Trinity Center for Advanced Surgery

Trinity's surgical services program is dedicated to providing state-of-the-art care to the Quad-City community.  We are committed to using highly skilled physicians, nurses and other health-care providers to offer excellence in patient care and outcomes.

We offer a wide spectrum of procedures, surgical therapies and leading-edge techniques and we handle more than 15,000 cases annually at all three of the Trinity campuses.

Before surgery you'll meet with your doctor, discuss risks and benefits, pre-register and complete necessary tests and procedures. It is important that you get answers to all of your questions. You should never hesitate to ask your physician or the Trinity staff any question you may have.

To prepare you for surgery, a surgical teaching nurse may meet with you or contact you by phone. This nurse gathers information regarding your general health. At this time, you may also be scheduled to meet with other health-care professionals.

Routine tests and procedures may be required to determine your state of health. If you have had recent tests, please tell the pre-surgical nurse. Tests will vary, but may include blood and urine tests, an EKG for heart analysis, and a chest X-ray to determine if your lungs are safe for surgery and anesthesia.
