Surgery

Whether it is for the treatment of digestive disorders or cancer, the surgical team has a wealth of experience in using advanced tools and techniques to make surgery and recovery easier on patients.

Areas of Expertise

Corona Regional Medical Center offers surgical expertise in the following areas:

Advanced Technology and Techniques

Surgeons at Coronal Regional Medical Center use minimally invasive techniques, including minimally invasive lumbar decompression. Minimally invasive surgery usually results in quicker healing and less scarring. Surgeons make small pencil-sized holes in the body and insert small video cameras to provide magnified views and help them guide small surgical instruments through the body to the surgery site, where the surgery is completed. Because the procedure is performed through the small incisions, patients experience smaller scars and quicker recoveries.

Patients scheduled for surgery at Corona Regional can preregister online using REGIE, our online preregistration service.

Robotic Surgery

Surgeons at Corona Regional Medical Center use an advanced robotic platform, the da Vinci® Surgical System, to perform complex surgical procedures. Using small, robotically operated tools, doctors can make smaller incisions than possible with standard surgery. This may result in less pain, scarring and blood loss than other surgical procedures, so people can return to daily life more quickly.
