Minimally invasive surgery
Minimally invasive surgery is an effective surgical method that is less intrusive than traditional surgery. By using small incisions and instruments, we are able to create positive surgical outcomes that typically have minimal scarring, faster recovery times and shorter hospital stays.

Minimally invasive procedures we perform
Our surgeons are experienced in treating a diverse array of medical conditions, with an equally diverse selection of surgeries, including gastrointestinal, hepatobiliary and gynecological procedures. We understand that medical issues can arise in a variety of ways, so having a sizeable group of specialty surgeons allows to provide the comprehensive care that you deserve.
Some of the minimally invasive, laparoscopic and robotic procedures we perform include:

We can also perform procedures to treat gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), such as transoral incisionless fundoplication (TIF). In this procedure, by entering through the mouth, our surgeons bypass the need for incision altogether and help you heal more swiftly and smoothly.
Robot-assisted surgery
Robotic surgery is an advanced medical technology that allows your surgeon to perform precise movements with enhanced visibility. During the procedure, your surgeon remains in control of the instrument, just as with any other surgical tool.
There are many advantages of robot-assisted procedures, including:
- Faster recovery
- Minimal scarring
- Shorter hospital stay
- Smaller incisions
