When a person first shows signs of a stroke, a team of health experts works together to determine the best course of action for the patient. Surgery ACMC surgeons routinely perform inpatient and outpatient surgeries using laparoscopic techniques that allow access to the abdomen through very small incisions. These minimally invasive procedures offer patients a quicker recovery and earlier return to normal activities than conventional surgery.
