Why choose OSF HealthCare?
You’ll benefit from the advanced technology and skilled surgeons at OSF HealthCare. Many of our surgeons perform minimally invasive procedures that require smaller incisions, which means less bleeding, pain and recovery time for you. They may use robotic tools during surgery, which helps make minimally invasive procedures possible. Robotic surgical technology also improves safety during complex surgery.
Surgery Basics
Doctors perform surgery to diagnose illness, treat disease, repair damage or prevent future health concerns. There are two main types of surgery:
Emergency Surgery
This is when you need a procedure right away. A heart attack, burst appendix or traumatic injury are all examples that may require immediate surgical treatment.Elective Surgery
If you don’t need surgery urgently, it’s elective. Many elective surgeries could be serious or lifesaving, but they don’t need to happen immediately. With elective surgery, you have time to choose your preferred surgeon and schedule your procedure in advance. Elective surgeries include knee replacement, cosmetic surgery and hernia repair.Loading component...
