Gallbladder surgery (or cholecystectomy) is one of the most commonly performed in the United States. Robotic surgery provides better vision and the ability to see through tissues to identify the location of bile ducts with FireFly TechnologyTM. This helps avoid the most feared complication of cholecystectomy, injury to the bile.

This is facilitated by Dr. Johnson’s ability to sew the bowel connection robotically.

If an extraction incision is required, Dr. Johnson typically places this incision in the underwear line. This location hides this larger incision, when required, and places it in a location much less prone to developing a hernia in the incision

Laparoscopic hernia repairs typically do not close the hernia defect, but rather span the defect with a mesh, which is sub-optimal.
