Our Surgical Approach
At Medistar, we adopt a “minimally invasive whenever possible” philosophy. Using laparoscopic and endoscopic technologies, our surgeons perform operations through tiny incisions that minimize tissue trauma, pain, and infection risk. This approach leads to:
Reduced hospital stay

Day-care or short-stay surgical options
Minimal scarring and improved cosmetic results
Each patient undergoes a thorough pre-surgical evaluation, including advanced imaging and anesthesia clearance, ensuring complete safety and preparedness before surgery.
