Sometimes a disease, injury or birth defect requires surgery. General surgeons are there for you before, during and after the procedure to help you understand what will happen and to recover.
Many surgical procedures today are minimally invasive. This means smaller incisions, less blood loss and faster recovery times. Examples of minimally invasive surgery are:
Robotic surgery
Laparoscopic surgery
Laser surgery
Your surgeon will work with you to determine the best option for you.
Whether the surgery you need is routine or very specialized, you can trust us to get you moving forward again.
Robotic surgery
Robotic-assisted surgery has changed the way surgeons work and the way patients recover.
Before any procedure, you will meet with your surgeon for an evaluation. During the evaluation, you surgeon will determine if surgery is needed and what procedure is appropriate. Your surgery will be scheduled for a later date.
Some minor procedures, like cyst removal or wound care, may be appropriate in the clinic setting. Your doctor will decide this during evaluation.
What you can expect
Following your surgical consultation, you will be given instructions on how to prepare for your surgery and what to do following your surgery. Allina Health offers an online manual for you to learn more about what you need to know before your surgery.
Wait times are an estimate that reflect the average time from arrival to being seen by a provider.
Wait times can change quickly based on the number of patients and the severity of their care needs. This means if someone comes in after you with a more serious problem, they may be seen before you.
