Minimally Invasive Surgery (MIS)

Saint Francis Hospital is a regional leader in minimally invasive and robotic surgery, offering patients access to advanced surgical techniques designed to reduce pain, shorten recovery times, and minimize hospital stays. Our surgeons utilize state of the art laparoscopic and robotic platforms to treat both routine and complex conditions with precision and compassion.

As part of Trinity Health Of New England, our MIS program emphasizes a multidisciplinary, patient centered approach—combining surgical expertise, evidence based practices, and coordinated perioperative care. Whether addressing common surgical conditions or complex abdominal disease, patients benefit from high quality outcomes and personalized care close to home.
