Surgery
Surgery is located on the third floor of the East Wing. Inpatient and outpatient surgeries are performed in five surgical suites and one endoscope room, which are fully equipped to Joint Commission standards. Surgeons on staff perform an ever-increasing wide variety of surgeries (see list here). Surgical nursing personnel are experienced and well trained, and the department continually upgrades its services and equipment.

State-of-the-art laparoscopic equipment allows less invasive procedures, which may result in faster recoveries, less scarring and discomfort, and improved outcomes. Inpatients return to the post-anesthesia recovery unit (PACU) following their surgery, while outpatients return to the outpatient preparation and recovery area. In both areas, patients receive constant attention from the nursing staff until they are ready to return to their rooms or to be discharged.

Chemotherapy treatments, blood transfusions, IV therapy, IV injections, bone marrow extractions and pain management therapy are done in the outpatient surgery treatment room, part of the outpatient preparation and recovery area.

A volunteer surgical hostess provides refreshment to family members in the surgical waiting area, and relays information to them concerning the patient's status. Hostesses are members of the City Hospital Auxiliary.

Consultation rooms are available in the surgical waiting area so the surgeon may confer privately with the family. Many types of surgeries and procedures are performed at East Liverpool City Hospital, including general (abdominal), gynecological, urological, eye, ear-nose-throat, orthopedic, vascular and thoracic. Abdominal surgeries often may be done with the less invasive laparoscope.
