CHA Perioperative Services consists of Orthopedics, General Surgery, Ophthalmology, Urology, Plastics, Podiatry, Vascular, Endoscopy, and many other services. Cambridge Health Alliance's experienced Surgery team has performed thousands of procedures at some of Boston's finest teaching hospitals. Today, we have recruited highly-regarded surgeons and are able to provide state-of-the-art care in our operating rooms. The department has grown significantly, adding skilled surgeons who bring specialized care to our communities. Our most recent initiatives include a minimally invasive surgery program, a hepatobiliary and pancreatic program, and a multidisciplinary breast center. All of our Surgeons handle routine cases, as well as more complex procedures. Whenever possible, we use minimally invasive techniques to reduce the discomfort and recovery time of surgery. Many procedures can now be done on an outpatient basis with patients going home the same day. These procedures are performed at Cambridge and Everett Hospital, and outpatient Endoscopy is performed at our Somerville Campus.
