For most patients this procedure offers substantially less pain and a much shorter recovery period.

• Minimally invasive digital laparoscopy- Use of remote controlled manipulation of instruments with indirect observation of the surgical field through and endoscope or similar device using digital technology for advanced visualization. This technique also uses smaller incisions that lead to less pain and shorter recovery for patients.

• Breast Mammosite, MRI and recontructions- Mammosite is a radiation therapy treatment that uses a balloon inserted into the breast tumor cavity to deliver high dose radiation to the tumor site from inside the breast. The results of this treatment are the same as whole breast radiation in reducing recurrence, but it is much more convenient for women. Breast MRI allows you to visualize multiple lesions more accurately than routine ultrasound or mammogram to assure the plan of treatment is appropriate to allow for breast conservation as much as possible. For women who do require a mastectomy, immediate reconstruction is an option that combines breast removal with reconstruction in one surgical experience.
