To learn more about a brand new surgical technique, doctors didn't sit in a conventional classroom setting. Instead, classes happened with an 85-foot tractor-trailer that transforms right into a moving training facility. On March 4, the Covidien Single Incision Laparoscopic Surgery mobile tour was at Summit Healthcare for the surgeons to learn the raised SILS procedure.

Along with potentially reducing scar visibility, the SILS technique may also eliminate wound pain related to multiple points of entry and bring about a shortened recovery time.
