Instructions in proper trocar insertion technique. Four trocars are necessary
to perform a laparoscopic cholecystectomy.
Minimally Invasive Techniques have revolutionized the practice
of surgery. Patients in many instances no longer need be exposed to more
dangerous open procedures that require additional time to heal, increased
pain, and at times additional complications. This type of
surgery is usually reserved for the more affluent, but the surgeons and
administrators at St. Juan de Dios Hospital are committed
to providing the best care to all members of their community,
regardless of economic status.
