SCOPE OF PRACTICE
Laparoscopic/Minimally Invasive Surgery
Providing advanced laparoscopic surgery with state of the art technology such as the harmonic scapel and intraoperative ultrasound. Minimally invasive or laparoscopic surgery has been a revolution for all surgeons. Procedures which in the past required long hospital stays can now be done as day surgery procedures most of the time. Incisions are smaller with laparoscopic surgery. Pain is usually less requiring fewer narcotics. There is also less disruption and manipulation of intra abdominal organs than with open surgery. This leads to a more rapid return of bowel function. Return to work time is also usually less with laparoscopic surgery. We offer a wide range of procedures using laparoscopic techniques. During his training Dr. McDearmont worked at the Southwestern Center for Minimally Invasive Surgery. This is a well respected national center for training laparoscopic surgeons. Laparoscopic cholecystectomy, appendectomy, colon resection, spleenectomy, and diagnostic laparoscopy are all procedures within the scope of our practice. Laparoscopic gallbladder removal is usually done as a day surgery. Patients with appendicitis can usually go home within 36 hours after laparoscopic appendectomy.
Breast Cancer Surgery
A comprehensive approach to patients with breast cancer is essential. Dr. McDearmont works closely with a team of oncologists, pathologists, and radiologists to provide his patients with the best comprehensive breast cancer care available. All necessary surgical and non-surgical treatment options are available. This diagnosis is life changing and Dr. McDearmont takes the time with each patient to answer any and all questions before surgical treatment begins. Modalities such as digital mammography, breast MRI, sentinel lymph node mapping, and intraoperative ultrasound are all available. Dr. McDearmont has taken additional steps by joining the American Society of Breast Surgeons to make sure he stays up to date on the latest in advances in breast cancer treatment.
