Advanced Laparoscopy Techniques

The surgeons with Capital Surgical Associates, P.A., are experienced in the many uses of laparoscopy developed since the late 1980s. There are a number of surgical procedures that can be done completely or greatly aided by using laparoscopic techniques. Their use in any one case is determined on an individual basis by the surgeon and patient.

In general, these products offer several benefits when their use is indicated:

Smaller incisions
Less pain
Shorter hospital stay
Faster recovery and return to normal activities

Some of the procedures that lend themselves to the laparoscopic techniques are:

Cholecystectomy (gallbladder removal)
Hernia repair
Anti-reflux procedures (hiatal hernia)
Lung and chest surgery
Bowel resection
Appendectomy
Exploratory procedures

The surgeons at Capital Surgical Associates, P.A., are all versed in these procedures and are always evaluating other minimally invasive procedures. Please feel free to discuss any of these with our surgeons.
