Minimally Invasive Techniques
The surgeons at Watertown Regional Medical Center are leaders in the use of minimally invasive surgery, which means smaller incision size, less pain, minimal scarring and faster recovery times for our patients.
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.
