    On the Cutting Edge

    At PAMF, specialists offer the latest in minimally invasive and robotic surgery, using advanced techniques to minimize scarring and reduce recovery times.

    Understanding da Vinci Robotic Surgery

    Robotic surgery monitor

    During robotic surgery, your surgeon’s finger movements at a computerized workstation direct the robotic surgical instruments, improving precision and access to the surgical site. Dedicated teams of da Vinci surgeons are trained in procedures including:

    • Hysterectomy
    • Heart valve repair
    • Prostate cancer
    • Uterine fibroids, obstruction, prolapse

    Laparoscopic Surgery

    Surgeons offer the latest in laparoscopic surgery, which uses small incisions, a thin, lighted tube called a laparoscope or videoscope and specially designed surgical tools. This technique provides visibility and access inside a surgical site. It also lessens scars and blood loss.

    We offer laparoscopy for many procedures, including:

    • Gastric banding
    • Colorectal cancer surgery
    • Gallbladder surgery
    • In vitro fertilization
    • Hysterectomy
    • Lung cancer surgery
    • Prostate surgery

    Laser Therapy

    In areas where pinpoint precision is required, surgeons may use laser therapy, which replaces the scalpel with an intense, focused beam of light to vaporize tissue, minimize bleeding and reduce the risk of infection. We use lasers to treat many conditions, including:

    • Angina
    • Brain, breast, cervical, and head and neck cancer
    • Enlarged prostate
    • Nearsightedness, glaucoma and macular degeneration
    • Skin cancer, wrinkles and moles
    • Sleep apnea
