Minimally invasive. Maximum outcomes.
When surgery becomes a necessary part of the treatment of cancer, it is important to know where your surgeon and hospital stands in terms of their philosophy, training and technological tools.
The Jewish Hospital has made a complete commitment to provide patients with world-class minimally invasive approaches to the surgical treatment of cancer, all certified by the American College of Surgeons Committee on Cancer. This includes minimally invasive surgical treatments of breast cancer, colon cancer, lung cancer and renal cancer without compromising outcomes for the patients. In fact, minimally invasive treatments usually improve outcomes:
- Our surgeons have embraced the minimally invasive philosophy and have mastered the sophisticated skills necessary to provide patients with the best possible outcomes. Surgeons from around the world travel to Jewish Hospital to observe the surgeons who practice here.
- We made a major investment in the equipment and technology needed to offer the most up-to-date minimally invasive surgical cancer treatments. Jewish Hospital has four state-of-the-art operating rooms, with high definition imaging capabilities and voice activated controls.
- Our operating room staff is among the most experienced and dedicated in Greater Cincinnati.
The benefits to this approach for patients include faster recovery times, shorter hospital stays, improved cosmetics, and less pain and scarring. And most importantly, these benefits are obtained with better outcomes, and without jeopardizing the primary goal of getting rid of the cancer.
For patients, please speak with your physician about utilizing the surgical cancer services of Jewish Hospital.
For physicians, please contact Elliot Fegelman, M.D., FACS, director of surgery for Jewish Hospital at 513-686-5466. Our surgeons will keep you informed and work closely with you to return patients to your care.
