Minimally Invasive Options

The surgeons at AdventHealth Heart of Florida perform minimally invasive procedures whenever possible. By using miniature cameras with microscopes, tiny fiber-optic flashlights and high-definition monitors, surgeons can perform surgery through small incisions that take only a few stitches to close. Minimally invasive procedures may result in less blood loss, less pain and a quicker recovery. We offer:

  • Arthroscopic surgery
  • Endovascular techniques (catheter-guided procedures)
  • Laparoscopic surgery
  • Laser surgery
  • Robotic surgery
  • Orthopedic robotics, including joint-replacement surgery

Surgical Care That Promotes Wellness

Improving Your Health Across Specialties of Care

When other treatment options have been ineffective or aren’t appropriate for your situation, our specialists sometimes need to use a surgical procedure to correct or manage your health condition.

We provide a full range of surgical services in almost every medical specialty – everything from general surgery, joint replacement and hernia surgery to minimally invasive and robotic-assisted surgical options.

And many surgeries performed at our facility can be done on an outpatient basis, meaning you’ll return home the same day as your procedure. When you require an additional hospital stay, we offer dedicated care teams to help you recover as quickly as possible

Our skilled teams work closely with you, your family and your primary care doctor to help you understand your surgical care plan, answer your questions and address any concerns you may have. Here, our focus is on patient safety, care and comfort.
