MINIMALLY INVASIVE SURGERY

Minimally invasive surgery, also known as laparoscopic surgery, is the standard approach for many of our procedures. Laparoscopic surgery uses a few tiny incisions along with specialized instruments and high-definition cameras. Compared to open techniques, minimally invasive surgery provides:

  • Quicker Recovery Times

  • Decreased Length Of Hospital Stay

  • Decreased Post-Operative Pain

  • Smaller Scars

TGMG surgeons are leaders in the field of minimally invasive surgery and perform procedures at Tampa General Hospital.
