SURGICAL TECHNIQUES
For each general surgery, our surgeons choose the most effective technique for you. Depending on your specific condition and overall health, we may recommend a care plan that includes one of these surgical techniques:
Robotic Assisted Surgery: This is a type of minimally invasive surgery that results in less blood loss, pain and scarring, as well as shorter recovery times than with traditional, open surgery. It involves a series of tiny incisions, through which our doctors insert very small instruments and a high-definition video camera. These tools are mounted on robotic arms that give your surgeon maximum range of motion and allow extremely precise movement.
Laproscopic Surgery: This type of surgery is also minimally invasive and has advantages such as minimal blood loss, pain and scarring. Recovery times with Laparoscopic Surgery are shorter than with traditional, open surgery. Like Robotic Assisted Surgery, it involves using several small incisions to perform the procedure.
Traditional Open Surgery: This type of surgery uses longer incisions that provide a direct view of the surgical area. We may recommend open surgery if it will have a better result and be safer for you. It may be used when your surgeon needs to see a very wide area or if you have scar tissue or other blockages that could interfere with the camera in a minimally invasive procedure.
