Robotic and laparoscopic surgery uses highly advanced equipment and involves small incisions, specialized instruments, and a camera. It’s a revolutionary technique that renders large incisions pointless, offering a decreased rate of complications, decreased pain, and improved health outcomes.

Minimally-invasive procedures have become the norm today, and most surgeries, including those for the gallbladder, hernia, and gastrointestinal tract, Our surgical team is proficient in all of these techniques and will provide you with the optimal experience during your surgery.
Robotic and laparoscopic surgery has only been around for around 20 years, yet it has completely changed the medical landscape. Patients will typically recover faster, and they will have fewer issues post-surgery than in the past.

We specialize in the diagnosis and minimally invasive treatment of gallbladder conditions, including gallstones, cholecystitis, and biliary dyskinesia. Our team uses advanced laparoscopic techniques to remove the gallbladder when necessary, ensuring faster recovery times, reduced pain, and minimized scarring for our patients.

Hernia surgery shouldn’t be your first course of action. First, you should notice if there are any symptoms or not. If not, then you might want to wait before choosing surgery to be sure that you do have a hernia and not something else. Unfortunately, hernias never get better.
Instead, they get worse, and it’s inevitable that you’ll need surgery eventually. Here at South Florida Surgery, we provide the best hernia surgery using advanced surgical techniques and equipment. Our board-certified doctors have years of experience in hernia surgeries and are experts in the field!

Our doctors can deal with multiple types of hernias, including abdominal or ventral hernia, inguinal hernia, femoral hernia, and umbilical hernia. You may have already noticed some symptoms, like heartburn, indigestion, and pain in the chest. Lumps may also be visible in some cases.

It’s important to know that hernias never heal on their own. Instead, they tend to get larger with time, so it’s recommended that you get diagnosed by a doctor and get surgery sooner rather than later. Our doctors will meet your specific needs and repair all your hernias with a tailored approach!

Our surgeons provide expert evaluation and management of both benign and malignant breast conditions. We offer comprehensive care for breast lumps, infections, cysts, and breast cancer, utilizing minimally invasive procedures whenever possible. We are committed to delivering compassionate, personalized care to support each patient through their diagnosis and treatment journey.

The stomach and esophagus are an integral part of the stomach, but they can be plagued by both benign and malignant diseases that could require surgery. Benign tumors could be removed by a gastroenterologist through endoscopy, but in some cases, they may require surgical removal.

This is especially the case with malignant tumors, especially esophageal tumors, which may also require the partial removal of the esophagus. This is called an esophagectomy.

You may also need surgical intervention for a hiatal or paraoesophageal hernia. In this case, a portion of your stomach will herniate into the thoracic cavity from the abdominal cavity. This surgery involves the reduction of your stomach back into the initial position in the abdominal cavity, repairing the diaphragm in the meantime.

Through robotic and laparoscopic technologies, both stomach and esophagus surgeries can be performed through minimally invasive procedures. This leads to better patient outcomes, reduced complication rates, and significantly shorter pain and recovery periods.

Most importantly, our doctors have many years of experience performing these types of surgeries and working with these technologies. We offer a tailored experience where your health outcome is the most important priority. Through this technology, we hope to help as many people with stomach and esophagus problems as possible!

Your colon (large intestine) is a large part of the gastrointestinal tract and mainly deals with reabsorbing water to maintain hydration. It performs other functions as well. When your bowel habits are changing, you have abdominal pains, blood in the stool, or even an unexplained weight loss, your colon might be at fault.

A colonoscopy performed by a gastroenterologist will reveal if your colon is the problem. The causes may include inflammation, polyps, or even cancer, which is why it’s important to get a diagnosis soon.

One of the common causes of colon issues is diverticulitis, which is an inflammatory disease that may eventually require surgery in serious situations. Antibiotic treatments are typically recommended, but if the diverticulitis keeps resurging or if abscesses or perforations occur, surgery becomes a necessity.

Rectal or colon cancer is the third most common type of cancer globally, so it’s definitely a possibility. If you suspect cancer, then a colonoscopy with a biopsy is necessary. If confirmed, then surgical removal becomes necessary. The colon surgery involves the removal of a certain portion of the colon, usually the problematic portion.

This process is called a colon resection or a colectomy, and it’s a minimally-invasive procedure that uses robotic surgery or laparoscopic methods. It has few risks of complications, and patients will recover quickly after it.

The Thyroid gland controls the growth and development of the body, and it’s located in the anterior portion of the neck, above the collarbone. It’s one of the most important organs in the human body, as it regulates your body’s metabolism in several ways. Thyroid afflictions can be benign or malignant, depending on the cause and symptoms.

Both of these may require surgery in serious cases. The thyroidectomy involves the complete removal of the thyroid gland, and it’s a minimally-invasive procedure that has minimal risks, improved cosmesis, and very good patient outcomes.

The thyroid lobectomy, on the other hand, involves the partial removal of the thyroid gland if the doctor does not consider it necessary to remove the gland entirely. And if a thyroid mass or nodule is observed, the biopsy becomes a necessity to look deeper into the matter.

An ultrasound of the thyroid is usually used to discover the initial thyroid mass, but a needle biopsy may also work in other circumstances. It’s good to know that both thyroidectomy and thyroid lobectomy are minimally invasive procedures with excellent patient outcomes.

The recent advancements in medical surgery technologies have made this procedure much more effective and optimal in terms of pain management, risk of complications, cosmesis, and patient outcome.

Lipoma Removal

When you find a soft and painless lump on your back, neck, or shoulders, it might be a lipoma. This is a fatty rumor that isn’t malignant or cancer-related. Fortunately, it’s usually harmless and can be removed through surgery.

If you want the lipoma to be removed or if the symptoms get worse, we’re there for you. Our clinic performs a minimally invasive procedure to eliminate the lipoma safely and efficiently. There’s minimal scarring involved, minimal pain, and a very quick recovery. After applying the anesthesia, we make a small incision, and we remove the lipoma entirely.

Afterward, we send it to the laboratory for a biopsy for a more in-depth look. Fortunately, these growths are noncancerous and only consist of fat cells that are enclosed in tissue layers, creating lumps. They will grow with age and are mostly associated with glucose intolerance, liver disease, obesity, and alcohol abuse.

There aren’t many symptoms associated with a lipoma other than being able to see or feel it. They only become painful if they grow large enough to put pressure on the nerves. They can also become painful if they form in muscles or organs, though this is an uncommon occurrence.

Either way, you should schedule an appointment and have a doctor evaluate your lipoma!

Wound care is a necessary service across many clinics because many non-healing wounds often lead to infections and other serious complications. Even slowly-healing wounds may lead to complications if not taken care of. Our doctors are the top surgeons at the South Florida Surgery Clinic, so you can trust them completely!

They’ve dealt with many wounds throughout their years of practice, and they understand that rapid care is essential to avoid complications. We offer same-day or next-day appointments for urgent wound care needs at all our offices.

You need a medical expert to take care of your slowly-healing or non-healing wound, so we recommend scheduling an appointment right away. It’s no use waiting for it to heal if it hasn’t already. If infection occurs, it may spread to the surrounding tissue, which will only make matters worse.

When you develop a wound that refuses to heal properly or at all, you may get several symptoms, like prolonged fever, drainage from the wound, redness, pain, swelling, yellowish discharge, or a dark or blue color around the wound. Whenever you find these symptoms, schedule an appointment with your doctor!
