| "I was talking to a
prospective surgical resident, and during the course of the
interview he asked me, "What does
it take to be a great surgeon?" As I contemplated, I looked
at my hands, and it came to me — Good hands, a good
head and a good heart. And so was born the theme for this
website." |
Over the past 30 years, there have been incredible advances in
the field of surgery, and many of these accomplishments have been
achieved in teaching environments such as Monmouth Medical Center
- one of New Jersey's largest community teaching hospitals. Advances
occur in teaching hospitals because physicians are in a position
to take part in important clinical research. As surgeons and teachers,
we constantly are challenged to stay current in our field, and
because of our commitment to teaching, Monmouth always has been
able to attract the top physicians in their fields who want to
work in an academic environment. Because of this commitment to
academic medical excellence, we have pioneered major changes in
surgical practice in New Jersey.
Monmouth Medical Center is the region's leader in surgical services,
earning a statewide reputation for excellence in the field. Throughout
its history, the hospital's highly skilled team of surgeons has
quickly adopted the latest surgical innovations - and this pioneering
spirit has set the stage for bringing the most-advanced minimally
invasive procedures to the region. >>>more
In 1990, Monmouth was the first hospital in
the state to perform laparoscopic cholecystectomy (gallbladder
removal), and soon after, intraoperative laparoscopic ultrasound.
Today, The Center for Minimally
Invasive Surgery at Monmouth Medical Center has brought cutting-edge
surgical treatment options for morbid obesity, severe heartburn,
benign and malignant colon disease, and a host of other disorders.
And through the renowned Jacqueline
M. Wilentz Comprehensive Breast Center, Monmouth offers advanced
breast surgery led by a team of the region's finest general and
plastic and reconstructive surgeons. Monmouth-affiliated surgeons
were the first in the region to offer protocol-tested sentinel
lymph node procedure - an alternative to major surgery in determining
whether a woman's breast cancer has spread to her lymph nodes .
Through this site, we provide details on our centers of surgical
excellence, as well as an overview of our scope of surgical services,
which include:
