Little Company of Mary offers a full range of surgical services through its two hospitals - Little Company of Mary Hospital, San Pedro Peninsula Hospital – as well as same-day surgical services through the Little Company of Mary Outpatient Care Center - Beach Cities in Redondo Beach.

Surgery may be used for diagnosis – to determine the cause of a disease - or it may be used to treat an injury or disorder, cure a disease, relieve suffering or prolong life. As medical knowledge has increased and surgical procedures have grown more complex, areas of specialties have developed within the field of surgery. Surgeons who wish to practice in these fields must complete extensive training and must be certified by individual professional groups within the chosen specialty.

Accompanying each surgical specialty is a brief description of the type of surgery, as well as a selection of the top surgical procedures routinely performed under each pecialty.
