Armed with cutting-edge equipment and advanced surgical techniques, the Titusville Area Hospital (TAH) surgical team is prepared to perform a variety of in-depth surgical procedures. Most of our operations performed at TAH are on an outpatient basis, meaning the patients are not admitted to the hospital and are typically able to return home after the surgery.
For your convenience, your surgery and outpatient visits are both at Titusville Area Hospital. The operating room is located on the ground floor of TAH and the outpatient office is located on the first floor.
General Surgery Procedures Offered
Laparoscopic procedures are surgeries specifically designed to be minimally invasive, with a quicker recovery time. In the procedure, a long, thin camera is inserted through a small incision and examines the patient internally. This provides doctors with a chance to see the inside of the body in real time without having to make a large incision.
Open surgery is the traditional surgical procedure in which an incision is made over the area in which the surgeon needs to operate allowing the surgeon to visualize the area of concern.
A doctor will almost always recommend a laparoscopic operation over open surgery if possible as it carries less risk of infection and shorter recovery time for the patient. TAH can perform other procedures not otherwise listed below, but covered under general surgery as well:
