Other general surgical procedures may also be performed using minimally invasive techniques when clinically appropriate.
SURGICAL CONSULTATION
Whether a laparoscopic or minimally invasive approach is appropriate can only be determined after evaluation of the condition and the individual patient's circumstances.
Dr. Cuppari personally evaluates each patient and discusses the recommended surgical approach. When minimally invasive surgery is appropriate, he explains the planned procedure and what to expect before and after surgery.
LAPAROSCOPIC SURGERY
Laparoscopic surgery uses small incisions and specialized instruments to perform an operation. The number and location of incisions, as well as the exact technique, depend on the procedure being performed and the patient's individual circumstances.
Minimally invasive surgery is not the right approach for every operation or every patient. The decision between laparoscopic, minimally invasive and open techniques is based on the condition being treated and the safest, most appropriate surgical plan for the individual patient.
