RWJUH now offers a full range of bariatric (relating to the stomach and intestinal tract) procedures for the treatment of morbid obesity. These include laparoscopic gastric bypass and gastric banding. In addition, the hospital's program offers dietary follow up, support and nutritional counseling.

RWJUH is among the elite few hospitals offering a minimally invasive technique for the replacement and repair of the mitral valve. The technique eliminates the need to break open the rib cage, greatly reducing the complication rate. The approach is less painful and has fewer post-operative complications, such as bleeding or respiratory compromise. RWJUH offers cardiac brachytherapy, a catheter-based procedure used to treat arteries that have closed following balloon angioplasty. The catheter delivers radioactive "seeds" directly to the coronary blockage and in less than five minutes, the scar tissue blockage is cleared and the seeds are removed.
