Of all branches of medicine, perhaps none demand more precise skill than surgery. The success of any operation depends upon the ability of the surgeon to achieve accurate results with his expert use of the most effective tools available. Modern advances in medical technology have given those in the surgical profession a capacity for healing never before possible. Dr. Vicente D. Cabansag, Jr. has developed a high level of expertise with a personal commitment to each of those entrusted in his care.

Dr. Cabansag brings the latest technological advances to his patients. He is an expert in laser surgery and uses this modern tool for skin and gynecologic procedures.

Today's Technology
The benefits of the laser: One of the most revolutionary advances developed by modern medical technology is the laser. This highly concentrated beam of light serves many health related purposes. Perhaps the greatest advantage is its precision in a wide array of delicate surgical procedures. Dr. Cabansag has extensive experience using lasers in the field of general surgery. His office is equipped with a CO2 laser.

Dermatology: The removal of unwanted or dangerous warts, moles and other skin lesions is made simpler with the precise application of the laser beam.

Gynecology: With the use of the laser, abnormal conditions in the reproductive tract can be destroyed with accuracy, fewer risks, and relatively no pain.
 


Advances in Laparoscopy
Laparoscopic surgery is another one of the most progressive innovations the medical world has seen in recent years. The laparoscopic is a tool which allows your surgeon to see and operate inside your body through a small tube connected to a video monitor. Laparoscopic techniques can be performed as an outpatient procedure. This results in a faster recovery time, as well as less risk and pain. Some of the areas where Dr. Cabansag uses laparoscopy are gallbladder removal and gynecological diagnosis and treatment.

Medical Care
Dr. Cabansag also offers medical care for common diseases such as diabetes, hypertension, arthritis and much more.
