Methods for Surgery

Modern tools, technology, and techniques allow our surgeons to perform minimally invasive operations with a high level of skill and precision. A minimally invasive procedure may be used to get a closer look at the organs inside your body, diagnose a condition, and collect tissue samples for testing. This type of surgery may be performed through small incisions in the skin or another access point. Common minimally invasive procedures include:

  • Laparoscopy
  • Endoscopy
  • Colonoscopy
  • Gastroscopy

All surgical procedures come with its own set of risks, advantages, and recovery times. During your evaluation, your doctor will explore the best options for you and answer any questions you may have. It’s important to note that each patient is different, and courses of treatment will vary based on the individual needs and risk factors.
