The scope is put through one small skin incision, and surgical tools are put through other small incisions. Many surgeries are done using this technique. Some of the more common general surgeries we perform using this method are gallbladder, hernia and abdominal surgery
    • Pancreas, liver, gastrointestinal and endocrine surgery
    • Head and neck surgery:Our surgeons perform head and neck surgeries including thyroid, parathyroid and parotid. Surgery can be an effective treatment for hyperthyroidism, malignant nodules or those that grow or cause symptoms
