The Department of Surgical Services is actually five departments under one roof:

• Sterile Processing & Supplies
• Operating Rooms
• Outpatient Services
• Post Anesthesia Care Unit
• Endoscopy

The 4 suite Surgical Services Unit is equipped with state-of-the-art instruments and scopes for general surgical and orthopedic surgical procedures. Three operating suites, and one dedicated C-section suite are spacious, and designed with efficiency and safety in mind.

The hospital utilizes the newest high-tech equipment, and recently expanded its services to include the following:

• Orthopedic (including arthroscopic) Surgeries
• Dental Restoration
• Maxillofacial and Oral Surgeries
• Ear, Nose, and Throat
• Gynecology, featuring our new Encore Ultrapulse Carbon Dioxide Laser
• Urology
• General Surgeries, including minimally invasive Laparoscopic Surgeries
• Cataract Surgeries
• Podiatry
• Spine Surgery

Individualized care for each surgical patient is provided by a team of experienced professionals, which includes the Surgeon, Anesthesiologist, Registered Nurse, and Surgical Technologist. The intraoperative team celebrates over 110 combined years of experience.

The 8-bed Outpatient Day Surgery unit covers a wide variety of procedures. Patients begin their surgical experience in this area. Outpatient surgical patients are able to leave within a few hours after the procedure, so that they are able to rest in their own homes the same day. Diagnostic endoscopic procedures such as colonoscopies and esophagogastroduodenoscopies are performed in our Endoscopic Suite. The hospital recently received its new Olympus scopes that make these procedures more efficient for the physician and easier for the patient. Patients may also come to the Outpatient Department for blood transfusions and pre-operative testing.

Patient documentation by nursing staff and physicians is done through intra-operative measures which means a totally paperless environment for the unit.

Great pride is taken in serving patients not only from Yukon and Mustang, but also from Newcastle, Blanchard, Tuttle, Hinton, El Reno, Chickasha, Weatherford, and Oklahoma City. Patients and their families come to ICanadian Valley Hospital for their surgical needs not only because of the brand new facility, equipment, and the convenient parking, but the personal care proudly provided by the staff.
