Minimally Invasive Surgery
Dr. Proehl and Dr. Woodland's training in the newest minimally invasive surgery techniques, combined with the skill and experience of the OSF staff, assures patients a speedy recovery. Small incision surgery is a possibility for many surgical procedures. The technology available at OSF Saint James - John W. Albrecht Medical Center allows Dr. Proehl and Dr. Woodland to see vivid color images of procedures as they occur, providing patients with precise care, resulting in less pain and shorter hospital stays.
Breast Conservation Surgery
According to the National Breast Cancer Foundation, women receive a breast cancer diagnosis more than any other cancer except skin cancer.
At OSF Medical Group - General Surgery (Pontiac), we understand that the words "breast cancer" can be scary to hear. That's why we take extra care with our patients in offering them the latest surgical techniques and technology to conserve as much breast tissue as possible.
