Surgical Care

Complex and Minimally Invasive Treatments

If you need surgery, you want experts skilled in the latest procedures and technologies.

Whether your surgery is elective, an emergency procedure or part of a personalized treatment plan, you can count on the team at Emory Healthcare.

Our highly skilled surgeons and surgical nurses work together to provide the highest quality, compassionate care. We’re also leaders in developing new surgical techniques.

For example:

  • Emory surgeons performed Georgia’s first adult and pediatric heart transplants.
  • We have the state’s only hospital dedicated to orthopaedic and spine surgeries.
  • We were the first in the state to offer a minimally invasive heart valve procedure called transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR).


Types of Surgical Procedures

At Emory Healthcare, we perform surgery using a variety of methods. 

Open Surgery

During “open” surgery, surgeons make large incisions to access treatment areas. Open surgery may be the only option for some conditions.

Minimally Invasive Surgery

During minimally invasive surgery, surgeons make smaller incisions and use special instruments to access the treatment area. Minimally invasive surgery often results in shorter hospital stays and faster recovery times. Robotic-assisted surgery is a type of minimally invasive surgery.

Microsurgery

Microsurgery involves using a microscope to perform procedures on tiny structures, such as nerves.

Laser Surgery

During laser surgery, surgeons cut tissue using lasers instead of traditional surgical instruments. We often use laser surgery to treat eye conditions.

Emory Healthcare is right here, right when you need us. Our caring team of surgical experts can help you with your health concerns.
