Minimally Invasive Surgery

When surgery is required to alleviate a health condition, Dr Lopez offers minimally invasive surgery as an alternative to traditional open surgery. It uses state of the art technology to reduce tissue injury to the body. Laparoscopy, which is surgery done through small incisions (few millimeters), permits the use of miniature cameras and surgical instruments to perform complex procedures that were traditionally done in an open fashion. It provides better visualization. It is associated with less scarring, less pain and quicker recovery. Minimally invasive surgery offers a safe alternative to traditional surgery.
