At Paul Surgical Care, Dr. Kyle Paul performs most procedures using robotic or laparoscopic techniques to offer patients less pain, smaller incisions, and faster recovery. But every patient is different — and when open surgery is the safest and most effective option, he provides that with the same precision, care, and expertise.
Robotic-assisted surgery allows Dr. Paul to perform procedures with enhanced precision, flexibility, and control. Using a surgical robot (like the da Vinci system), he operates through small incisions while viewing the anatomy in high-definition 3D.
Smaller incisions, less scarring
Shorter hospital stays
Faster recovery
Less post-op pain and fewer complications
Greater surgical precision — especially in delicate areas like the esophagus or pelvis
Hiatal hernia repair
Gallbladder removal
Hernia repair
Colon surgery
Laparoscopy is a minimally invasive technique using small incisions, a camera, and long instruments. Dr. Paul has extensive experience performing laparoscopic procedures and often uses it for patients who don’t require robotic assistance.
Similar advantages to robotic surgery
Typically done as an outpatient procedure
Ideal for many abdominal and GI conditions
While most patients qualify for a minimally invasive approach, open surgery is sometimes the best or safest choice — especially in emergency situations, complex cases, or patients with significant scar tissue from previous surgeries.
