Minimally Invasive Surgery Q&A

What is minimally invasive surgery?

Minimally invasive surgery uses surgical tools and techniques that minimize tissue trauma and damage when performing procedures. Compared to traditional open surgery, minimally invasive surgery offers many benefits, including:

  • Smaller incisions and less scarring
  • Little blood loss
  • Reduced post-surgical pain
  • Shorter hospital stay
  • Lower risk of infection and complications
  • Faster recovery

Dr. Joseph is a skilled general, thoracic, and vascular surgeon. She understands the anxiety and fear people feel when they need surgery. To ensure you get the best outcomes, she uses the most advanced tools and techniques.

What are the types of minimally invasive surgery?

There are many types of minimally invasive surgery. 

Laparoscopic surgery

During laparoscopic surgery, Dr. Joseph makes a small incision in the area of the body undergoing surgery. She inserts a laparoscope, a thin, flexible tube with a light and camera, and transmits images of the surgical area onto a computer screen. 

Dr. Joseph makes additional small incisions and inserts the surgical instruments needed to perform the necessary procedure. She uses the images on the computer screen to guide his movements.

Robotic-assisted surgery

With robotic-assisted surgery, Dr. Joseph uses advanced robotic technology with minimally invasive surgical techniques to perform complex procedures with greater flexibility and better precision. Dr. Joseph is also skilled in performing robotic-assisted surgery using the da Vinci® surgical system.

What surgical procedures use minimally invasive surgery?

Dr. Joseph uses minimally invasive surgery to perform many of his general, thoracic, and vascular procedures. Some of the most common procedures with minimally invasive techniques include:

  • Colon surgery
  • Breast surgery
  • Hernia repair
  • Gallbladder disease
  • Abdominal surgery
  • Skin lesions

Though minimally invasive surgery offers many advantages to you and Dr. Joseph, the technique may not make the best choice for all cases. 

Dr. Joseph takes a patient-centered approach to care and uses surgical techniques that provide you with the best overall outcome. In some cases, that means traditional open surgery.
