Minimally Invasive Surgery

OSF St. Francis Hospital & Medical Group offers many minimally invasive surgical options for the comfort and well-being of our patients. With minimally invasive laparoscopic surgery, incisions are smaller, the patient's length of stay is reduced and infection rates are reduced.

Many surgeries can be done on an outpatient basis, rather than as an inpatient, allowing patients to return home the same day of their surgery. Recovery times are usually shorter, meaning a quicker return to work or other normal daily activities.

Minimally invasive procedures available at OSF St. Francis Hospital & Medical Group include gall bladder removal, appendix removal, hernia repair, hysterectomy and more.

Surgical Suites
Our four surgical suites feature high-definition cameras and screens, LED lighting and access to digital images via the new Picture Archive Communication System (PACS).

Our Staff
Our surgeons are trained in the newest minimally invasive surgery techniques. Combined with the skill and experience of the OSF medical staff, this assures patients a speedy recovery. The technology available at OSF St. Francis allows surgeons to see vivid color images of procedures as they occur, providing patients with precise care, resulting in less pain and shorter hospital stays.
