Lowell General offers surgical services across a wide range of specialties including the following:

General Surgery

General surgery is a broad specialty with a number of subspecialties that focus on a specific type of procedure or area of the body. General surgery ranges from the routine removal of a small lesion or growth to advanced minimally invasive, laparoscopic surgery. While many plan for a surgery, other times it is unexpected. Take comfort in knowing that Lowell General's surgical teams are able to handle all types of general surgery with an anesthesia team available around the clock and a surgical nursing team to support them.

Minimally Invasive Surgery

Minimally Invasive Surgery – also referred to as endoscopic, laparoscopic, arthroscopic or “keyhole” surgery – is performed using tiny instruments to operate inside the body. A minimally invasive technique is now the preferred surgical approach for many conditions, including cancer, heart disease and orthopedic issues, with ongoing advances each year as technology evolves.

Robotic-Assisted Surgery

The da Vinci® Surgical System at Lowell General Hospital provides surgeons with an alternative to both traditional open surgery and conventional laparoscopy, putting a surgeon's hands at the controls of a state-of-the-art robotic platform. The da Vinci System enables surgeons to perform even the most complex and delicate procedures through very small incisions with unmatched precision.
