Surgical Services

Lowell General Hospital offers a full spectrum of surgical services at the main campus and the Surgery Center of the Merrimack Valley at Lowell General Chelmsford. Using state-of-the-art technology and minimally invasive approaches, we provide expert surgical care with high-quality clinical outcomes.

With our collaborative approach, our surgical team works with your primary care physician to find you the most appropriate surgeon for your condition and ensure that everyone involved in your care is working together throughout the whole process to ensure the best-possible results.

The Main Operating Room (OR) at Lowell General Hospital is staffed 24/7 to accommodate surgery at any time. The expanded suite at the main campus includes 13 operating rooms, including specially-designed suites for orthopedic cases. The recovery area has 12 bays and a specialized peri-operative nursing team provides close monitoring of patients during the recovery process.
