons care for your children’s needs, from the womb through their teen years.

We provide surgical services for a wide range of health needs, whether it is a gastric sleeve surgery to finally achieve an elusive weight-loss goal, a minimally invasive robotic hysterectomy surgery to treat ovarian cancer or a cochlear implant to help a deaf child hear.

  • Coronary Artery Bypass Surgery — For the one out of 10 patients who cannot be helped with angioplasty and stent placement, performed by cardiac surgeons.
  • Endovascular Coil Embolization — A technique that eliminates aneurysms through microcatheters using platinum micro-coils, often placed by neurosurgeons.
  • Joint Replacement — Replaces the knee, hip or shoulder, performed on patients as early as their 40s and 50s by orthopedic surgeons.
  • Lens and Cataract Surgery — To remove a cloudy area on the lens of the eye and, in most cases, replace your lens with an intraocular lens, performed by an eye surgeon.
