Mako Total Knee Replacement Surgery
If you are living with mid to late-stage osteoarthritis (OA) of the knee, Mako™ Robotic-Arm Assisted Surgery may be an option for you. During Mako assisted surgery, your orthopedic surgeon will use a robotic-arm assisted procedure that includes real-time information and images of your knee, allowing for more precise placeme
Maze Surgery
If the minimally invasive maze procedure or robotic assisted minimally invasive maze surgery is not ideal for you the maze surgery can also be performed as open-heart surgery with a heart-lung machine.
Micra™ Transcatheter Pacing System
The Micra™, which is approximately the size of a multivitamin, is the world’s smallest pacemaker that provides patients with the most advanced pacing technology.
Minimally Invasive Direct CAB (MIDCAB) Surgery
Innovative advancements in coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) surgical techniques have allowed CABG surgery to be performed without having the heart stopped and connected to a heart-lung machine—cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB), and without having the breastbone split open.
Minimally Invasive Surgery
MemorialCare offers a complete range of minimally invasive surgery options which often result in less scarring and improved recovery time. Whether it is robotic-assisted surgery, laparoscopic surgery, thoracoscopic surgery or arthroscopic surgery, our surgeons are equipped with the latest technology.
Myomectomy
The goal of myomectomy is to remove uterine fibroids while preserving normal uterine tissue, usually in anticipation of future pregnancy. Historically, this surgery required a large incision, with subsequent increased risks, patient discomfort and prolonged healing time.
Oncoplastic Breast Surgery
Oncoplastic breast surgery uses an aesthetic approach to breast cancer treatment by removing the cancer while also preserving and rebuilding the breast to maintain its natural look and feel. This type of conservation surgery removes the cancer, reshapes the breast and prevents excessive scarring.
PFO/ASD Closure Device
For patients with congenital heart defects, our physicians use a device attached to a catheter to perform percutaneous closure. The catheter is inserted in the groin and advanced to the heart where the device is placed to close the hole.
Preparing For Surgery
You and your doctor have agreed that you need surgery. To help you understand what to expect during your surgery and recovery period please review the information below.
Robotic-Assisted Cancer Surgery
The robotic surgical system uses robotic computer technology providing breakthrough minimally invasive surgical capabilities that offer many benefits.
Robotic-Assisted Cholecystectomy
During a robotic-assisted cholecystectomy procedure (removal of the gallbladder), the surgeon retracts the gallbladder and dissects the cystic artery and cystic duct. The common bile duct from the liver is protected.
Robotic-Assisted Gastrectomy
A robotic-assisted Gastrectomy procedure is performed by making four small incisions – one 12 mm incision at the patient’s belly button, and three 8mm incisions at the upper abdomen.
Robotic-Assisted Inguinal Hernia Repair (with Mesh)
Inguinal hernia repair is a surgery to repair a hernia in the abdominal wall of the groin. A hernia is tissue that bulges out of a weak place in the abdominal wall. In some cases, the intestines may also bulge out in the weakened area.
Robotic-Assisted Single-Site Gallbladder Surgery
Using Single-Site™ robotic instruments, surgeons are able to perform a laparoscopic cholecystectomy (removal of the gallbladder) with only one incision, which is approximately one inch.
