From preadmission to postoperative care, Mission Regional Medical Center’s Surgical Services provides comprehensive, individualized treatment for every patient. This care most often begins during pre-admission, where registered nurses interview patients several days prior to their scheduled hospital visit. These nurses gather patient information and relay important pre-surgery instructions. By carefully following these instructions, each patient plays a significant role in the success of their procedure.

Mission Regional Medical Center’s Surgical Services oversees 6 state of the art in-patient operating suites, all staffed by registered nurses and Certified Surgical Technicians. These operating suites employ state-of-the-art equipment, so physicians and the surgical team can create a safe, controlled environment for every patient. Today, improved procedures and techniques allow many patients to have surgery on an outpatient basis. For these patients, Mission Regional Medical Center’s offers patients the same quality and high standards maintained by our inpatient surgical program, but in a more convenient setting.
