Laparoscopy Westchester, New York

Laparoscopy Westchester, New York


Being afraid of surgery is not an uncommon feeling because it represents a significant change in our lives, especially for obesity. There is also the issue of time lost during recovery. Thankfully, newer surgical methods like laparoscopy are making it easier for patients to get surgery and be back to their old selves in a fraction of the time it used to take for open procedures. In Westchester, New York, the doctors at Lawrence Hospital Center - Center for Advanced Surgery are laparoscopic experts for weight loss surgery and other operations.


Laparoscopic surgery is a minimally invasive surgery that uses a small incision, usually about the size of a keyhole. Laparoscopic surgery is performed with the assistance of a telescopic rod that is connected to a video camera, and a fiber optic cable that is attached to a light, usually a halogen light, that will illuminate the area that the surgeon is performing on. The doctors will use carbon dioxide gas to inflate the stomach in the same fashion as blowing up a balloon. This will allow the doctor to see more of the area that they are observing.

Although there are many gastrointestinal conditions that can be treated by taking prescribed medication and changing your lifestyle, there still remains the possibility of having to undergo surgery. If your doctor has told you that you need surgery, then you should consider laparoscopic surgery for its short recovery time and precision.


If your doctor has suggested weight loss surgery, and you are worried about all of the complications that come with traditional surgeries, then you should call Lawrence Hospital Center for Advanced Surgery in Westchester, New York.
