                      Surgical Services


                      When you need surgery, it can be a stressful and emotional time for you and your loved ones. At Northwest Healthcare, we provide surgical care, advanced technology and knowledgeable and experienced surgeons.

                      We offer a range of surgical services in almost every medical specialty - everything from general surgery to treat colorectal cancer, gastroesophageal reflux and hernias, to minimally invasive and robotic-assisted surgical options.

                      Patient Safety

                      Skilled teams work closely with patients, families and their primary care doctors to answer questions and address concerns. At Northwest Healthcare, the focus is on patient safety, care and comfort.

                      Northwest Medical Center, Oro Valley Hospital, Northwest Medical Center Sahuarita and Northwest Medical Center Houghton feature an ultraviolet (UV) light disinfection system to reduce bacteria and decrease the possibility of infections in our operating rooms. This system, in conjunction with routine cleaning, is just one way we demonstrate our commitment to patient safety.

                      Minimally Invasive Options

                      The surgeons at Northwest Healthcare perform minimally invasive procedures when possible. By using miniature cameras with microscopes, tiny fiber-optic flashlights and high-definition monitors, surgeons can perform surgery through small incisions that take only a few stitches to close. Minimally invasive procedures may result in less blood loss, less pain and a quicker recovery.

                      Advanced Technology

                      Northwest Healthcare's hospitals are home to many minimally invasive surgical suites, several of which are specialized for specific types of surgeries, including:

                      • Cardiovascular Hybrid Suite: A cardiovascular hybrid suite includes both a cardiac catheterization lab and cardiovascular surgery capabilities, minimizing the need to move the patient for multiple cardiac procedures.

                      • Neurological Suite: Here, we offer 3D image-guided technology for improved visualization during surgery and the ability to navigate through critical brain anatomy and spinal structures while minimizing contact with uninvolved tissue.

                      • Robotic Suites: Robotic-assisted surgical suites are used for minimally invasive urological, gynecological, cardiac and general surgeries.

                      Oro Valley Hospital and Northwest Medical Center Houghton offer robotic-assisted joint replacement surgery, in which a robotic arm is used as a tool to assist surgeons. The robotic arm technology helps the surgeon be far more precise during surgery by using a 3-D model to pre-plan your surgery. This helps the surgeon to perform the procedure based on your anatomy.

                      If you are suffering from knee and hip pain due to arthritis and non-surgical therapies have failed, partial knee or total knee or hip replacement robotic-assisted surgery may be able to restore your mobility and active lifestyle.

                      Robotic-assisted surgery is also available for minimally invasive gynecological and general surgeries.

                      Our newest hospital, Northwest Medical Center Houghton, offers a broad range of surgical care, including robust orthopedic and joint-replacement programs.
