Laparoscopic surgery
Patients who have these procedures benefit from the same therapeutic benefits as those who have traditional open surgery, but with substantially less postoperative pain, fewer days in the hospital, faster recovery, and better cosmetic results.
Laparoscopy is a minimally invasive alternative to open surgery that involves seeing into the belly with a small camera called a laparoscope.
Small openings in the abdominal cavity allow it to happen. An endoscope with an attached microcamera is inserted through a small incision in the longitudinal fold of the umbilicus, providing a panoramic image of the organs of the abdominal cavity on a monitor.
The laparoscope transmits an image of the inside organs to a display, allowing the surgeon to perform various surgical procedures while being guided by the image. The laparoscope magnifies the image many times its original size, giving a better view of the abdominal organs.

Benefits
When opposed to regular surgery, working this method has significant advantages. Because it necessitates less chopping:
- Your scars are smaller.
- You are able to leave the hospital sooner.
- While the scars heal, you’ll have less pain and they’ll heal faster.
- You are able to resume your regular activities sooner.
- There’s a chance you’ll have less interior scarring.
Here’s an example.Traditional procedures may need you to stay in the hospital for a week or longer for colon surgery, with a total recovery time of 4 to 8 weeks. If you have laparoscopic surgery, you may only need to stay in the hospital for two nights and recuperate in two or three weeks. In addition, a shorter hospital stay is usually less expensive.

What Our Patients Say
“For me Doctor Pablo García is an excellent doctor and human being. You feel full confidence once you enter his consultation, he asks you and is interested in how you feel, he explains what procedure is convenient for you and the entire process and protocol that must be followed. A spectacular follow-up team. Today it is 4 months since my surgery and I feel very happy and more than satisfied with this process of having a healthier and happier lifestyle.”
“I decided to put in the hands of Dr. Pablo Garcia one of the most important decisions of my life and every day I thank God for how wonderful my process has been, from the pre-operative period and the logistics to see each of the specialists, all from the hand of Dr. Rivera, Estrella, Loren and Noelia. Today, 12 days after my gastric sleeve surgery, I can say that, to my surprise, I have never felt pain. With Dr. Pablo, I got rid of all my doubts related to surgery and I have learned a lot about obesity. Thank you doctor for sharing so much knowledge on his IG, for offering so many details, and for showing us a live surgery. Dr. Pablo Gracia is a tremendous professional.”
“I loved my experience with Dr Pablo Garcia. Very friendly and professional, the attention of him and his team were exceptional. Very different from what I am used to here in the Dominican Republic. I have been post-op for 6 months now and everything is going very well and I am delighted with the results. I recommend it 100% especially to patients who arrive outside the country since they give you the attention and guidance necessary so that you can understand the entire procedure and feel confident. I also recommend his book I AM MORE THAN MY BALANCE. I read it in 3 days, I couldn’t stop reading, it guides you to understand obesity and to overcome it long before surgery. It will literally change your life.”
