The Pearl SurgiCenter is a state-of-the-art Ambulatory Surgery Facility designed to provide patients with a warm and comfortable alternative to the often times overwhelming hospital environment. Our Medicare Certified, AAAHC (American Association of Ambulatory Health Center) approved operating room was designed by a surgeon to specifically meet the needs of minimally invasive procedures.
What is Minimally Invasive Surgery (MIS)?
Historically, surgeons performed most operations with large incisions across the abdomen, only occasionally using small incisions to take a quick look prior to these more invasive approaches. These large incisions are traumatic for the body, resulting in pain and a longer healing process.
As technology has transformed our personal lives, it has also revolutionized the surgical world, opening up new opportunity to replace large incisions with tiny ones. This is the basic concept of MIS. Small incisions minimize pain, cause much less trauma and allow for speedy recoveries. It is rapidly moving toward becoming the new gold standard for many surgical procedures.
MIS procedures often times incorporate the use of endoscopic equipment such as a laparoscope to view the internal organs of a patient on a television screen or video monitor. These tools can be very delicate and require gentle and meticulous care to perform as expected. Pearl SurgiCenter features the most advanced technology available. From an efficient operating room to the very best endoscopic equipment, our commitment to patient care is second to none. The best equipment, along with highly experienced personnel enhance the safety and overall patient experience.
Our uniquely talented staff includes both board certified anesthesiologists and certified registered nurse anesthetists. Our comfortable preoperative and post anesthesia care unit provide not only the highest level of care but a warm, relaxing environment to help get you home quickly.
How is MIS used?
MIS allows for enormously successful outcomes with tiny incisions in many procedures. From Hysterectomy to Gallbladder removal, from LapBanding to Endoscopic Brow Lift, from Liposuction to Incontinence Correction, our surgeons are committed to using the latest technology to achieve the highest level of success, all in the comfortable and stress reduced environment of Pearl Women’s Center’s outpatient surgery center.
