Minimally Invasive Procedures
Urologists at Saint Joseph Hospital utilize advanced technology that allows a less invasive approach to surgery. Today, many urologic disorders can be treated with Laparoscopic Surgery, which requires making small incisions in the skin. The procedure results in less post-operative pain, shorter hospital stays and quicker recoveries.
