Surgery
Inpatient & Outpatient Surgeries at Ridgecrest Regional Hospital
Surgery is recommended for patients when it becomes clear that less invasive, conservative treatments will not be enough to facilitate a full recovery. At RRH, we understand that surgery can seem intimidating. We strive to make this experience as easy for you as possible. Our knowledgeable team can explain how the procedure takes place, why they believe it will help, and what the possible risks are.
We offer many different types of inpatient and outpatient surgeries, including:
- General Surgery

We take our responsibility to you and your family seriously, and we go above and beyond to make sure everything is in place for a safe, effective procedure.
What is Minimally Invasive Surgery?
When your doctor recommends a surgical procedure for you, they might mention that it is minimally invasive. Minimally invasive surgeries have become some of the most common and safest procedures in medicine. Unlike standard “open’ surgery, only small incisions need to be made during minimally invasive operations- if any need to be made at all. Instead of cutting patients open to examine the operating area, doctors use imaging devices such as endoscopes to view the body’s internal structures and perform the operation.
Because fewer incisions are needed, there is less risk of infection in minimally invasive surgery. This also means that patients recover from the procedure faster and should be able to return to normal activities faster than they would have had they undergone open surgery. Not all surgeries can be minimally invasive, but for those that can, these are almost always the preferred option.
