Minimally Invasive Expertise Gives Patient More Options
Our thoracic surgeons are at the leading-edge of minimally invasive lung surgery, utilizing robotics to access the thoracic cavity without having to break through the rib cage. Some of the benefits of minimally invasive and robotic surgery compared to an open surgical approach include:
- Quicker recovery, with less time in the hospital
- Less blood loss
- Decreased risk of infection
- Decreased scarring
- Decreased risk of readmission to the hospital after surgery
Our team of physicians work with each patient to determine if a minimally invasive, robotic approach or open-surgical approach is the best option for each individual based on their diagnosis, individual anatomy and any other medical conditions they may have.
