Minimally Invasive Surgery
Reduces Scarring and Recovery Time
Big scars, long hospital stays and weeks of recovery aren't necessary any more for many surgery patients at Henry County Hospital.
With laparoscopic surgery (often called minimally invasive or band-aide surgery) patients have less pain, go home quicker, have a speedier recovery and smaller scarring.
The technique involves using a telescope view connected to a minuscule video camera.
The laparoscope is inserted and the resulting magnified picture is shown to your surgeon who views it on a monitor as they perform the operation. We utilize the advanced Stryker high definition camera and video equipment for laparoscopic surgery.
Laparoscopic surgery can be used to treat:
-
Appendicitis
-
Chronic Heartburn
-
Colon Resection
-
Common Duct Exploration
-
Gall Stones
-
Gynecology Problems
-
Hernia Repair
