Many cases can now be treated through same-day surgical procedures at the UConn Health Surgery Center. Located within the UConn Musculoskeletal Institute in Farmington, CT, the surgery center is a state-of-the-art facility that is specially designed for same-day surgery. Our hospital tower opened in 2016 and has dedicated space for orthopedic patients on the fifth floor. There are 28 private rooms, a specialized gym and rehabilitation room. The staff on the floor, including nurses, nurse practitioners, physical therapists, and hospitalists, are specially trained in orthopedic care. We offer room service-type dining, free Wi-Fi, and many other services during your stay.
A Research-Led Approach
As an academic medical center, we are fortunate to be on the leading edge of research, technology, and medical advancement. Unlike most hospitals in the region, we’re able to offer procedures like augmented reality spine surgery and 3D printing to help support cellular and tissue growth in musculoskeletal injuries.
Minimally Invasive Surgical Treatments for Orthopedic and Sports Medicine
Our orthopedic and sports medicine teams are well trained in minimally invasive surgical procedures. This is our preferred surgical method when possible due to the benefits it offers patients, such as at-home recovery and smaller incisions. Using a robotic guidance system, the minimally invasive procedures we perform range from the removal of herniated disc material to the correction of complex orthopedic conditions.
Open Surgery
If minimally invasive is not possible, our surgeons specialize in open orthopedic surgery procedures, ensuring precision, safety, and personalized care for you. Whether you're in need of a joint replacement, spinal surgery, or complex orthopedic interventions, our commitment to excellent open surgery techniques allows us to provide you with the highest level of surgical expertise and exceptional outcomes.
