Board-certified surgeons. State-of-the-art technology. Outcome-driven and innovative surgical practices. Sentara is raising the standard for surgical care in Virginia and northeast North Carolina.

Our surgical services teams are committed to providing high-quality care in a comfortable setting. Whether your surgery is inpatient or outpatient, you will receive personal care from our experienced surgeons and nurses. Often working in conjunction with colleagues in other specialties, our staff emphasizes collaboration with referring physicians as essential to optimal patient care.

We recognize each patient's unique needs, and we work together with you and your referring physicians to ensure the best possible patient care.

We offer a wide range of services, including:

  • General surgery (gallbladder, colon resection, hernia, and appendectomy)
  • Specialized cancer-related surgeries
  • Neurosurgery
  • Orthopedic surgery
  • Spine surgery
  • Thoracic surgery
  • Vascular surgery
  • Weight-loss surgery (gastric bypass and gastric sleeve)
  • Wherever possible, we use minimally invasive procedures, which result in fewer incisions, less pain and shorter hospital stays.

Whether your surgery is inpatient or outpatient, you will receive personalized care from our experienced surgeons and nurses in a beautiful, convenient and comfortable setting.

Technology to help you

SmarTrack

At some of our surgery centers, you and your family will be able to use SmarTrack, an interactive tool that allows loved ones to monitor your surgery status from the time you register through discharge.

How does SmarTrack work?

  • We assign each patient a Patient ID number during registration.
  • We post the ID number on the SmarTrack screens, along with information about the patient's current location, status and surgery start time.
  • We use varying colors to indicate the patient's status, as explained in a key to the right of the SmarTrack screen.

Smart OR

Our Smart OR system at select Sentara centers uses high-tech, voice-activated controls to streamline every motion of the surgical team, allowing them to focus their attention on the patient. The Smart OR system controls room lighting, table position, pumps, X-ray viewing and other functions through voice commands, saving time and improving efficiency for our skilled surgical team. The Smart OR not only saves valuable time during surgery, it also improves patient care.
