Did You Know?

Many general surgery procedures that previously required large abdominal incisions can now be done using minimally invasive techniques through small openings that require no stitches.

Minimally invasive procedures (MIP) can reduce risks of infection, shorten recovery time, and reduce postoperative pain. Because of the technology and equipment used with MIP, the cost of the procedures can be slightly higher.
