Advanced Laparoscopy
A few tiny incisions are all that is needed for laparoscopic, or minimally invasive, surgery. This revolutionary approach involves using a videoscope and small instruments to perform operations that used to be done through
large incisions. This major advance has allowed patients to experience decreased postoperative pain, minimal scarring and a much quicker return to their everyday lives.
Laparoscopic Colon Surgery
If your patient needs colon surgery, make Carolina Surgery & Cancer Center your first choice. Send them to the only surgeon in the area qualified to perform these procedures and skilled enough to do them without a
hand port. Not only does this save an incision, it is less invasive, faster, less painful, less costly to the patient and offers shorter recovery.
Advanced Laparoscopic Procedures
At Carolina Surgery & Cancer Center, our surgeons have always been committed to learning and mastering the newest techniques and technology for performing advanced procedures. These procedures, which historically
required large incisions and extended recovery periods, can result in significantly reduced recovery time and much smaller incisions when performed laparoscopically.
We presently provide advanced laparoscopic surgery for most intra-abdominal problems, including:
- Appendectomy
- Lung disease: benign & malignant
- Hernia repair
- Colon disease: benign & malignant
- Gallbladder
- Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD)

laparoscopic procedures. We are committed to performing these procedures whenever they will benefit our patients. We welcome and encourage your referrals.
