Minimally Invasive Surgery, Advanced Techniques

� Minimally invasive (laparoscopic) surgery is a technique where a surgeon makes small
   incisions in the abdomen. Narrow instruments are used along with a tiny camera.
   This allows our surgeon to see inside the patient's abdomen and to perform the surgery.
� Cranley Surgical Associates offers laparoscopic abdominal surgical procedures
   including (but not limited to) the gall bladder, appendix, spleen, adrenal gland,
   pancreas and hernia repair.
� This type of surgery offers the fastest recovery time reducing time away from family and
   work. Other advantages include shorter hospital stays, decreased incidence of wound
   infection and less scarring.

� Minimally invasive (laparoscopic) colon surgery employs the use of a camera to look
   inside the abdomen through a small incision.
� Specially designed instruments are then passed through additional small incisions
   to perform the surgery.
� Laparoscopic surgery offers the fastest recovery time reducing time away from family
   and work. Other advantages include shorter hospital stays, decreased incidence
   of wound infection and less scarring.

Traditional (Open) General Surgery

� Most hernia repairs are performed as outpatient surgery.
� The use of synthetic patches or mesh for hernia repair is becoming standard for adult
   surgery. The mesh or patch may be used to strengthen the abdominal wall and prevent
   hernias from recurring.

   in the United States.
