Minimally invasive services we offer

Our team of surgeons, physician assistants and nurse practitioners are highly trained in both laparoscopic and robotic-assisted surgery technique, ensuring you receive the best care with the latest advancements in surgical technology.

Laparoscopic surgical techniques

Laparoscopic surgery is named after the primary tool used in the procedure: the laparoscope. This thin, long tube is equipped with a tiny camera and light, which sends real-time images from inside your body to a TV screen. This allows our surgical team to monitor the procedure closely without needing to make a large incision.

By using special instruments and scopes, our surgeons can perform surgery with smaller, more precise incisions, minimizing damage to surrounding tissue. Laparoscopic surgery is typically used for abdominal and pelvic procedures, such as:

  • Appendix removal
  • Colon surgery
  • Gallbladder removal
  • Hernia repair
  • Weight loss surgery

Robotic surgical techniques

Robotic-assisted surgery offers a less invasive, highly precise surgical option. CMC was one of the first facilities in the U.S. to perform surgery using this advanced technology and we continue to use robotic systems to provide state-of-the-art procedures for our patients.

Benefits of laparoscopic surgery

Laparoscopic surgery offers numerous benefits including:

  • Smaller incisions
  • Reduced pain and bleeding
  • Faster recovery time and shorter hospital stays
  • Quicker return to normal activity

These advantages make laparoscopic surgery an excellent option for a wide range of conditions. At Catholic Medical Center, our experienced surgeons use this technique for various procedures ensuring that you receive the most efficient and effective care possible.
