Read below for more information about the services that are carried out at the clinic.

1. Breast Surgery - is performed under general anesthesia and most patients can return home on the same day. The surgeon will mark the tissue and remove it either for biopsy or for treatment of the affected zone.

- Lumpectomy procedure with sentinel node biopsy is a procedure performed to remove cancerous cells from breast tissue. The procedure can result in a loss of 50-75% of the breast tissue and asymmetrical shaping. 

-Mastectomy - is a radical procedure for breast cancer treatment, that involves removing the breast that is affected. 
The clinic works in partnership with a plastic surgeon who can perform surgery that will retrieve your breasts after the mastectomy.

2. Bariatric Surgery - is a procedure that aims to reduce the weight in people with an excessive body mass. Besides being overweight this group of patients may have diabetes, high blood pressure, acid reflux, sleep apnea, high cholesterol, degenerative arthritis, depression, and fatty liver disease. 
So the bariatric surgery will improve not just their weight, but also their quality of life.

The doctors have vast experience in the field of bariatric surgery. Dr. Hoeltgen has over 20 years of experience, and Dr. Wool, over 10 years of experience.
The doctors use the following surgical techniques:
- Laparoscopic adjustable band (lap band) - is a procedure that reduces the patient’s stomach volume by placing a band around the entry of the stomach, which allows a small amount of food to enter at every meal.
- Gastric bypass -  is a procedure that aims to bypass the physiological passage of the food, by creating a small pouch at the top of the stomach and connecting it directly to the middle portion of the small intestine. 
- Gastric sleeve - involves removing more than 85 percent of the stomach. The procedure can be converted to a gastric bypass if the patient has indications for a greater weight loss.

3. Colon Cancer surgery
The removal of cancer colon at Barrington Surgeons is carried out via a laparoscopic technique, which is a minimally invasive method that allows the removal of the damaged part of the intestine.
