Surgery

Marshall offers surgical procedures at Marshall Hospital in Placerville and the Marshall Surgery Center in Cameron Park. Where you have your procedure will depend on the type of surgery or procedure you’re having, as well as your surgeon and scheduling needs.

Our surgery staff is experienced and caring, consisting of board certified surgeons and nursing/clinical staff who are highly trained in preoperative and postoperative care for patients of all ages. Regardless of whether or not you have had surgery before or this is your first experience, our team will guide you through every step of the process to ensure a safe operation and speedy recovery.

Surgical Technology

Marshall has invested in modern technology and equipment needs for our local community. Our operating suite is dedicated to providing advanced, minimally invasive surgeries utilizing the da Vinci robotic surgery system.

Your successful outcome and comfort, whether as an outpatient or inpatient, is our priority. We explore minimally invasive treatments before recommending open surgery. A minimally invasive operation requires few, if any, incisions, resulting in shorter recovery times and a reduced risk of infections. Most minimally invasive procedures can be done on an outpatient basis.

  • I want to take this opportunity to thank ALL staff at Marshall Hospital for taking such special care of my sister-in-law (and me as a care-giver) during her recent surgery. Everyone did a remarkable job at making a stressful time more comfortable. We both appreciate the professional and caring way in which you all performed your difficult and demanding jobs. I must single out her surgeon, Dr. Taylor Vance -- he is a special person who truly cares about his patients, has a great bedside manner and goes above and beyond what is expected of him. After all that, my sister-in-law then received thank you cards in the mail from Marshall staff and Dr. Vance's office. What a thoughtful and talented group of medical professionals we have here in P Town!

  • On September 6th I had my gallbladder removed by Dr. Lussenden. He and his surgical team were amazing! I wasn't nervous because each of them took the time to go over everything that would be happening to me. They kept me laughing, and calm. When i woke up up My nurse Jason was so nice, he didn't rush me to wake up and was so kind when my stomach didn't agree with the motion of moving my bed to recovery. A day that should've made me nervous and scared was turned into a calm experience.
