Surgery

Our surgeons are constantly exploring and adopting new technologies that help us achieve both goals, focusing on conducting operations that require the least amount of incisions possible. In addition, we are training the next generation to help patients experience successful outcomes and heal as quickly as possible.

Earning Your Trust

Minimally invasive surgery means smaller incisions, less post-operative pain, decreased need for pain medication, and minimized hospital stays. Our surgeons utilize state-of-the-art tools to protect our patients’ health, including:

  • Endoscopic and laparoscopic-assisted surgery
  • Robotic surgery
  • Transanal endoscopic microsurgery (TEM)
  • Transanal minimally invasive surgery (TAMIS)

What to Expect

  • Your surgeon will perform an exam to determine the best path forward for you
  • Since not all patients are candidates for minimally invasive surgery, you’ll discuss with your surgeon if you are a candidate for minimally invasive surgery and which approach is appropriate for you
  • We’ll work with you to create an individualized plan including the right procedure and proper follow-up

Our Patient Stats

Our unique combination of world-class research, training and patient experience means the best possible care for every individual who comes to us.

  • Our surgical length of stay average is under 5 days (4.76 days)

Innovative Treatment Options Using Minimally Invasive Techniques

Laparoscopic Assisted Surgery

This minimally invasive surgery involves the use of small ports that are inserted through the abdominal wall. Fine instruments are passed through a channel in these ports to perform the surgery.

Robotically Assisted Surgery

This minimally invasive surgery involves the use of several small ports placed through the abdominal wall.  Instruments are placed through the ports and surgeon-guided robotic arms that help perform precise dissection with enhanced visualization.
