Minimally Invasive Surgery
Minimally Invasive Surgery in Boulder, CO
Laparoscopic Surgery, also known as “Minimally Invasive Surgery” (MIS) or “keyhole surgery”, is performed by using small or micro-incisions instead of open or large incisions. Alpine Surgical provides minimally invasive surgery in Boulder, CO, with our award-winning surgeons, Dr. Fox and Dr. Beckley.
To begin the surgery, the patient’s abdomen is inflated with carbon dioxide (CO2) to provide a working cavity for the surgeon. A laparoscope (small telescoping camera) is inserted through a working port (hollow plastic tube that introduces the camera and dissecting instruments). The image is magnified and transmitted onto a high-resolution monitor in the operating room. The surgeon then uses specialized instruments through the other incision points (ports) to carry out the procedure.
We routinely utilize a minimally invasive approach for the majority of our surgeries. These include appendectomies, hernia repairs, adrenal gland removal, spleen removal, intestine removal, reflux surgery, lung surgery and gallbladder surgery, to name but a few.
