Advanced Laparoscopic Associates in New Jersey

Primarily performed with minimally invasive laparoscopic or robotic techniques. This surgery removes inflamed or diseased gallbladders (often due to gallstones) to alleviate pain, prevent complications, and restore digestive wellness with minimal downtime.

This surgery strengthens or reconstructs the lower esophageal sphincter to stop stomach acid from entering the esophagus. Helping patients find long-term relief from chronic heartburn and regurgitation when medication isn't enough to manage their symptoms.

Most medical treatments work by neutralizing or suppressing stomach acid, but they do not fix the structural problem causing the fluid to escape. Anti-reflux surgery corrects the underlying mechanical issue by strengthening or rebuilding the natural barrier between your stomach and esophagus.

Hepatobiliary (HPB) surgery is a specialized branch of general surgery focused on diagnosing and treating complex conditions affecting the liver, pancreas, colon, gallbladder, and bile ducts.

Our experienced surgeons utilize advanced, minimally invasive laparoscopic and robotic techniques whenever possible. This helps to manage benign diseases, complex stone conditions, and tumors. This helps to preserve the function of vital organs and promote optimal patient recovery.

Hernia surgery repairs a tear or weak spot in the abdominal muscle wall where tissue or organs bulge through. Using open, laparoscopic, or robotic-assisted techniques, surgeons safely reposition the tissue and reinforce the weakened area with mesh to restore wall integrity, relieve pain, and prevent serious complications.

Ways to Avoid Getting Another Hernia

Can a Hernia Return After Surgery?

Yes, a hernia can recur if the repaired tissue or surrounding abdominal wall experiences significant strain or weakens over time. Following post-surgery recovery guidelines, maintaining a healthy weight, and avoiding heavy lifting during healing can help reduce this risk.

These terms involve a variety of surgical procedures designed to address conditions affecting the gastrointestinal tract and the surrounding muscular support structure. Our surgeons utilize advanced open, laparoscopic, and robotic techniques to repair complex abdominal wall defects, reconstruct tissue, and treat intestinal disorders.

The goal with these surgical procedures is to restore proper digestive function, strengthen structural integrity, and promote patient recovery.

Focuses on treating conditions, tumors, and diseases affecting non-hollow abdominal and endocrine organs, including the liver, pancreas, spleen, kidneys, colon, and adrenal glands, utilizing advanced open, laparoscopic, and robotic techniques to ensure optimal patient outcomes.

This minor surgical procedure is performed to remove benign skin growths, fatty tumors (lipomas), cysts, or other soft tissue lesions. Our surgeons use minimally invasive or open techniques to remove the mass to relieve discomfort, restore normal appearance, and confirm a diagnosis.

Bariatric revision surgery is a specialized procedure performed to modify, repair, or convert a previous weight-loss operation. It helps address inadequate weight loss, weight regain, or medical complications to restore long-term health and wellness.

Gastric bypass (Roux-en-Y) is a minimally invasive weight-loss procedure that creates a small upper stomach pouch and reroutes a portion of the small intestine. This restricts food intake, reduces calorie and nutrient absorption, and changes gut hormones to promote significant, long-term weight loss and health improvement.

Gastric sleeve surgery (sleeve gastrectomy) is a minimally invasive bariatric procedure in which a large portion of the stomach is removed, leaving a small, sleeve-shaped stomach pouch. This reduces the amount of food the stomach can hold and lowers the production of appetite-stimulating hormones, promoting effective and sustainable weight loss.

An adjustable gastric band (often referred to as a Lap-Band) is a minimally invasive bariatric procedure designed to assist with gradual, long-term weight loss. During this procedure, an inflatable silicone band is placed around the upper portion of the stomach to create a small pouch.

This reduces overall stomach capacity and slows the passage of food, helping patients feel full faster and maintain portion control while allowing for adjustments based on individual weight-loss needs.

Duodenal Switch (DS) and is a highly effective bariatric surgical procedure designed for individuals with severe obesity or metabolic disease. This surgery combines a sleeve gastrectomy—which reduces the stomach capacity—with an intestinal bypass to restrict calorie and nutrient absorption.

Single Anastomosis Duodenal-Ileostomy with Sleeve Gastrectomy (SADI-S) is a modernized, streamlined variation of the classic duodenal switch that utilizes a single intestinal loop connection (anastomosis) to shorten operative time and lower surgical risks while preserving significant long-term weight loss and metabolic benefits.
