General Surgery
Despite its name, general surgery is anything but general.
We have a variety of surgery specialists here at University of Maryland Baltimore Washington Medical Center. Highly trained. Incredibly skilled. And genuinely concerned for their patients' care before, during and post operation.
Here are some of the more common procedures our general surgeons perform in our state-of-the-art operating room:
