Experienced Specialists Care for All Your Surgical Needs
- Leading-Edge Options for Your Comprehensive Surgical Care

You can approach your surgery with comfort and confidence. At our connected AdventHealth hospitals in Killeen and Lampasas, formerly Metroplex Health System, you have a team of surgical experts on-call to deliver advanced surgical care and compassionate support. Let us be your guide back to the active life you enjoy. Whenever possible, we use minimally invasive surgeries that reduce pain and recovery time. But if a more conventional approach is the best option, we have the surgeons to handle that, too. Regardless of which approach is right for you, our talented surgeons and specialists offer a range of advanced surgical care options, including:
Endometrial Ablations – Use radio frequencies to cease excessive uterine bleeding. Our minimally invasive approach means you can return home the same day as your surgery and heal in a matter of days. This makes endometrial ablation a preferable alternative to a hysterectomy, which generally requires up to six weeks of healing time.
GreenLight PVP Laser Procedures – Are a safer, more effective alternative to conventional treatment for enlargement of the prostate. In this procedure, we perform photoselective vaporization of the prostate to provide quick relief from urinary symptoms. GreenLight combines the best elements of conventional methods like TURP and heat treatments, but uses a minimally invasive approach, which allows you to return home just a few hours after the procedure and return to your normal activities within days.
Kyphoplastic and Vertebroplastic Procedures – Stabilize spinal fractures and reduce back pain. Studies show that these procedures can significantly improve your mobility and quality of life. Our kyphoplastic and vertebroplastic procedures usually take about an hour, and you'll likely be able to return home the same day or the next morning.
Single-Site Laparoscopic Procedures – Rely on one point of entry, allowing us to operate through only a small incision. For you, that means less scarring and a faster recovery time.
Your goal is to reclaim your active life. That's our goal for you, too. Turn to us for the comprehensive surgical care you need.
