Minimally Invasive & Robotic Surgery 

Whenever possible, we use minimally invasive techniques to treat your condition. You benefit from less pain and scarring, as well as a faster recovery.

Our surgeons often use laparoscopy. This approach uses small incisions and thin surgical tools.

Robotic surgery is the most advanced type of minimally invasive surgery. Your surgeon makes small incisions. A robotic device controls tiny surgical instruments. Learn more about our robotic surgery program.
