Minimally Invasive Surgery

Minimally Invasive Surgery

We understand that it can be concerning to you when your physician tells you need surgery. You will undoubtedly have many questions and you can rest assured that your Lifeline Medical Associates healthcare provider is here for you throughout the entire process.

Surgeries related to women’s healthcare can be minimally invasive, meaning you will potentially have fewer complications and less pain in your recovery. Techniques used for minimally invasive surgery use smaller incisions so there is less risk as well.

Types of minimally invasive surgery can include:

  • Laparoscopy – Also known as endoscopy, this type of surgery uses small tubes and tiny cameras to guide the surgeon. Typically, the tube contains very small surgical instruments, which the surgeon is able to use while viewing the procedure on a monitor.
  • Robotic surgery – n this type of surgery, the physician has even greater control, enabling them to perform extremely precise procedures. The surgeon will operate from a console that is equipped with robotic arms. Viewing a high definition 3-D image on the console, the surgeon operates with flexibility and control.

Dr.Austin has excellent bedside manner and always takes the time to answer all questions/concerns. I have seen her exclusively for a few years now but have been a patient of the practice since 2010. She is the reason that I've stayed with the practice and will continue to stay her patient for as long as she retires hopefully.

Dr Defalco is great, but I was basically examined in a storage room with an exam table in it.

Pap Smear

The doctor was very professional. She sensitively described what she was going to do throughout the exam before any procedure was performed. She was a good listener, gentle, caring and had good eye contact. I am at high risk for breast cancer…she checked to make sure that I followed up with the referral that was made to Morristown Breast Associate’s at Morristown Memorial Hospital. She left no stone unturned and I greatly appreciated her thoroughness.
