Marina Del Rey Hospital has been a leading innovator in surgery including minimally invasive techniques that can help patients recover more quickly and with less pain. Marina Del Reys Surgery is recognized for a higher level of patient care provided by skilled surgeons, a compassionate nursing staff and qualified medical professionals.
Minimally invasive techniques and Laparoscopic surgery are "minimally invasive" procedures and are performed through one or more short incisions, as opposed to the longer incisions of traditional surgery. For most patients, this leads to significantly less post-operative pain, less time in the hospital and a faster recovery, as less skin, muscle and bone is damaged during the procedure. Minimally invasive procedures also tend to result in reduced blood loss, less scarring and fewer complications than traditional methods.
The laparoscopic approach is routinely applied across the general-surgery spectrum, including: adrenalectomy, appendectomy, bariatric surgery, cholecystectomy, hernia repair, nephrectomy, joints and spine.
