General surgeons in Horry County, South Carolina

Our trained and experienced general surgeons provide care for patients with specific medical issues, including the following procedures:

Abdominal surgery

Our surgeons treat a wide variety of abdominal conditions such as hernias and gallbladder issues, and perform procedures on most organs and structures within the abdominal cavity. Laparoscopic surgery is used when appropriate.

Conditions we treat include:

• Acute appendicitis and appendiceal cancer
• Bile duct surgery
• Chronic gallbladder disease and acute cholecystitis
• Diverticular disease
• Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD)
• Hiatal, groin, abdominal wall and umbilical hernias
• Liver surgery
• Pancreatic surgery
• Stomach surgery
• Upper gastrointestinal tract surgery

Cancer surgery

Depending on the cell type of cancer and the organ or structure affected, the surgeon's role in cancer care can vary greatly. We believe in a team approach to the diagnosis, treatment, and follow-up of patients and families affected by cancer.

Types of cancer we treat with surgery includes colon cancer, abdominal cancer and breast cancer. We also treat breast cancer with sentinel lymph node biopsies and vacuum-assisted biopsies, which take several tissue samples by inserting just one probe.

Digestive tract surgery

Our surgeons treat conditions of the digestive tract including the esophagus, stomach, duodenum, small intestine, colon, rectum and anus. They also treat disorders of the pancreas, liver, gallbladder and biliary system.

Endocrine surgery

We offer consultation and surgical treatment for disorders of the thyroid gland, parathyroid glands and adrenal glands.

Trauma surgery

If you are injured or have a life-threatening medical situation involving many parts of the body, our critical care trauma surgeons will take care of you in the hospital until you are stable. We work with Grand Strand Medical Center and our local emergency medical response team to care for patients.

Vascular surgery

Our highly trained vascular surgeons perform procedures for patients with disorders of the arteries and veins, including:

• Aneurysms
• Carotid artery disease
• Peripheral arterial disease
• Vascular trauma
• Venous disease

We also perform procedures for vascular and dialysis access.

Minimally invasive and robotic surgery

Whenever possible, we perform surgery using minimally invasive and robotic surgical techniques, which provide an alternative to both traditional open surgery and conventional laparoscopy. Robotic-assisted surgery refers to a procedure performed by robotic arms controlled by surgeon, enabling him or her to perform even the most complex and delicate procedures through very small incisions with great precision.

Benefits of minimally invasive and robotic surgery include reduced pain, less blood loss, minimal scarring and a quicker recovery.
