Byron A Brown MD
One of the interests of Byron A Brown MD, a dedicated and established surgeon, is the development of laparoscopic surgery. This surgical procedure is also referred to as minimally invasive surgery. Laparoscopic surgery refers to the performance of surgical procedures that use a video camera and several small instruments to aid with the procedure.
This surgery involves small incisions to be made on a patient, which are then filled with a small plastic tube called a port, which allows access for small surgical instruments to go inside of the patient. A tiny camera is also inserted, which allows the surgeon to see the patient’s organs without having to make large incisions.
Laparoscopic surgery has many benefits over more traditional surgical methods. These operations cause much less post-operative discomfort, as the incisions are so much smaller. As a result, the recovery time of patients is usually much faster. Patients also do not have to stay at the hospital for as long post-surgery, and can return to rigorous activity much faster. Because of the smaller incisions, laparoscopic surgery also causes less scarring, both internally and externally.
Advancements in technology and medicine have allowed innovative procedures like laparoscopic surgery to begin replacing more harmful, traditional methods. Laparoscopic surgery is less invasive, more efficient, and is paving the way for better medical practices.
Byron A Brown MD has become interested in many innovative new surgical methods, technologies, and practices. He keeps up to date with all of the new procedures that are showing up in the medical world.
