Diagnostic laparoscopy is a procedure that allows a health care provider to look directly at the contents of a patient's abdomen or pelvis.
Epigastric Hernia surgery is typically performed using general anesthesia and can be done on an inpatient or outpatient basis. Special care should be taken to adequately prepare children for the surgery. Surgery is performed by a pediatric general surgeon or a pediatric colon-rectal specialist.
Gastric Resection
Gastric resection is the surgical removal of part or all of the stomach, usually performed in the treatment of stomach cancer or intractable peptic ulcer.
Heller Esophagomyotomy
Esophagomyotomy is an incision through the muscular coat of the esophagus.
Hiatal Hernia Repair
Incision Hernia Repair
Incisional hernia repair is a surgical procedure performed to correct an incisional hernia. An incisional hernia, also called a ventral hernia, is a bulge or protrusion that occurs near or directly along a prior abdominal surgical incision. The surgical repair procedure is also known as incisional or ventral herniorrhaphy.
Inguinal hernia repair is surgery to repair a hernia in the abdominal wall of your groin. A hernia is tissue that bulges out of a weak spot in the abdominal wall. Your intestines may bulge out through this weakened area.
During hernia repair, this bulging tissue is pushed back in. Your abdominal wall is strengthened and supported with sutures (stitches), and sometimes mesh.
Nissen Fundoplication
Nissen Fundoplication a surgical procedure to treat gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and hiatal hernia. In GERD it is usually performed when medical therapy has failed, but with paraesophageal hiatus hernia, it is the first-line procedure.
Paraesophageal Hernia Repair
Paraesophageal Hernias can successfully and safely be repaired laparoscopically (with about 5 very small incisions) and through the abdomen (rather than the chest cavity). The laparoscopic repair of large paraesophageal hernias (most of the stomach resides above the diaphragm in the chest cavity) is a complex procedure and should only be attempted by expert laparoscopic surgeons with extensive experience in laparoscopic foregut surgery.
Peritoneal Dialysis Catheter Placement
PD catheter placement is considered a minor operation and complications are rare.
Splenectomy

Umbilical Hernia Repair
Umbilical hernia can also be repaired using a laparoscope, a thin, lighted tube that lets the doctor see inside your belly. The laparoscope will be inserted through one of the cuts and instruments will be inserted through the other cuts.
Video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) is a type of thoracic surgery performed using a small video camera that is introduced into the patient's chest via a scope. The surgeon is able to view the instruments that are being used along with the anatomy on which the surgeon is operating. The camera and instruments are inserted through separate holes in the chest wall also known as "ports". These small ports are advantageous because the chance for infection and wound dehiscence are drastically reduced. This allows for a faster recovery by the patient and a greater chance for the wound to heal.
Ventral Hernia Repair
Ventral hernias come by different names and appear for different reasons, but they can be called umbilical hernias which are usually around the belly button.
