Raritan Valley Surgical Associates are committed to staying on the cutting edge of this new technology. Laparoscopy is a technique that allows for surgery in the abdominal cavity with the assistance of a laparoscope, a thin telescope-like tube, which allows the surgeon to view the internal abdominal area on a monitor. The advantages of this procedure include:
  • Less pain and discomfort
  • A shorter hospital stay
  • An earlier return to normal activities
  • Smaller incisions
  • Less visible scarring
  • Increased safety in very ill patients

Laparoscopy is often used to repair inguinal hernias, correct abnormal reflux of gastric acids into the esophagus (GERD), for the diagnosis and treatment of acute appendicitis and gallbladder disease and many disorders of the pelvis and female reproductive organs.
