When illness or injury requires you to have inpatient or outpatient surgery, North Kansas City Hospital is prepared to help you before, during and after the procedure. We offer surgery services for children and adults.

Our team of skilled surgeons and staff members provide exceptional care by using state-of-the-art technology to ensure you receive the best treatment.

Keeping your family informed during your surgery is a priority for us. Your family members receive updates while you're in surgery. They'll wait in a comfortable area with access to free coffee, televisions and other amenities. If your family chooses to leave the waiting area, pagers are available so staff members can contact them if necessary.

Inpatient Surgery
North Kansas City Hospital is on the forefront of new technology that can lead to quicker patient recovery and a return to normal activities. The unit has 65 beds in a spacious area with all private rooms. The surgeons and staff provide unparalleled level of comprehensive care, which includes a unit based case manager, social worker, physical therapy room and classrooms.

Robotic Surgery

New technology makes it possible for some surgeries to be performed in a way that is more comfortable and gets you back on your feet more quickly than traditional surgery. One such ‘less invasive’ procedure is called robotic surgery. The equipment used in robotic surgery is nothing like you’d see in Saturday morning cartoons. Instead, the robot responds with the hand-guided expertise of skilled surgeons who perform urological (bladder and prostate) and gynecological (female reproductive system) procedures in less time with amazing accuracy and outcomes.

Outpatient Surgery
Health Services Pavilion at North Kansas City Hospital is the location for many of the outpatient surgeries performed by Hospital staff. Patients are cared for in a comfortable environment and go home the same day. A private elevator and exit is used upon patient discharge. The skilled surgical team performs procedures in the areas of cosmetic and plastic surgery, ear, nose and throat, gynecology, dental, ophthalmology, orthopedics, pain management and general surgery. Outpatient surgery can lead to a quicker recovery and a return to your normal activities.

Swinging Through Surgery—a special pre-surgery program for children.
Is it possible that surgery could be fun and exciting? We try to make it so for kids. Once a child is scheduled for surgery, he or she receives an invitation to a “Jungle Party” held in a special jungle room. In this fun atmosphere, children see hands-on demonstrations of surgery equipment and meet surgery staff dressed in surgery scrubs. They learn what to bring, what will happen and how they might feel. This is also a good opportunity for parents to ask surgery staff any questions about their child’s surgery. Kids don’t leave empty-handed. They get a special jungle bag of goodies.

The jungle theme continues on the day of surgery. Your child starts in the village, just outside the jungle. The child gets to pick a surgery buddy (lion, money, tiger or elephant) and drive a safari jeep into the surgery area.
