Minimally Invasive Surgery:

Many patients can now benefit from minimally invasive surgery, in which surgical tools and a laparoscope (a fiber optic instrument) are passed through small incisions. The laparoscope transmits images of the surgical site to a video monitor, helping guide surgeons while operating. Minimally invasive surgery results in less scarring and a faster recovery. Dr. Benaim, routinely performs laparscopic surgery to treat a variety of urology problems including kidney and adrenal tumors.
