Minimally invasive techniques involve the latest in surgical technology, such as laparoscopy, arthroscopy, endoscopy, cystoscopy and robotics. Because these procedures are performed through tiny incisions instead of one large opening, you'll discover benefits such as:

• Faster recovery
• Less chance of complications, such as infection
• Less bleeding and less chance of needing a blood transfusion
• Less pain and less need for pain medications
• Minimal scarring - internally and externally
• Quicker return to normal activities
• Shorter hospital stay
