Minimally Invasive Surgery (MIS) Services

MIS features exciting new technologies, all of which are aimed at improving patient’s recovery after surgery and helping people return to their previous quality of life with as little disruption as possible.

This is achieved through the use of digital cameras and small incisions for access to the abdominal cavity through which many types of special instruments are inserted using ports, which usually require less than 1 cm incisions. We have special expertise in this approach to many common surgical problems.

Please feel free to peruse the descriptions of the types of procedures that we commonly perform.

Thanks very much for your interest and if you have any questions feel free to contact us.
