General Surgery
Watson Clinic’s general surgery team performs a comprehensive catalog of surgical procedures, from treatments for routine ailments to complex cancer-related operations.
These treatments include:
- gallstone procedures
- hernia repairs
- thyroid cysts
- hiatal hernia
- surgical treatments for cancers of the colon, skin, stomach, liver, pancreas and breast
- appendix removals and disorder treatments
- minimally-invasive splenectomies, parathyroid surgery, thyroid surgery, liver resections and pancreatic surgery
- laprosopic and minimally-invasive procedures utilizing the latest technologies.
Dr. Thomas Moskal is the first specialist in Lakeland to perform gallbladder removal procedures utilizing only a single 1-inch incision. Performed with
robotic surgery technologies, the procedure inspires a shorter hospital stay, a significantly faster recovery time, and a virtually scar-free result.
In addition to receiving outside referrals, the general surgery team collaborates closely with physicians throughout Watson Clinic and
Watson Clinic Cancer & Research Center, ensuring a smooth continuity of care for the patient.
