Why Choose Surgical Services at Southern Regional

Southern Regional provides the area's most comprehensive surgical services-from state-of-the-art diagnostics to innovative, minimally invasive treatments with complete rehabilitation.  We always offer a high level of quality care.

Our expert surgeons perform more than 13,000 surgeries each year, ranging from minor outpatient surgeries to major procedures.

Southern Regional offers many advanced technologies for complex procedures-such as neurosurgery and spine reconstruction-that are not available anywhere else in the south metro Atlanta. 

State-of-the-art Technology

From spinal fusions to weight loss surgeries, we have the most advanced technologies that allow for innovative surgeries and quicker recoveries. For example, our Heart & Vascular Care Center has state-of-the-art technology to detect, diagnose and treat life-threatening cardiovascular conditions sooner.

Our Georgia Orthopedic Institute offers advanced joint replacement and minimally invasive surgical options that are designed to reduce pain and get you back to the activities you enjoy more quickly.

Southern Regional Bariatric Center offers The LAP-BAND® System procedure, which is safer and less invasive than gastric bypass because there is no stomach cutting or stapling. This surgery offers the advantages of less pain, a shorter hospital stay and a quicker recovery.

Robotic Surgery

Southern Regional is the only hospital in south metro Atlanta to offer the world-renown da Vinci Robot.

The da Vinci Surgical System®, which is powered by state-of-the-art robotic technology, is designed to enable complex surgery using a minimally-invasive approach. 

For the patient, a da Vinci procedure can offer all the potential benefits of a minimally invasive procedure, including less pain, less blood loss and less need for blood transfusions. Further, the da Vinci System means a shorter hospital stay, a quicker recovery and faster return to normal daily activities.
