Overview

Minimally invasive surgery is one of the fastest growing areas in surgery today. Combining advanced technology with patient care has allowed minimally invasive surgeons to do more with less. Patients are experiencing less pain, shorter hospital stays, and faster recovery times than were ever imaginable 20 years ago.

In 1998, the Mount Sinai Minimally Invasive Surgery Center in New York was established with the purpose of advancing the field of minimally invasive surgery. Combining clinical expertise across the surgical specialties with advanced technology, the Center is dedicated to

• Providing outstanding patient care focused on continually improving health outcomes
  
• Transferring knowledge through a vigorous program of medical education
• Expanding the frontiers of surgery via cutting edge research

The Center's faculty have successfully treated thousands of patients using minimally invasive surgical procedures, trained hundreds of surgeons through fellowships and continuing medical education courses, and engaged in research contributing to the advancement of new surgical techniques and instrumentation.
