Surgical Services
Once you and your doctor have discussed surgery, you can be confident that our team of board-certified surgeons has the expertise to serve you, including general surgery and minimally-invasive da Vinci™ robotic surgery.
With many procedures being performed by our seasoned team of experts each year, we offer complete surgical care to meet your needs. From routine procedures to complex surgery for life-threatening conditions, being close to home makes your recovery more manageable.
In addition to our highly-skilled general surgeons, East Alabama Health also specializes in subspecialties including cancer surgery, cardiac and thoracic (open-heart) surgery, gynecological surgery, gastrointestinal surgery, orthopaedic surgery, plastic surgery and more.
Whatever the treatment, East Alabama Health aims for an experience resulting in less pain, smaller scars and greater accuracy, with unparalleled focus on safety, positive outcomes and fast recovery.
East Alabama Medical Center installed the da Vinci S in 2010, and has had great success with gynecological, urological and some general surgeries. Then in 2014, the hospital welcomed the da Vinci Xi. Because EAMC is committed to providing the least invasive care for our patients, we were the first hospital in Alabama, and one of the first in U.S. to offer this type of da Vinci technology.
