Open Surgery
Open surgery, also called laparotomy, is any surgical procedure in which a large cut/incision is made to reach your organs. The incision must be large enough for your surgeon to fit his or her hands and surgical instruments inside your body.
-
Laparoscopic Surgery
Wilmington Health is pleased to offer minimally invasive laparoscopic surgery for a variety of conditions. Laparoscopic surgery is less painful, lets you recover faster, and gets you back to doing what you love sooner than traditional open surgery.
