Advanced Breast Cancer Treatment
The number of new cases of breast cancer cases is on the rise. The mortality rate of breast cancer patients is down significantly due to medical advances and the increased number of mammograms administered.
Appendectomy
Your appendix is a small tube-like structure that extends off your large intestine. While the appendix does not have a known function, if it becomes inflamed or infected the result is appendicitis. Anyone can get appendicitis.
Gallbladder Surgery
Gallbladder disease is caused by conditions that slow or block the flow of bile from the gallbladder. Bile is a fluid that breaks down fat during the digestive process. Inflammation or gallstones can block the bile flow.
Surgical Management of Cancer
To assist in managing and treating cancer, we perform a variety of cancer-related procedures that assist in the treatment and maintenance of various cancer-fighting treatments and methods. One common procedure — chemo port surgery — gives patients and oncologists a convenient entry way for chemotherapy into the body. We also help maintain the access port through the duration of the treatment, keeping it clean, viable and healthy.
Stomach & Other Gastrointestinal
For complications of the stomach and other parts of the G.I. tract, we are skilled in performing a variety of surgeries and other procedures. We performed partial and total gastrectomies, as well as laparoscopic procedures on perforated ulcers. We also are skilled in Nissen fundoplication and surgeries on hiatal hernias. We also perform procedures on maladies related to the small bowel such as Crohn’s disease.
Hernia Surgery
People suffer from various types of hernias, and here at Central Surgical we are trained and equipped to deal with them all. Hernias occur when some part of an organ comes through the wall of the cavity that normally contains it, cutting off part of that organ as the rift in the cavity wall heals. Our surgeons are up-to-date on the latest procedures and technologies, which allows them to treat you in the best manner possible. We also understand how to help you overcome your anxiety and feel more at ease with surgical treatment of your hernia.
Thyroid & Parathyroid Surgery
