Advanced Laparoscopic Surgery
Advanced Laparoscopic Surgery treats abdominal and chest conditions through small incisions using a 5mm camera. This approach reduces postoperative pain, shortens hospital stays, and accelerates recovery. Patients benefit from procedures like gallbladder removal, hernia repair, and anti-reflux operations, performed with precision by experienced surgeons.
Breast Surgery
Breast Surgery addresses benign and malignant conditions with techniques like skin-sparing mastectomy and sentinel lymph node biopsy. Our team emphasizes early detection, education, and reconstruction options. Patients receive personalized care, including in-office ultrasounds and stereotactic biopsies, ensuring comprehensive breast health management.
Sentinel Lymph Node Biopsy
Sentinel Lymph Node Biopsy evaluates breast cancer spread with minimal invasiveness. By removing 1-4 key nodes, we reduce complications like lymphedema. This technique offers accurate staging and guides further treatment, combining radioactive and blue dye markers for precise results.

Hernia Repair utilizes laparoscopic methods for inguinal and ventral hernias. Small incisions and advanced tools ensure faster recovery compared to traditional surgery. Our surgeons address complications from prior procedures, prioritizing safety and long-term outcomes for patients.
