Our latest surgical innovation: Less time in the hospital

Minimally Invasive Surgery at Jewish Hospital

After 106 years of constant striving to give you more, Jewish Hospital now invites you to expect less. Less pain, less hospital time, less recovery time and whole lot more convenience.

Jewish Hospital is now performing a wide variety of minimally invasive procedures, including orthopaedic, cardiothoracic as well as procedures using the da Vinci® S Robotic Surgery Program, where surgeons use the most advanced technology to perform prostate, kidney, cardiac, women’s health, colon and other surgical procedures through Band-Aid sized incisions.

These minimally invasive procedures provide surgeons with an alternative to both traditional open surgery and conventional laparoscopy, enabling them to perform even the most complex and delicate procedures through very small incisions with unmatched precision.

The benefits of minimally invasive surgery include:

• Significantly less pain
• Less blood loss
• Smaller incisions and less scarring
• Decreased risk of wound infections
• Shorter recovery time, meaning less time in the hospital
• A faster return to normal daily activities
• In many cases, better clinical outcomes

Ask your doctor if minimally invasive surgery is right for you. For more information about scheduling a minimally invasive procedure at Jewish Hospital, call (502) 560-8514 or email minimallyinvasive@jhsmh.org.
