Minimally-invasive surgery allows surgeons to perform procedures that would otherwise require longer, more complicated recovery. Benefits of minimally-invasive surgery include: 

  • Reduced pain
  • Fewer complications
  • Shorter recovery times

 

Specific Services offered by the general surgery clinic include:

  • Anal fistula, fissure or abscess treatment
  • Appendix removal
  • Breast surgery for cancer and benign disease
