• Breast Surgery - Biopsies, mastectomies with and without lymph node dissection, and reconstructive surgeries.
• Eye Surgery - Limited to three times a month, includes plastics, cataracts, and vitrectomies.
• Brachytherapy - Assisting with device insertions, primarily handled by the radiation oncology team.
• Plastic Surgery - Usually performed in conjunction with breast or gender affirmation procedures.
• Uro-Gynecology - Sling placements and anterior-posterior repairs.
• Robotics - Mainly focused on urology and gynecology procedures, with some bariatric cases.

The unit operates Monday through Friday and typically concludes operations by 7:00 PM to 8:00 PM. Early completion may result in floating to other departments to fulfill staffing needs. The main operating room handles various other surgical services. Obligations include two weekend call shifts per contract, with no additional weekend requirements.
