What is minimally invasive, laparoscopic surgery?

Many surgeries now can be performed with several tiny incisions ranging from 3mm-12mm. A camera is inserted inside your abdomen, and your operation can be performed with long instruments rather than the traditional open approach (large incision on your abdomen).

Laparoscopic surgery has been shown to shorten hospital stays and decrease overall pain. In addition, patients return to work quicker with a more rapid recovery as well as cost savings. Please see this link below for more information:

LESS invasive surgery?
​Maybe you can have even SMALLER incisions for your surgery.

What is Robotic surgery?

Robotic Surgery is a method of minimally invasive surgery in which the da Vinci robot is used. Operations are performed with several small incisions and features a magnified 3D high-definition vision system with tiny wristed instruments that bend and rotate providing enhanced vision, precision and control.

The surgeon is 3 feet away from you operating via a console and is in complete control of the operation. For more information please refer to the following link:
