Surgery
Methodist Physicians Clinic - Surgery West
The modern techniques used by the general surgeons of Methodist Physicians Clinic include minimally invasive surgery such as laparoscopy.
Patients who have minimally invasive surgery have reduced postoperative pain, shorter hospital stays and return to work and daily activities sooner.
Our experienced physicians perform all types of surgery, in all areas of the body, including venous access port insertion and removal.
Sentinal Lymph Node Mapping and Biopsy
Our surgeons are skilled in sentinal lymph node mapping for use in the surgical treatment of melanomas and breast cancer. The first lymph node to receive cancer cells after they have spread from the original tumor is called the sentinal node. Lymph node mapping can be performed at the time of a lumpectomy or mastectomy.
