Labette Health’s general surgeons provide a wide spectrum of inpatient and outpatient procedures. Our surgeons offer the latest advancements in surgery services, including traditional surgery, minimally invasive surgery and endoscopic procedures.
Our team includes board-certified surgeons and highly trained clinicians working together to ensure the highest quality care in the most patient-centered manner.
Traditional Surgery
Traditional surgery (also referred to as open surgery), means the cutting of skin and tissues so that the surgeon has a full view of the structures or organs involved.
Minimally Invasive Surgery
Minimally invasive surgery is any technique involved in surgery that does not require a large incision. Minimally invasive surgery options at Labette Health include laparoscopic and robotic.
Laparoscopic and robotic surgeries have many similarities—both use small incisions, a camera, and surgical instruments. Laparoscopic surgery is performed by hand, with the help of a two-dimensional camera. Robotic surgery requires the surgeon to operate instruments from outside the patient’s body, using a console and a three-dimensional camera. There are technological advancements in robotic surgery that make these procedures easier for surgeons to perform and for patients to recover from.
Traditionally, laparoscopic surgery is used to examine and perform surgery on organs in the abdomen and pelvis. Because of the robot’s advanced technology, robotic surgery is equipped to handle more complex operations.
Not all conditions are suitable for minimally invasive surgery.
