Laparoscopic Surgery at UHD
Some surgeries that formerly required a large incision now can be done using a series of small cuts. Surgeons insert a thin tube with a camera (a laparoscope) into the body to help them see; small tools are then used to perform the surgery. This type of surgery is called laparoscopic surgery. For patients, this means a quicker recovery and less scarring. At UHD, we perform several procedures laparoscopically.
Surgical Procedures at UHD include
- Colonoscopy
- Esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD)
- Hemorrhoidectomy
- Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy
- Laparoscopic Appendectomy
- Laparoscopic assisted Colectomy
- Laparoscopic Hernia repair
- Open hernia repair
- Port catheter placement
- Biopsy/Lumpectomy breast surgery
- Mastectomy
The surgical department is continually updating technology for its inpatient and outpatient procedures. Surgeries are scheduled through each individual surgeon’s office.
