At Taylor Hospital, we provide the personal care and the attention our patients find so comforting while offering the benefits of state-of-the-art technological advances in surgery. 

A Highly Experienced Team

Taylor Hospital surgical teams have decades of experience, specializing in a full-range of inpatient and outpatient procedures from general surgery to advanced laparoscopic and laser surgeries. Surgeons on staff at Taylor are board-certified and are assisted by perioperative registered nurses, many of whom are Certified Operating Room Nurses (CNOR). Other members of your surgical team include anesthesiologists, Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetists (CRNA), registered nurses, surgical technicians and physician assistants. The entire surgical team works together to offer our patients individualized treatment before, during and after surgery.

The Most Advanced Technology

Taylor Hospital's surgical suites are equipped with the most advanced technology to deliver anesthesia and monitor patients throughout their surgical experience. In addition, patients benefit from our state-of-the-art video, laparoscopic, laser and bipolar cautery equipment.

•   Laparoscopic technology enables surgeons to directly examine the abdominal organs without large incisions. Using this technology, gall bladder surgery, for example, can be done as an outpatient or overnight stay procedure with far less postoperative recovery time and pain. Laparoscopic technology is also used for various types of gynecological and thoracic surgery.

•   Lasers used at Taylor make possible minimally invasive procedures that promote faster recovery.

•   Bipolar cautery is a means of vessel closure that reduces operative time as well as the amount of blood lost during surgery. It also may reduce postoperative pain. Taylor is one of the only hospitals in Delaware County currently offering a unique, leading-edge technology that utilizes bipolar cautery. The Taylor surgical staff uses this technology for many surgical procedures, including colon and rectal, gynecological, prostate and other urological, otolaryngology/head and neck, thoracic and vascular.

Anesthesia Tailored to Your Personal Needs

Anesthesiologists are key members of your surgical team. Taylor Hospital anesthesiologists have years of experience with anesthetic agents and recognize that each patient has a unique set of medical requirements. As a result of this patient-centered approach to care, every Taylor Hospital patient meets with an anesthesiologist prior to surgery to discuss his or her medical history and a plan of care. This discussion enables the anesthesiologist to tailor anesthetic and pain management techniques to each patient's specific needs.

In addition, Taylor Hospital anesthesiologists and staff work very closely with patients who have pain management problems.
