Surgical Care at Banner Churchill Community Hospital
At Banner Churchill, we want you to know that whether the surgery is general or more specialized, you can be assured that our medical professionals have the experience, skill and technology to achieve the best possible outcomes.
Surgical Area
Surgical services include general, gastrointestinal, OB/GYN, Orthopedic and laparoscopy procedures, among others.
The departments that encompass our Surgical Care Area include the pre-op holding unit, the operating rooms, the post-anesthesia care unit (PACU) and the sterile processing unit. The caregivers who comprise these units are involved collaboratively with each other and with the surgeons, anesthesiologists and other health care professionals to provide the best surgical experience possible.
A Banner Surgical Option
In partnership with Lahontan Valley Surgical Associates, an outpatient surgery center, complements Banner Churchill’s existing surgical services.
Medical technology has made certain types of surgery less complicated for patients. With laparoscopic and arthroscopic technology, physicians are electing to perform surgeries in out patient settings. Surgeries done in ambulatory surgery centers mean patients usually leave within two hours of the procedure to recover at home. This decreases the risk for infection to the patient.
Outpatient surgeries are performed on patients needing less-invasive surgery. Tonsillectomies, arthroscopy, gynecological, urological, hernia repair, gallbladder and colonoscopy are the most frequent.
Treatment at the New River Surgical Arts requires the same precautions as a hospital stay: consult from a physician, routine blood test and a thorough medical history.
At Banner Health, where more surgeries are performed than any other organization in all the communities we serve, we provide all surgical patients with the highest standards of care.
