Minimally invasive surgery
Minimally invasive surgery is an effective surgical method that is less intrusive than traditional surgery. By using small incisions and instruments, we are able to create positive surgical outcomes that typically have minimal scarring, faster recovery times and shorter hospital stays.

Why we offer minimally invasive and robotic surgery
We offer many types of minimally invasive surgeries, including laparoscopic and catheter-based procedures. To help you understand why we offer these techniques, it can help to know a little more about them, so we have provided the details on one approach — robot-assisted surgery — below.
How robotic surgery works
- Postoperative computer-generated anatomical maps of the surgical site in your body
- 3D high-definition visualization of the surgical site during the surgery
- Mechanical arms with multiple joints and superior abilities to rotate and maneuver
- Tiny surgical instruments
