Surgery

 

At Hendricks Regional Health, we work hard to stay on the cutting edge of the latest advancements in surgery, and our physicians commit themselves to continuing education and specialized training. The rapid development of new surgical equipment and procedures has often allowed our patients to enjoy shorter hospital stays and faster recovery.

Hendricks Regional Health is pleased to announce the recent acquisition of the da Vinci Xi surgical system by Intuitive. The da Vinci surgical system can be used across a spectrum of minimally invasive surgical procedures and enables multi-quadrant access for gynecology, urology, thoracic, cardiac, and general surgeries. We are thrilled to be a leader in this field and look forward to continually bringing West Central Indiana advanced minimally invasive surgical options.

Inpatient surgical procedures are performed at our Danville campus; outpatient procedures are done at both our Danville campus and Hibbeln Surgery Center, located at our Avon campus.

Our surgeons are supported by a Magnet® accredited nursing team and the latest technology. New operating suites at our Danville campus utilize high-definition monitors for viewing radiology tests and live laparoscopic procedures. The operating room lighting was designed to provide a range of illumination, including spotlights and green lighting to give visual flexibility throughout the rooms. Green lights can be switched on for better viewing during laparoscopic procedures, allowing the surgeon’s eye to better distinguish small details.

Patients who have procedures at Hibbeln Surgery Center in Avon benefit from features designed for privacy and convenience, including a chronic pain management area and special pediatric areas. Watch our Teddy Bear Tour video or visit our Teddy Bear Tours page for resources to prepare your child for surgery.
