GENERAL VASCULAR
&
MINIMALLY INVASIVE SURGERY

We have specialized in minimally invasive procedures since 1991 when laparoscopic technology was first available. Since then, many new procedures and techniques have been incorporated into our daily practice. Often, our expertise in laparoscopic surgery allows our patients to have procedures performed on an outpatient basis when the alternative could mean several days in the hospital followed by weeks of recovery at home.

The future of surgery has been greatly improved since the introduction of robotic assisted surgery. The robotic setup allows for a much-improved visualization, greater dexterity, and less invasive approach compared to traditional open surgeries. The da Vinci Surgical System is available for many surgical applications.

The benefits of minimally invasive surgery include:

• Less post-operative pain
• Faster recovery from surgery
• Shorter hospital stay
• Quicker return to work and normal activities
• Improved cosmetic result

Even in the most experienced hands, not all procedures are possible or safe to perform laparoscopically or robotically. Our vast experience will help us determine the best treatment for any given surgical problem.
