LAPAROSCOPIC SURGERY OVERVIEW
Laparoscopic surgery is a more technical procedure that requires additional training and skill. Laparoscopic surgery consists of making several small incisions in the abdominal wall. The tip of a Laparoscope, a long flexible tube connected to a video camera, is inserted into one of the incisions. Through the other incisions, the surgeon will insert other special instruments, and using a video monitor, will guide these instruments to hold, cut, suture or staple inside the body. Once the surgery is completed, these small incisions are sutured closed.
BENEFITS TO LAPAROSCOPIC SURGERY
- Smaller surgical scars
- Reduced blood loss during surgery
- Less pain following surgery
- Faster return to normal activity
- Reduced risk of infection
LAPAROSCOPIC PROCEDURES
- Laparoscopic Nissan Fundoplication for Acid Reflux (GERD)
- Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy (Removal of the Gallbladder)
- Laparoscopic Hernia Repair (Incisional and Inguinal)
- Laparoscopic Colon Resection

ROBOTIC SURGERY
The da Vinci surgical system gives your surgeon an advanced set of instruments to use in performing robotic-assisted minimally invasive surgery. Your surgeon performs surgery with da Vinci by using instruments that he or she guides via a console. The da Vinci system translates your surgeon’s hand movements at the console in real time, bending and rotating the instruments while performing the procedure. The da Vinci vision system also delivers highly magnified, 3D high-definition views of the surgical area. The instrument size makes it possible for surgeons to operate through one or a few small incisions.
