Dr. Keith Monson Offers Single-Incision Laparoscopic Surgery 

Single-Incision Laparoscopic Surgery: Minimally invasive surgery keeps getting less invasive and the latest development uses a single small incision hidden in the belly-button to complete major operations with almost no scarring. Dr. Keith Monson, a board certified surgeon with DuPage Medical Group, is the only surgeon in the area who currently offers this option.  At this time, the technique is done primarily for cholecystectomy (removal of the gallbladder), but Dr. Monson hopes to expand this to encompass additional procedures in the near future.

The advantage of this technique is primarily cosmetic, as the single incision can be essentially hidden in the umbilicus (belly-button).  There is also some evidence that this procedure may be associated with less post-operative pain.

Dr. Monson has found that many patients, but especially those with cosmetic concerns, are quite enthusiastic about the prospect of this approach. Referring physicians are encouraged to keep this option in mind for their patients with gallbladder disease.

Dr. Keith Monson has consult locations available in Hinsdale, Lombard, and Naperville.

Concerns About Swine Flu…

There have now been confirmed reports of swine flu in Illinois.  DuPage Medical Group is following all precautions and protocols set forth by the Illinois Department of Public Health (IDPH). According to the IDPH, it is important to practice the following precautions: “cover your cough or sneeze, wash your hands frequently, and see your doctor if you have fever, cough, sore throat, body aches, headache, chills and fatigue. If you get sick, stay home and limit contact with others to avoid infecting them.” Please refer to the attached health alerts from the DuPage County Health Department for key facts about swine flu and helpful prevention tips.
