Abdominal and Pelvic Minimally Invasive Surgery

General surgery to the abdomen and pelvis is completed through a minimally invasive approach whenever possible. Minimally Invasive Surgery (MIS) can be used for colon resection, to treat hernias, remove abdominal organs and tumors, and for exploratory surgery to diagnose a condition or determine the cause of unexplained abdominal pain.

Gynecologic Minimally Invasive and Robotic Surgery

MIS and robotic surgery make it possible for women who have gynecologic conditions to be treated without traditional open surgery and large incisions. Women who receive MIS often have post-surgery recovery time measured in days, not weeks, and experience less pain, scarring and risk for infection. MIS and robotic surgery offer women treatment for abnormal uterine bleeding, cancer, endometriosis, incontinence, ovarian cysts and tumors, uterine fibroids or polyps and uterine prolapse.

What To Expect Before Surgery

Posting, Scheduling and Preadmission

Once your procedure is scheduled, the Pre-Admission Testing department will contact you to review your history, obtain a list of medications, and discuss additional tests needed prior to your surgery. You will also receive instructions for the day of surgery, including when and where to register that morning.

Pre-Operative

On the morning of surgery, registration takes place at least one hour prior to your procedure. Once registered, a nurse accompanies you to the pre-operative area, where you will meet your anesthesiologist and surgeon, and an intravenous line will be started if needed. 

Anesthesia

A team of anesthesiologists works with anesthesia technicians and certified registered nurse anesthetists to ensure the safe and proper administration of anesthesia and to maintain the required equipment, instruments and materials.

Operating Room

You are escorted by the operating room nurse to the operating room, where a skilled surgical team ensures the highest level of care throughout your procedure. Each surgery team typically includes a surgeon, anesthesiologist, surgical technologist, registered nurse and physician's assistant.
