Leonidas G. Koniaris, MD, FACS Chief of Surgery, Methodist Hospital Vice Chair, Department of Surgery Thomas Jefferson University Hospital

The Department of Surgery at Jefferson’s Methodist Hospital performs a wide range of procedures – from general surgery to highly specialized breast and vascular procedures – in our new, state-of-the-art operating room (OR) suites. Each suite is equipped with leading-edge technology for both open and minimally invasive surgery.

Our Board certified general surgeons are highly experienced in performing:

• abdominal procedures
• breast biopsies and procedures, including reconstructive surgery
  
• thoracic procedures
• oncologic surgeries
• gall bladder and hernia procedures
• colorectal procedures
• endovascular procedures

Many of the above procedures can be performed using minimally invasive techniques that, for patients, can result in shorter hospital stays, less scarring and faster recovery times.
