At Northwest Community Hospital, we provide you with comprehensive surgical services, ranging from minimally invasive laparoscopic and robotic surgeries to traditional surgical procedures. We use the latest surgical techniques to perform a variety of procedures, including:

• Back/spinal surgery
• Breast surgery

• Gallbladder surgery
• Kidney surgery
• Heart surgery
• Neurological surgery
• Neurointerventional surgery
• Orthopedic surgery (sports medicine)

We're also committed to offering the most advanced surgical technologies. That's why we were among the first hospitals to offer surgery using the da Vinci^® Robotic Surgical System for a wide range of prostate, kidney, gynecological and colorectal surgical procedures. And, with the newest next-generation da Vinci system—da Vinci Si™ HD3D—we’ve increased our ability to offer minimally invasive surgeries for a broader range of conditions. We’ve even been named a Robotic Surgery Epicenter for benign gynecologic surgery, the first of its kind in the tri-state area of Illinois, Wisconsin and Indiana.
