This revolutionary outpatient procedure takes 60 minutes and requires only a small incision of about one inch compared to 10 to 12 inches for hospital-based surgeries. This minimizes blood loss during the operation and lessens the chance of infection. Because of the collateral damage to soft tissue – muscle and ligaments – is minimal in this new procedure, the recovery time for patients is a couple of days rather than three to four months. Patients today will experience a full recovery before hospital patients would even have been discharged.
