Each day, 20-25 patients have surgery at St. Vincent Healthcare - about 8,000 patients a year. The combination of the latest technology and quality care means surgery with less pain, less intrusion and faster recovery than the past. Patients undergoing invasive procedures frequently are no longer required to spend the night before surgery in the hospital.
- Surgery Plus staff specialize in same-day prepartation of patients for their surgery or procedure. Care after the procedure is also provided for those patients undergoing complex outpatient surgery or invasive procedures.
- The Yellowstone Surgery Center is a free-standing ambulatory surgery center that combines the latest technology and treatment with comfortable surroundings.
- Gastric Bypass Surgery, the surgery for weight loss, is offered in Billings. This surgery, referred to as bariatric surgery or gastric bypass surgery, promotes weight loss by restricting food intake and/or interrupting digestive processes.
- Blood Conservation Program is offered for pediatric or adult patients who do not wish to receive blood or blood products. It is our goal to ensure access to high quality medical care that respects personal and religious convictions.
