Surgery

Renowned for its surgical expertise, Morton Plant Mease is home to many of the finest surgeons on Florida’s West Coast. Our surgeons were among the first in the U.S. to revolutionize the conventional method of abdominal aneurysm repair through the use of a stent. This minimally-invasive procedure leads to less pain and a quicker recovery. What’s more, only tiny key-hole incisions are required, as opposed to traditional open-heart surgery.

Today modern medicine relies on advances. The latest in medical technology is available at Morton Plant Mease. New radiology procedures allow surgeons to complete many procedures quickly and with minimal pain.
