General Surgery

Expert Surgeons, Cutting-Edge Technology

General surgery refers to the surgical treatment of the abdominal organs, such as the intestines, esophagus, stomach, small bowel, colon, liver, pancreas, gallbladder, bile ducts, thyroid gland, and lungs. At Archbold, our general surgeons are also equipped to treat non-cosmetic problems related to skin, breasts, and hernias.

Archbold is proud to be on the forefront of surgical innovation, making it a consistent priority to bring the most advanced technology and techniques to Southwest Georgia. Leading these advancements is da Vinci robotic surgery, a minimally invasive alternative to traditional open surgery. Unlike open surgery, which often requires large incisions, the da Vinci surgical system helps surgeons perform even the most complex operations through very small incisions, using computer technology and specially designed tools.

Archbold's surgeons are trained to complete high-level procedures and our team has a reputation for high-quality results. Our general surgery team at Archbold can treat multiple conditions through operative care, including the following and more:
