Advanced surgical techniques at Inland Valley Hospital include:

• Minimally invasive surgery

Minimally invasive surgery usually results in quicker healing and less scarring. Surgeons make small pencil-sized holes in the body and insert small video cameras to provide magnified views and help them guide small surgical instruments through the body to the surgery site.

Because the procedure is performed through a small incision, patients often experience smaller scars and quicker recoveries.
