Surgery at Penn Highlands

General surgery at Penn Highlands is always on the "cutting edge" as it continues to reinvent itself to the benefit of the surgical patient. With continuing advancements in instrumentation and technology, major surgical operations are now replaced with minimally invasive laparoscopic techniques. These state-of-the-art procedures reduce pain, accelerate recuperation, and reduce cost while still producing the same positive results. Surgical research into disease processes such as immunology and genetics have also produced advances in treatment options specific to individual patients.
