signature surgery
St. Francis Signature Surgery creates a special surgery experience just for women. Some of the features of Signature Surgery include:
pre-surgical education
At St. Francis, patient education is important to us. We want you to feel prepared and to know exactly what to expect before, during and after your procedure. We have created a detailed patient guide so that you will know exactly what to expect before, during and after surgery. Remember this is just a guide your physician and nurse may add to or change some of the recommendations. Always use their recommendations first and ask questions if you are unsure of any information.
Please download and print the educational booklet, read it, and bring it to your Pre-Assessment appointment. At your Pre-Assessment appointment, a nurse will review the booklet with you to make sure you understand everything about the procedure that you will have.

As a Signature Surgery patient, you will stay in a customized room full of extra amenities. Your room will have a mini refrigerator, alarm clock with iPod dock, and a flat screen television. For your added comfort, we encourage you to bring your favorite snacks that can be kept in the refrigerator, and your pre-loaded iPod to listen to your favorite music while you recuperate.
convenience
As a Signature Surgery patient, your hospital registration and pre-assessment will be completed before the day of surgery.
