Minimally Invasive for Maximum Benefit

Many of the surgeries performed at the St.Vincent Center for Joint Replacement are minimally invasive procedures, which generally result in faster recovery times.

Both patients and physicians prefer minimally invasive procedures when appropriate because these procedures mean:

• Less trauma to the body, including less scarring
• Less blood loss, leading to fewer transfusions
• Less post-operative pain
• Decreased incidence of wound infections and other complications
• Shorter hospital stays
• Faster healing, which means a faster return to doing the things you enjoy
