Changing the Lives of Our Patients Through Safe, Effective Surgery
Minimized Scarring and
Recovery Time
With Laparoscopic Surgery
During laparoscopic surgery, Dr. St. Laurent makes a few small incisions on the abdomen through which he inserts a surgical camera (laparoscope) and small surgical tools. This lets him perform all weight loss surgeries with minimal incisions and alteration of tissue, which:
- Reduces the chances of surgical complications
- Produces less noticeable scarring
- Decreases recovery time
