Surgery

Our priority is your health, which is why we have a multidisciplinary group of physicians, nurses and medical staff working in such a wide range of surgical specialties, including breast, spine and urologic surgery, among many others.

Bariatric surgery

Sometimes, depending on the severity of your condition, you may find that traditional weight loss methods are unsuccessful. In these instances, bariatric surgery, or weight loss surgery, can be an incredibly effective way to lose weight and keep it off.

ENT surgery

Our ear, nose and throat (ENT) team provides treatment for conditions of the head and neck. We offer surgical procedures to treat a variety of these conditions, including:

• Allergies
• Head, face and neck cancer
• Swallowing conditions

We also offer a specialized image-guided surgery for sinus repair.

General surgery

General surgeons are important utility players in the surgical field. Rather than being beholden to one specific specialty, these skilled surgeons have expertise in a wide range of procedures, ranging from abdominal surgeries to head and neck procedures. Additionally, general surgeons have expertise in surgeries such as:

• Breast surgery
• Endocrine surgery
• Gastrointestinal (GI) surgery
• Hernia surgery
• Skin and soft tissue surgeries
• Surgeries of the extremities

Gynecological surgery

Our obstetrician-gynecologists (OB/GYNs) provide diagnosis and treatment for a variety of women's health conditions. We offer surgical procedures to treat:

• Conditions of the uterus
• Gynecologic cancers
• Pelvic floor disorders
• Urogynecology conditions

Heart and vascular surgery

We offer a wide range of surgical procedures to treat numerous cardiovascular conditions, including:

• Heart arrhythmia
• Heart attack
• Heart disease
• Heart failure

Limb preservation surgery

There are certain conditions, such as chronic wounds or diabetes, that can lead to the need for amputation as a result of poor circulation, infection or neuropathy. Our specialized procedures for limb preservation help reduce the number of amputations needed, with an overall goal of preserving as much of the limb as possible to help you regain function. Some of our surgical offerings include amputation, avascular necrosis, bone healing, extremity replantation, mangled extremity, pelvic stabilization and sarcoma.

Neurosurgery

Our neurosurgeons work together to provide care for conditions of the brain and spine. Some of the neurological conditions we treat surgically include:

• Brain aneurysms
• Brain tumors
• Complex spine conditions
• Disc herniation
• Epilepsy
• Movement disorders, including Parkinson's disease and essential tremor
• Nerve compression
• Skull base tumors

To treat these conditions, we use a variety of surgical methods, including stereotactic radiosurgery and laser interstitial thermal therapy (LITT).

Orthopedic surgery

• Hip preservation surgery
• Joint replacements (including hip, knee, ankle and shoulder replacements)
• Spine surgery
• Surgery for sports-related injuries

Hand surgeries

We offer specialized hand reconstructive surgery in the event you have a disfiguring and/or painful hand condition. Our surgeons work to help restore hand appearance and function.

Plastic and reconstructive surgery

Our compassionate plastic and reconstructive surgeons understand that considering one of these procedures can be a very delicate process. We work hard to listen and understand your unique needs before, during and after surgery, with a wide variety of potential options for both men and women. Specializing in both reconstructive and cosmetic procedures, our surgeons take the time create an individual plan to improve your self-image and get you back to your life.

Surgery for stroke

Our hospitals offer advanced surgical treatment for stroke, including endovascular thrombectomy. Thrombectomy is a minimally invasive procedure that is used to remove a blood clot that is preventing blood flow to the brain, dramatically reducing the damage certain types of stroke can cause. Depending on how early you undergo the procedure, you may recover with little to no long-term damage.

Urologic surgery

The goal of our urology program is to correct conditions of the bladder, kidney, pelvic floor and urinary tract.

We offer a variety of urologic surgical procedures, including:

• Bladder suspension
• Cystectomy
• Nephrectomy
• Prostatectomy
• Pyeloplasty

Minimally invasive surgery is a type of operation that can be completed with fewer and smaller incisions than traditional surgery. This offers many benefits to patients, including:

• A shorter hospital stay
• Faster return to normal daily activities
• Less pain and scarring

Robot-assisted surgery

We are proud to provide minimally invasive options for nearly all of our surgical specialties. In fact, we were the first to offer many minimally invasive robot-assisted surgeries in Colorado. This means you have access to technologies, experienced surgeons and highly skilled robotic surgery teams.

Pediatric surgery

We proudly offer a minimally invasive pediatric surgery program so kids can be kids again as soon as possible after surgery. Our pediatric surgeons are experts in reducing pain and comforting your child before and after their surgery.
