No matter the reason you or your loved ones need surgical
intervention, the experienced team of experts at Highlands
can help.
“A lot of people don’t realize the surgical options
our medical center
offers,” says Monica Hancock, director of Highlands
Surgery Center.
“We have an array of surgical procedures to help people
get back to
life after an illness or injury. People often tell us how
comfortable
their experience was, no matter what procedure they undergo.”
Here is a closer look at the range of surgical offerings
and the
people who provide them at Highlands.
From General Surgery.....
When suffering from gallbladder pain or hernia discomfort, surgery may be your best option. The experienced general surgery team at Highlands Surgery Center offers a range of surgical procedures helping you get back to a productive life.
....to Otolaryngology
Offering surgical solutions for issues concerning
the ear, nose, and
throat, otolaryngologists on staff at Highlands give much-needed
services.
Some of the conditions otolaryngologists treat include:
• thyroid disorders
• voice disorders
• chronic sinus problems
• nasal obstruction
“Untreated issues affecting the
ear, nose, or throat (ENT) can have
a huge impact on a patient’s quality of life,” explains
Dr. Daniel L.
Ortiz, board-certified otolaryngologist, facial/plastic surgeon,
and
allergy specialist on staff at Highlands. “Lost time
at work and pain
are two of the dangers of untreated ENT problems. Thanks
to new
surgical techniques, these conditions can be treated with
minimal
pain and downtime.”
To ensure a quick recovery, many of the conditions are treated
using a minimally invasive approach. Surgeons insert an endoscope
(thin tube with a camera on the end) into the mouth or nose
to the
problematic site to create a passageway, which can correct
some ear,
nose, or throat abnormalities.
…to Gynecology
Imagine being unable to go anywhere without the fear of
leaking urine
or suffering severe abdominal pain. For women with incontinence,
uterine
fibroids, and endometriosis, this fear is a daily reality.
Fortunately, these and many other gynecologic conditions
faced by
women can be corrected at Highlands. Using both open and
minimally
invasive techniques, gynecologists make it possible for women
to move on
and enjoy life.
“The team of surgeons at Highlands
is well trained and gives women
access to the latest and greatest surgical advances,” says
Paul Megehee,
MD, board-certified OB/GYN on staff at Highlands. “Gynecologic
conditions can be debilitating, and it’s a privilege
to help women
overcome them.”
…And More…
Some of the other surgical specialties provided at Highlands
include:
• breast biopsy
• cataract surgery
• facial/plastic surgery
• orthopedic surgery
• hernia repair
• gallbladder removal
• urologic surgery
• adenoid surgery

other surgery needs, he or she should
definitely look close to home at Highlands,” said Philip
Maddox, MD,
board-certified orthopedic surgeon at Highlands. “The
hospital has an
impressive and well-qualified staff and puts quality surgical
care as a top
priority.”
