75 Years Of Surgical Innovation
For more than seven decades, our highly experienced team of surgeons has provided outstanding patient care in the Charlotte region. With 24 surgeons, we provide a comprehensive array of general, vascular and specialty surgical care at 8 convenient locations, including offices in the Lake Norman, Rock Hill and Mint Hill communities
Laparoscopic Surgery
Laparoscopic surgery allows the surgeon to perform a procedure using small incisions, visualizing the site through a small telescope-like instrument: the laparoscope. The benefits to the patient is that smaller incisions heal with less discomfort. This usually results in a shorter hospital stay, and less time away from normal activities.
Robotic Surgery
For certain conditions, our surgeons offer robotic surgery as a treatment option. This advanced, minimally invasive surgery utilizes a computer-controlled robot to assist in performing a surgical procedure. This allows surgeons to operate in small spaces in the body that would normally require traditional open surgery.
Vascular Lab
The Surgical Specialists of Charlotte Vascular Laboratory is one of the region’s premier IAC Accredited Vascular Laboratories. We provide non-invasive evaluation of vascular disease (both venous and arterial) using ultrasound and segmental arterial pressure recordings. Both of these modalities are patient friendly and do not require use of needles, dye or x-ray.
