There have been many advances in surgery in the past two decades. Using minimally invasive techniques, procedures that once required prolonged hospitalizations can now be done on an outpatient basis. Procedures with significant morbidity and mortality are now done with minimal risks. Traditional surgeries were associated with debilitating pain and required extended recoveries and weeks of missed work. Now patients can be back to their lives within a few days. Dr. James Bradley Ray is the leading laparoscopic surgeon in the region. We are the only practice in the area dedicated to advanced laparoscopy. Our facility is dedicated to advanced laparoscopy as well. Our state of the art surgical center was built solely for that purpose. Every detail in planning revolved around the basic fundamental principle of building the best laparoscopic center possible. There are quite simply no other facilities like this in south-central Indiana. As a result, we have built a center that enhances the health of all patients in south central Indiana. We are able to offer minimally invasive bariatric surgery for people who suffer from obesity. We are able to offer outpatient gall bladder surgery, minimally invasive hernia surgery and many other procedures that would otherwise need to be done through a large incision. We have the most experience in advanced laparoscopic surgery in the region and have the largest Lap Band practice in the state..
