Specialized Surgical Services
Hernia Repair
We treat inguinal, umbilical, ventral, incisional, and lumbar hernias using a robotic approach, minimizing scarring, reducing pain, and helping you return to daily life faster with fewer complications.
Complex Abdominal Hernias
For large or recurrent abdominal wall hernias and rectus diastasis, we use an advanced robotic approach for a safer repair with a shorter recovery time, often on an out-patient basis, right here in Alaska.
Hiatal Hernia Repair
Gallbladder Surgery
If you have been diagnosed with gallbladder disease, we can perform minimally invasive surgery to remove the gallbladder.
Adrenal Tumor Removal
Adrenal tumors, including pheochromocytoma, are removed robotically for optimal precision. This minimally invasive method lowers complication risks and offers a smoother recovery than traditional open surgeries.
Thyroid Surgery
For enlarged thyroid nodules, cancer concerns, or symptomatic nodules, we offer total or partial thyroidectomy. Our techniques ensure precision while reducing scarring and downtime, so you can heal more comfortably.
Parathyroid Surgery
We remove overactive parathyroid glands that cause high calcium or hormonal imbalances —helping restore proper function and prevent long-term damage without a large incision.
