The Institute for Advanced and Minimally Invasive Surgery
New York Methodist Hospital was one of the first surgical teaching
hospitals in the United States. Its Department of Surgery was founded by
a pioneer surgeon, Lewis S. Pilcher, who also founded the Annals of
Surgery. The Hospital's Institute for Advanced and Minimally Invasive
Surgery at New York Methodist Hospital continues a proud tradition.
The Institute offers a range of procedures involving surgical techniques that encompass laparoscopy, endoscopy, robotics and other advanced surgical technologies. These techniques usually involve a smaller incision, faster patient recovery, less pain after surgery, a shorter hospital stay, fewer wound complications and a better cosmetic outcome.
