General surgeons have a broad knowledge of many injuries and illnesses. The surgeries they perform include, but are not limited to:
Traditional gallbladder removal, or cholecystectomy, is performed using a laparoscope. Doctors make three to five small incisions in the abdomen. While laparoscopy is still a minimally-invasive procedure, it can lead to scarring and pain during recovery.
However, at Middlesex Health, we are proud to offer gallbladder removal using the da Vinci® Surgical System. The da Vinci® Robot allows your surgeon to make just one incision - through the belly button - to remove your gallbladder. The use of the belly button means that you won’t be able to see a scar, and the preciseness of the surgery cuts down on your recovery time.
At Middlesex Health, we are proud to offer cutting-edge Da Vinci® Robot-Assisted lobectomy surgery. A lobectomy is a form of thoracic surgery that involves the removal of a “lobe” of the lung - a piece of the lung that contains cancer.
Robot-assisted lobectomy surgery is performed through tiny incisions, which means the surgeon can avoid spreading the ribs to access the lungs. This minimally-invasive approach helps lead to less blood loss, fewer complications, shorter hospital stays, and a quicker recovery.
