Minimally invasive surgical techniques can make surgery easier and less traumatic for your child in many ways, and RMHC at P/SL has the most advanced pediatric minimally invasive operating rooms in the world.

Our doctors are leaders in minimally invasive techniques, which can be used for several pediatric surgical procedures, and can help your child by:

Decreasing pain: Minimally invasive surgeries require only very small incisions, which reduces trauma to the skin and muscle tissue over traditional surgical procedures. Smaller cuts mean less pain during recovery.

Creating little to no scar: Children who have surgeries when they are young often must live with large scars for their entire lives. Because we have the smallest minimally invasive instruments available, along with the best doctors trained in the latest techniques, we are able to minimize scarring—in some cases leaving a scar so small it is nearly invisible.

Speeding recovery time: When your child has a surgery with techniques that are less invasive and cause less trauma to the body, there is naturally a smaller recovery time. With a minimally invasive procedure, children often recover two to three times faster than with traditional surgeries. The doctors at RMHC at P/SL strive to do everything they can to get your child back up and playing as soon as possible.
