Our mission: To provide the best surgical care to our patients, with knowledge and compassion, using the latest technology available.
Even though our practice is new, we have been designated as a Center of Excellence for Bariatric Surgery by Blue Cross and Blue Shield of North Carolina.
Sourthern Surgical specializes in General Surgery, however, each of our surgeons has specific areas of concentration or interest. Those areas include:

Laparoscopic Surgery
Laparoscopic Surgery is perfomed through a minimally invasive approach (keyhole surgery), using small incisions with the help of a camera, thus decreasing the degree of patient discomfort and recovery time. While it is often desirable to have operations performed through laparoscopic technique, not all procedures lend themselves to this approach. The following are some of the procedures that we perrform laproscopically:
* Gastric Bypass surgery for morbid obesity
* Gallbladder surgery for gallstones or gallbladder dysfunction
* Heartburn surgery (Nissen Fundoplication)
* Hernia surgery
* Colon surgery for cancer or benign disease (diverticulosis, diverticulitis)
* Small intestinal surgery
* Spleen surgery (removal)
* Adrenal gland surgery
* Surgery for adhesions
* Surgery for Achalasi

Breast Surgery
Breast surgery is an ever-changing specialty. Our surgeons use a new technique called "Mammosite", a minimally inavasive approach to breast surgery, which delivers radiation therapy to the breast in five days rather than the traditional six weeks. Our surgeons perform the following procedures:
* Sentinal Lymph Node biopsy
* Lumpectomy and Axillary Lymph Node biopsy
* Mastectomy

Open Surgery
There are some operations best performed using the "open" technique. The following are open procedures performed by our surgeons:
* Pancreatic surgery for cancer or benign disease
* Liver surgery for cancer or benign disease
* Hemorrhoid surgery using minimally invasive approach with PPH
