General Surgery

Electing to undergo surgery can be a challenging, and oftentimes scary, undertaking. However, opposed to traditional, “open” surgery, minimally invasive surgery has a multitude of benefits, including:

• Less pain
• Lower risks of infection
• Shorter hospital stays
• Faster recoveries and return to work
