Laparoscopic Surgery
Laparoscopic surgery is a kind of minimally invasive surgery using a thin, narrow tube called a laparoscope. Usually performed on the abdomen or the pelvic region, the surgeon makes a few very small incisions instead of one large one.
During the procedure, the surgeon inserts the laparoscope, which contains a light and camera that allows the surgeon to see what is happening inside the body. Then tiny tools are placed through the small openings and used to perform the surgery.
The most common laparoscopic surgery is gallbladder removal, but laparoscopic surgery may also be used for the removal of a kidney or appendix, to treat certain cysts and tumors, for bariatric surgery, for some GERD treatments, or for hernia repairs, among others.
Because laparoscopic surgery only uses a few tiny incisions, the scars are minimal and recovery is easier than with open surgery.

I take great pride in being up to date and skilled in the latest advances in pediatric surgery. I apply this knowledge and experience, as well as my genuine empathy for people and their often-frightening situations, to do my very best to take care of children and, equally importantly, their families. I am a pediatric general, thoracic and minimally invasive surgeon at St. Luke's University Health Network. My practice is solely dedicated to the surgical care of infants, children and adolescents. This includes various surgical procedures from, literally, the head to the toes. I have over 20 years of experience in practice dedicated to the care of pediatric patients.
