Lung Transplantation : Replacing a diseased lung with a healthy lung from a deceased donor, performed to improve breathing and quality of life for patients with end-stage lung disease.

Liver Transplantation : Replacing a diseased or failing liver with a healthy liver from a deceased donor (cadaveric transplant) or a living donor (living donor transplant) to address liver failure and improve survival rates.

Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting (CABG) : Surgical procedure to improve blood flow to the heart by bypassing blocked or narrowed coronary arteries with grafts from other blood vessels, typically used to treat coronary artery disease and prevent heart attacks.

Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery (MISS) : This surgical approach uses smaller incisions and specialized techniques to access and treat spinal conditions like herniated discs, spinal stenosis, and fractures. Compared to traditional open surgery, MISS often leads to less muscle disruption, reduced blood loss, faster recovery times, and smaller scars. Surgeons utilize various tools like tubes, retractors, and microscopes to operate through the incisions.

Aortic Valve Replacement : This surgical procedure aims to replace a diseased or damaged aortic valve with an artificial heart valve. It can be performed through traditional open surgery or minimally invasive techniques like transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR). TAVR uses a catheter-based approach to insert the new valve through an artery in the leg or groin, offering a potentially less invasive option for suitable patients.

Eye Surgery : Encompasses a diverse range of surgical procedures addressing various eye conditions. The specific approach depends on the particular condition being treated. Cataract surgery and LASIK are common examples, aiming to correct vision problems. Other surgeries address eye diseases like glaucoma or retinal detachment. Minimally invasive techniques utilizing lasers and microscopes are increasingly preferred when possible, offering potential benefits like faster healing and reduced discomfort.
