28. Minimally Invasive Surgery A website explaining laparoscopic and minimally invasive surgical procedures for such conditions as digestive disorders and to diagnose varios disease processes. http://www.allhealth.edu/mis/

Revolutionizing surgery with innovative techniques For many surgical procedures, the method of choice has shifted from traditional open surgery to the use of less invasive means. These minimally invasive alternatives usually result in less pain, scarring and recovery time for the patient, as well as reduced health-care costs. This trend is predicted to continue, with estimates that as many as 70 percent of all high-volume surgeries performed in the United States will be done via laparoscopic techniques by the year 2000. The surgeons at Allegheny General are dedicated to bringing these surgical advances to patients as quickly as possible. To that end, the hospital created the Allegheny Center for Laparoscopic and Minimally Invasive Surgery. Particular focuses of the center are laparoscopic approaches to all areas of general, urologic, neuro- surgical, gynecologic, colorectal and cardiothoracic surgery. The treatment team includes specialists practicing in the areas of cardiothoracic surgery, gynecologic surgery, general surgery, colon and rectal surgery, neurosurgery, orthopaedic surgery, urologic surgery and oncologic surgery. Combining expertise with research Surgeons of the Allegheny Center for Laparoscopic and Minimally Invasive Surgery were the first in the tri-state region, and among the first in North America, to use minimally invasive approaches to diagnose and treat a number of coronary, thoracic, colorectal, spinal, esophageal and breast disorders.

The rest of the symptomatic population will remain by default victims of the “irritable bowel syndrome.” Most members of this symptomatic group will have other dysfunction associated with and probably caused by their digestive problems. Those who receive the diagnosis of irritable bowel syndrome will often receive inadequate or inappropriate advice and will be prescribed medication with limited efficacy. Very few long-suffering patients will receive adequate instruction in effective diet revision. Crohn’s, Celiac disease and Ulcerative Colitis are three of the more serious diagnoses that imply a long-term tendency to digestive tract disease. These digestive tract diseases are immune-mediated, with increased permeability of the digestive tract, and are associated with a long list of whole body, immune-mediated diseases. Patients with these conditions are often symptomatic for many years before the diagnosis is made.
