Wake Forest University Medical School & Baptist Medical Center
General Surgery
As a premier academic medical center, general surgery services at Wake Forest University Baptist Medical Center touch nearly every clinical service, from cardiovascular surgery to surgical oncology, neurosurgery to orthopedics, organ transplants to plastic and reconstructive surgery.
Specialists in Minimally-Invasive General Surgery
The current and future trend in surgery is a focus on minimally-invasive surgery, which not only reduces hospital stay, but offers superior patient outcomes and faster recovery. Wake Forest Baptist is nationally known for developing many new minimally-invasive general surgery techniques.
Wide Range of General Surgery Expertise
Of course, not all general surgery can be performed using a minimally-invasive technique. Information on the many types of surgery performed at Wake Forest Baptist is available on the BestHealth website or on each of the service line websites.
The Baptist medical center and its component institutions carry out a joint mission of patient care, education, research and community service. The partnership includes these hospitals in North Carolina: Wake Forest University School of Medicine, North Carolina Baptist Hospital, and Wake Forest University Physicians.
