Surgery
Surgery is a branch of medicine that involves treating diseases or injuries by adjusting or removing organs, tissues or bones. Surgery includes both necessary procedures, like cardiac surgery, or elective procedures, such as joint replacement.

Types of surgery
We offer both traditional and minimally invasive surgical procedures.
Minimally invasive surgery
Whenever possible, we use minimally invasive surgical techniques such as endoscopy, laparoscopy and robot-assisted surgery. These surgeries can often be outpatient procedures. Minimally invasive surgery offers patients many benefits compared to traditional surgery, including:
- Fewer scars
- Less postoperative pain
- Shorter hospital stay
- Shorter recovery time
- Smaller incisions
Robotic surgery
Robotic surgery allows our surgeons to perform complex surgeries with extreme accuracy and only a few small incisions.
During robot-assisted surgery, the doctor controls the robotic system for the entire procedure. Their hand movements are translated into small, very precise movements of tiny instruments inside of the body.
