General Surgery

General Surgery at Winchester Hospital

General surgeons at Winchester Hospital treat diseases of the abdomen, breast, blood vessels, digestive tract and more. We provide care for a broad range of issues. Whether you need treatment for a hernia, appendicitis or complex cancer, you can trust our expertise.

Our general surgeons are experienced in laparoscopic and minimally invasive surgery. These procedures allow our team to operate through several tiny incisions. For you, this means less pain and improved healing. In many cases, you don’t even need to stay in the hospital overnight. We get you home quickly, so you can get back to living your life.
