Program Description:

Specialized instruments are used through "keyhole" incisions for a wide range of surgical problems in both the chest and the abdomen. Examples of this technique include treatment of gastroesophageal reflux (Nissen operation), splenectomy, removal of certain tumors and/or cysts, lung biopsy, appendectomy and treatment of empyema. These techniques diminish the pain of the procedure while also decreasing the length of stay in the hospital and the amount of visible scarring.
