If surgical treatment is the best option, your procedure may be scheduled at Prairie Lakes Hospital or at an outreach location. We provide a wide variety of surgical procedures on an outpatient and inpatient basis. 

Many procedures are minimally invasive using the latest laparoscopic techniques, our general surgery providers can perform procedures deep within the body without the need for larger incisions. Laparoscopic surgeries are done by making a series of very small incisions, through which a laparoscopic camera and tiny surgical instruments are used to perform the surgery. Procedures using this technique include:

  • Hernia Repair
  • Appendectomy (appendix removal)
  • Colon and small intestine surgery
  • Acid Reflux surgery
  • Cholecystectomy (gallbladder removal)
