Minimally
Invasive Surgery:
New techniques in recent years now avoid larger incisions.
This is a big step forward for patients, because they
are in the hospital shorter times, there is a significant
reduction in pain, and they are able to return to
normal activities sooner. Some of these procedures
are now done without an overnight stay in the hospital,
and even in some cases in the office.
University Surgeons offers our patients the latest
in many minimally invasive techniques, not only abdominal
surgery but also breast, rectum and hernia procedures.
Our doctors are among the first to offer these procedures,
and are responsible for teaching these procedures
in workshops throughout the country as well as at
surgical society seminars.
Below is a sampling of some of the minimally invasive
surgical techniques offered by University Surgeons:
