Laparoscopic Procedures for Digestive Conditions
520 East 70th Street, Starr Pavilion, 8th Floor
New York, NY 10021
The gastrointestinal system includes all organs involved in digestion. Some gastrointestinal disorders may require surgical treatment to improve patients’ quality of life.
At Weill Cornell Medicine, our surgeons specialize in treating all gastrointestinal conditions using minimally invasive techniques, a type of surgery that benefits patients with reduced pain, bleeding and recovery time.
Laparoscopy is a type of minimally invasive surgery that uses small incisions (cuts). During the procedure, a thin camera (laparoscope) is inserted through the incision into the abdomen. This tool is used to see the body’s organs clearly so that surgeons can effectively treat the specific area.
