Lake Charles Memorial offers a variety of surgical services, including
both minimally invasive outpatients and more acute inpatient procedures
and surgeries in southwest Louisiana. Our highly trained surgeons and
staff provide our patients with the most sophisticated surgical treatments
available with safety as our priority.
Our General Surgery services include:
Trauma surgery: Our team of surgeons provide comprehensive emergency care for patients
with critical injuries. As Southwest Louisiana's only Level III Trauma
Center, our multidisciplinary team ensures the fastest and most extensive
care for patients, no matter the type of severity of their illness or injury.
Minimally invasive surgery: Provides optimal outcomes due to small incisions, a rapid healing process,
shorter hospital stays and a more rapid return to normal activities.
Robotic-assisted surgery: Depending on the procedure, robotic-assisted surgery may result in a shorter
hospital stay, lower rate of complications, less post-operative pain and
faster return to normal activity compared to traditional surgical options.
Same day surgery: From pre-admission to discharge, we have designed Same Day Surgery with
you in mind. We routinely perform same-day surgery for umbilical and ventral
hernia repairs and gallbladder surgeries.
