We specialize in performing laparoscopy.

Laparoscopic or minimally-invasive surgery is a highly efficient alternative to surgical procedures encompassing weight-loss, inguinal hernias, surgical oncology, appendicitis and gynecological procedures, among others.

Unlike traditional surgery involving a large abdominal incision, the minimally-invasive or laparoscopic surgery is characterized by making small incisions, through which a camera and medical instruments are inserted, while the patient is under general anesthesia. This method allows the surgeon to observe the images the camera emits, in order to perform the same surgical procedures as in traditional surgery, but with smaller incisions.

The advantages of this procedure over traditional surgery are countless. In addition, the incisions made in laparoscopic surgery are rendered invisible, while recovery time and the risk of infection are significantly reduced. This also results in lower costs for the patient, by drastically reducing the time of their hospital stay.
