Mount
Sinai's noted colorectal surgeons offer the latest minimally
invasive procedures.
Although
the techniques vary from procedure to procedure, minimally
invasive surgical procedures employ video cameras and lens
systems to provide anatomic visualization within a region
of the body.
Achieving
such visualization requires the creation and maintenance of
an optical cavity, most commonly created with carbon dioxide
insufflation. Using short incisions in the skin, narrow tubes
are inserted through the abdominal wall so that instruments
can be slid through them to perform the maneuvers necessary
for the operation. All this is viewed directly on a video
monitor which receives its picture from a video camera attached
to the laparoscope. Video cameras and specialized surgical
instruments can be inserted through small access incisions
in the skin and utilized within the optical cavity for the
removal or repair of an organ system.
Mount
Sinai has a particular focus on the laparoscopic management
of many colon and rectal diseases.
