A laparoscope is a slim telescope that is easily slipped through a small incision, directly into the abdomen whereby the doctor may see right into the stomach.
Laparoscopic surgery is most often an outpatient procedure. It is much faster than other types of surgeries and healing is faster because the incision is much smaller. Another benefit is that you will sleep in your own bed that same night.
The last decade has seen tremendous advances in the field of minimally invasive and laparoscopic surgery in gynecology and reproductive medicine.
As a result of new instrumentation and technologies available to the advanced gynecologic laparoscopist, hysterectomies and other major surgeries may often be avoided without compromising the effectiveness of a treatment.
“Medical Doctor“, your source for state-of-the art general and minimally invasive surgery. We offer a comprehensive approach to general surgery with unsurpassed superior service.
We are pleased to offer our patients the most advanced surgical techniques, including laparoscopic surgery, a minimally invasive surgery that uses small incisions rather than the single large incision used during traditional open surgery.
Using a laparoscope, or small tube with a camera on the end, the surgeon can see close-up images of the areas being operated on, via a video monitor. The benefits of laparoscopic surgery over traditional open surgery include:
- Reduced pain
- Less scarring
- Shorter recovery times
General surgeons at “Medical Doctor” have pioneered laparoscopic techniques for the management of:
* Gall bladder disease
* Common bile duct stones
* Anti-reflux surgery
* Inguinal and ventral hernias
* Appendectomy,
* Placement of dialysis catheters
* Colon, small bowel and gastric resections
* Solid organ removal.
Minimally invasive technology is completely changing the way physicians approach surgical procedures. If you have any questions, please feel free to get in touch with us and arrange an appointment at (561) 123-1234.
