In laparoscopy, the surgeon makes several small incisions through which slender surgical instruments are passed. This technique eliminates the need for a large incision and creates less tissue damage. Dr. Feng specializes in advanced laparoscopic techniques to allow patients to undergo surgery in the least invasive manner.  Sometimes, patients who are super-obese (more than 350 pounds) or have had previous abdominal operations may not be good candidates for laparoscopy, however. Each patient is evaluated carefully to discuss these issues.
