Vascular Surgery
Vascular surgery is the discipline of medicine which focuses on the disorders and treatment of blood vessels throughout the body (with the exception of heart and intracranial vessels). Vascular surgeons use interventional radiology and endoscopy to observe internal structures and to diagnose problems.
All patients with these arterial problems are strongly encouraged to stop smoking because smoking accelerates the arterial plaque forming process as well as weakens the arterial wall for aneurysm formation.

Laparoscopic Surgery
Laparoscopy is a minimally invasive technique used to perform certain surgeries. Benefits to laparoscopic surgery include reduced risk of infection, faster healing time, shorter hospital stay and a quicker return to normal activities.
Laparoscopic procedures are performed using several small incisions in the abdomen; one for a laparoscope that enables the surgeon to visualize his work with fiber optic light and a video camera; the remaining incisions are for instruments used in completing the operation. In order for the surgeon to be able to see and maneuver the instruments, carbon dioxide is used to inflate the abdomen creating space between the abdominal wall and organs. After the procedure is completed, the carbon dioxide is released.
The physicians at Dayton Surgeons have extensive experience in successfully completing minimally invasive procedures such as the ones listed here. Your surgeon can further explain laparoscopic surgery and determine if you are a candidate for this technique.
