Minimally Invasive Surgery
Traditionally, urological surgery was completed via large incisions. Afterwards time was
needed to recover. Post operative complication rates were higher partially due to the trauma
caused to the body from the initial procedure.
Minimally invasive surgery is not only a technique that can be applied to few procedure but a
philosophy that carries throughout our entire practice. In minimally invasive surgery, the
incisions are tiny, the instruments are small, and time tested methods are imployed. We use a
host of technology to visualize anatomy including fiber optics, digital monitors, fluroscopy,
ultrasound and computers.
Compared to traditional surgery, minimally invasive surgery leads to faster recovery, less
post-operative pain and smaller scars.
When applied to kidney stone treatment we offer the latest treatments with high success rates.
Our techniques include percutaneous nephrolithotomy or lithotripsy (laparascopic techniques
to break up or remove a stone), and ureteroscopy (insertion of a thin scope into the urinary
tract). We use the latest advances in ultrasonic lithotripters, holimum lasers and laproscopic
surgery.
