Eye surgery

Ophthalmologists at PeaceHealth are experts in a wide range of methods to treat eye disease, including:

• Eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty) – A range of surgeries that treat droopy upper and lower eyelids.
• Micro-invasive glaucoma surgery (MIGS) – Uses tiny equipment and incisions (cuts), which may offer a shorter recovery than traditional glaucoma surgery.
• Minimally invasive cataracts surgery – Uses very small cuts to replace a cloudy lens with a new lens without stiches.

Head and neck surgery/ENT (specialized surgery)

Surgeons correct or repair conditions affecting the ears, nose, throat, airways and head and neck. These include sinusitis, hearing problems, sleep apnea and tumors. We offer non-invasive and minimally invasive procedures, including endoscopic transoral robotic surgery, or TORS (access through the mouth).

Gynecologic surgery (specialized surgery)

Conditions such as heavy menstrual bleeding, fibroids, endometriosis, ovarian cysts, urinary incontinence or gynecologic cancer may require surgery. Surgeons perform advanced procedures, including robotic hysterectomy and hysteroscopy techniques (access through the vagina) that require few or no incisions. 

Heart surgery (specialized surgery)

Expert cardiac surgeons treat conditions that affect the heart, vessels and arteries. Heart surgeons perform a variety of procedures, including coronary bypass surgery, ventricular assist device (VAD) implantation and transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR).

Surgeons treat diseases and defects of the mouth, teeth, tongue and jaws, such as TMJ, trauma, tumors, cleft lip/palate and infections. Treatments include extractions, orthognathic/corrective jaw surgery, Le Fort osteotomy, dental implants and bone grafting.

Orthopedic surgery (specialized surgery)

Treating diseases and injuries of the bones, joints and ligaments, including those of the shoulders, arms, hands, hips, legs and feet requires specialized skills. Orthopedic surgeons perform knee surgery, foot and ankle surgery, hand surgery and joint replacement often using only a few small incisions. 

Plastic and reconstructive surgery (specialized surgery)

As specialists in treating diseases, burns and other disfiguring conditions, our cosmetic and reconstructive specialists repair and enhance the appearance of the skin, face and other areas. 

Spine surgery (specialized surgery)

Back and neck conditions such as scoliosis, a herniated disc or a pinched nerve can cause pain and impair normal movement. Our surgeons perform back surgery and neck surgery using minimally invasive approaches. These include spinal fusion, laminectomy and discectomy.
