| 2005: Minimally
Invasive Surgery Center
Celebrates 10 Years of Laparoscopic Surgeries! |
|
 In
the past 10 years, minimally
invasive techniques have
evolved significantly
and this can be seen across
many surgical disciplines," said
Dr. James W. Maher, interim
chairman of the Division
of General Surgery.
Today,
laparoscopic surgery results
in less post-surgery pain,
fewer complications, less
scaring and a faster recovery
time. At the MIS Center,
minimally invasive techniques
are used in a wide-range
of surgical procedures
across all surgical disciplines.
These surgeries, once requiring
extended hospital stays
and long recovery periods,
are now done routinely
using techniques pioneered
here at the VCU Health
System's MIS Center. Learn

1998: Minimally
Invasive Surgery Operating
Rooms Undergo
$1 Million
Laparoscopic Imaging
Upgrade |
MIS
Center's operating rooms
undergo a $1 million laparoscopic
imaging upgrade becoming
the 1st in the country
to use high-resolution
cameras and screens to
enhance surgeon's view
of the operation area.
The enhanced
images enable surgeons
to perform delicate instrument
maneuvers more naturally
and precisely. Surgeons
are provided a greater
depth of view, a
3-dimensional effect
allowing them to more easily
identify anatomical structures.
The new
camera systems are used
in procedures such as gastric
bypass surgery, gall bladder
and hernia procedures,
orthopaedics, chest surgery,
and in OB/GYN cases.

| 1995: Recognizing
the growing need for laparoscopic
surgery, VCU
Health System opens the
Minimally Invasive Surgery
Center. |
