Common (and painful) issues like gallbladder problems, hernias, hemorrhoids can often be taken care of with minimally invasive operations. In most cases, patients can go home the same day the operation is performed — allowing them to feel better and get back to their loved ones. So don’t delay and get some pain relief.
