Surgery

Our surgical program provides patient-centred and innovative care. The interdisciplinary team is committed to meeting the unique needs of our diverse community within a model of high-quality and safe care.

Our surgical program is recognized across Ontario and around the world for its excellence in a broad range of surgical specialties.

Our surgical team is comprised of a dedicated and high skilled team, including:

  • Surgeons
  • Anesthesiologists
  • Nurses
  • Allied care experts

Each member of our team is committed to meeting the unique needs of our diverse community within a model of high-quality care.

Our program provides expertise and service through our inpatient units and in our clinics. Our inpatient units support patients through all stages of their recovery. Each inpatient floor has a physiotherapy room for patients to use.

Our surgical program is a national leader in the evolving field of minimally-invasive surgery. Our surgeons regularly share their expertise with students and other professionals. We are proud of our strong affiliation with Queen’s University and the University of Toronto.

Our surgical program is equipped with state-of-the-art technology, including a robust robotics program. Robotic-assisted surgery is leading-edge medical technology to help access hard-to-reach areas of the body with greater precision.

All 20 of our operating rooms are linked with an integrated video system. This allows us to streamline patient flow and care.

We are also proud to be the first surgical program in Canada to use Steris RealView. This patient-tracking system sends real-time alerts regarding the patients’ journey so that loved ones will be able to know when the patient is checked in, to what unit they’re staying in overnight.
