Surgery Services
When you need surgery, you want experience. Virtua surgeons perform over 100,000 procedures each year, so you're in expert hands.
At Virtua, our goal is to make your surgical experience as smooth and easy as possible. Whether you're here for an elective surgery, an emergency procedure, or an advanced operation, you can expect expertise, transparency, and safety—before, during, and after your surgery.
Our Approach to Surgery
We take pride in our ability to perform some of the most advanced surgical procedures, right here in South Jersey. In fact, our campuses are home to nationally recognized heart, brain, colorectal, gynecologic, thoracic, orthopedic, spine, and vascular surgeons.
Here's what you can expect by connecting with our team:
- Home is where the heart is: South Jersey is our home. And since day one, we've made it our mission to bring the very best care to our community. Beyond being exceptionally skilled surgeons, these specialists are your neighbors who are invested in your health and well-being.
- Surgical pioneers: All five of our hospitals have robotic surgery facilities. Through this technology, our surgeons can make smaller incisions with pinpoint accuracy, resulting in faster recovery times and less pain. Whenever possible, we also utilize minimally invasive surgical techniques, which are less impactful on your body.
- Every question, answered: Because we know how stressful surgery can be, we take the time to walk you through the entire process. Our team will answer every question, explain the procedure in detail, and address any concerns. Together, we'll develop a treatment plan that makes the most sense for you and your lifestyle.
Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS)
At Virtua, we use Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) methods to help you bounce back faster after surgery. ERAS protocols are used before and after surgery to shorten the length of time in the hospital and significantly minimize pain.
- ERAS guidelines include:
- Drinking carbohydrate fluids before surgery to prepare your body
- Getting out of bed sooner after surgery to encourage your body to regain normal lung and bowel functions
- Proactively managing pain with non-narcotic medications
