Recent advances in surgical technology and skills allow us to offer minimally invasive of Laparoscopic approaches to a variety of surgical conditions traditionally treated with larger incisions or "open surgery."
Some of the procedures for which we are able to offer minimally invasive approaches in select patients:
Colon resection (colectomy)
Nissen Fundoplication (anti-reflux or GERD surgery)
Hernia repair (incisional, abdominal, and inguinal)
Varicose vein treatments
Appendectomy
Cholecystectomy
Splenectomy
Summaries of these procedures and other useful information on minimally invasive surgery can be found on the SAGES website (Society of American Gastrointestinal and Endoscopic Surgeons).
