Laparoscopic/Minimally Invasive

            Our surgeons use the latest in laparoscopic surgical techniques to treat a variety of surgical problems using the smallest incisions possible.  Laparoscopic surgery, which is also known as minimally invasive surgery, is intended to minimize the incision site thereby reducing postoperative pain and speeding up recovery times.

            Our surgeons, who pioneered laparoscopic surgery in the Philadelphia area, perform a number of procedures using this technique.  For example, almost all gallbladder surgery can be performed laparoscopically.  This approach also is used to investigate chronic abdominal pain which can lead to the removal of the appendix.  Colon cancer can now be treated laparoscopically using very small incisions to remove the cancerous part of the colon. 

            Our physicians are trained in using the most advanced surgical techniques and treatment modalities so that we can offer our patients the most appropriate options available for the treatment of their conditions.
