Minimally Invasive Techniques
The surgeons at Watertown Regional Medical Center are leaders in the use of minimally invasive surgery, including the use of robotic surgery, which means smaller incision size, less pain, minimal scarring and faster recovery times for our patients.
Laparoscopy
One of the first types of minimally invasive surgery was laparoscopy. This type of surgery is done through small incisions using small tubes and tiny cameras. Continual innovations of minimally invasive surgery make it beneficial for people with all types of conditions. Ask your provider if you think you might be a candidate.
Robotic Surgery
Robotic Surgery is designed to provide surgeons with enhanced capabilities, including high-definition 3D vision and a magnified view. Though it is called robotic surgery, the machine cannot act on its own: Instead, the surgery is performed entirely by your doctor.
