The thought of facing surgery can feel overwhelming—but the surgeons at Presence Saints Mary and Elizabeth Medical Center have the skill, compassion, and expertise to put your mind at ease. Backed by industry-leading technology with a focus on minimally invasive approaches, our patients enjoy alternatives to overnight hospitalization for many surgical procedures, including general, cosmetic, ear, nose and throat (ENT), orthopedic, gynecological and urological surgery. From admission through recovery, we’ll provide the personalized care you deserve and ensure a safe and swift return to the life you love.
In minimally invasive surgery, tiny incisions 0.20 of an inch are made near the surgical site. Through these incisions, our highly trained surgeons insert specialized tools and cameras to perform the surgery inside of the body without having to make a traditional large incision. This results in less cutting of the skin, muscle, tissue and organs, which results in less pain and a quicker recovery.
Minimally invasive procedures we perform include:
Equipped with the high-definition da Vinci® Surgical System—the most advanced robotic system available—our surgeons perform minimally invasive procedures with even greater precision. This advanced technology can be used for general surgery, colorectal, gynecology, and urology resulting in less blood loss, pain and scarring, plus shorter hospital stays and recovery time. Ask your doctor today if robotic surgery is right for you.
