The Minimally Invasive Surgery (MIS) includes a number of surgeons spread over several 91社区 teaching hospitals and 91社区 affiliated hospital sites including the 91社区 Health Centre, the Jewish General Hospital, and St Mary鈥檚 Hospital.
Minimally Invasive Surgery encompasses a broad range of clinical activities at 91社区. Laparoscopy is commonly used in the day to day practice of general surgeons at 91社区 for elective and emergency cases.
Advanced laparoscopic procedures are performed in a variety of different clinical specialties.
Our busy colorectal divisions at both the Montreal General and Jewish General Hospitals perform a significant proportion of colon and rectal cases for benign and malignant disease by laparoscopy.
Bariatric Surgery is performed at both the Royal Victoria and Lachine General sites of the 91社区 Health Centre and offers patients a range of advanced bariatric procedures including sleeve gastrectomy, roux-y gastric bypass and biliopancreatic diversion with duodenal switch.
Minimally invasive foregut surgery for benign disease such as paraesophageal hernia, achalasia and reflux disease and malignant disease including gastric and esophageal cancer is performed at a number of clinical sites.
We also perform Natural Orifice Transluminal Endoscopic Surgeries (NOTES) in the form of听Peroral Endoscopic Myotomy (POEM) for the treatment of Achalsia and other esophageal motility disorders.
Finally, solid organ surgery including splenectomy, adrenalectomy and donor nephrectomy are a strength of our division.
