Surgery
Surgical services are offered at Kirby Hospital. Specially trained physicians and surgeons, certified nurse anesthetists, operating room nurses and recovery room staff provide surgical services in a relaxed state-of-the-art operating room environment. The majority of surgeries performed are same day surgery or limited stay procedures. This enables a person having outpatient surgery to be admitted in the morning, undergo the procedure, and return home the same day.
A variety of services are offered at Kirby Hospital’s surgical department, including general surgeries and gynecological services. Please contact your physician to utilize the local facility.
Some specialty services offered are:
