Minimally invasive surgery
Our surgeon specializes in minimally invasive surgical techniques, such as laparoscopic surgery. Our surgical approach is personalized for your needs. We focus on techniques that help improve wound healing, manage pain with less medication, and help you return to your daily activities. Minimally invasive surgery is typically used for:

- Gallbladder removal
- Groin hernia repair

The recovery process for minimally invasive surgeries may be quicker than regular surgery and typically doesn’t require an overnight stay in the hospital.
