Why Robotic and Minimally Invasive Laparoscopic Surgery?
Robotic and minimally invasive surgery consists of methods that reduce the impact on the body compared to traditional/older methods, which usually involve larger incisions. These older methods can put patients at higher risk of wound infections, stiff/painful scars, incisional hernias, intestinal adhesions, and more painful and prolonged recovery.

Dr. Nichol first went over my options for my two hernias. He was very informative and laid out all my options. Letting me know it wasn’t urgent and if I wanted to I could postpone the surgery for a few months. The procedure was flawless and the recovery process has been great so far.
