Surgery Services at Meadville Medical Center (MMC)
The Surgery Department at Meadville Medical Center (MMC) utilizes the latest
in surgical equipment and techniques in providing both inpatient and outpatient
care. The surgical team consists of specially trained nurses and anesthetists,
general and specialty surgeons and anesthesiologists. The 32 surgeons
represent the areas of general surgery, peripheral vascular surgery, thoracic
surgery, obstetrics and gynecology, ophthalmology, oral and maxillofacial
surgery, orthopedics, otolaryngology, plastic and reconstructive surgery,
urology and neurosurgery.
Over 60% of surgeries are done on an outpatient basis, and outpatient surgery
remains a convenient, cost-saving alternative to hospital admission for
patients undergoing certain procedures. These patients are provided with
quality care and safety, plus the availability of complete hospital facilities
and services if needed. In recent years the trend is minimally invasive
surgery, which helps patients recover much faster, suffer less pain and
return to work quicker.
