GENERAL VASCULAR
&
MINIMALLY INVASIVE SURGERY

Laparoscopic surgery is an advanced surgical method that uses a specialized tool called a laparoscope. This is a thin, flexible tube that is equipped with a light, camera and numerous other surgical devices. With the laparoscope, your general surgeon can complete an entire procedure through three to five minor holes in the abdominal wall.

Laparoscopic surgery eliminates the need for one large incision or surgical wound, thus reducing the risks and complications associated with your operation.

During a laparoscopic procedure, the laparoscope projects an image of the area being treated onto a screen in the operating room. This provides your surgeon with an enhanced view of the area being treated, allowing for greater surgical precision.
