Smaller Incisions and Smarter Surgery: How Laparoscopic and Robotic Technology Is Transforming Surgery of the Stomach, Liver, and Pancreas with Dr. Faisel Jehan.
Monday, April 20, at DesertView Performing Arts Center. Doors open at 6:45 p.m. Presentation begins at 7 p.m.
Advances in minimally invasive laparoscopic and robotic surgery have transformed how complex abdominal operations are performed. This means patients can have safer procedures, smaller incisions and faster recoveries than traditional open surgery.
In this talk, Dr. Jehan will explain how:
* Modern surgical technology can treat diseases of the stomach, liver and pancreas.
* Minimally invasive techniques give surgeons greater precision as well as reducing pain, blood loss, and recovery time.
* Robotic surgery helps surgeons perform delicate and complex operations.
Dr. Jehan will also discuss:
* Which patients may benefit from these approaches.
* What to expect before and after surgery.
* How technology continues to improve surgical outcomes, particularly for older adults to maintain independence and quality of life.
* The future of surgical care.
