The surgeons at Novant Health are trained and experienced in a variety of minimally invasive surgical techniques to perform a number of different surgeries including bariatric, plastic, gynecology, urology and many others. Minimally invasive surgery uses smaller incisions, highly-specialized lasers, robotics, laparoscopes, endoscopes, and video technology. This type of surgery is generally preferred because it results in faster recovery, reduced pain, minimal scaring and decreased risk of infection.
Novant Health also offers single incision laparoscopic surgery (SILS), which results in even less scaring.
