Minimally Invasive Surgery

The surgeons at Wellington Regional Medical Center specialize in laparoscopic and robotic surgery. Using advanced technology, surgeons make small incisions (cuts) in your body and use video cameras to better see the area that needs treatment. They use special instruments to perform surgery through the incisions.
