Thomas R. Dr.Gadacz prefers the path of least resis-
tance... at least in the operating room.
It's the path of the
laparoscope, which lets him make small incisions, then peer inside the body to see and work.
It's a path he's walked with Dr. Edward K. Mark. MCG neurosurgeon, find- ing a way to improve a procedure that reduces high, destructive pressures inside the head.
It's a path he's walked with Dr. Renato Saltz, MCG plastic surgeon, find- ing a safe way to remove a
large piece of fat, rich with blood vessels and ideal for covering large, open body wounds caused by trauma or surgery.
It's a path that's find-
ing its way into every sub- specialty of surgery as doctors look for better, less-invasive ways to do their job. "(Operating) through small incisions results in less trauma since we don't manipulate the organs as much as we do through an open procedure," said Dr. Gadacz, gastrointestinal surgeon and chairman of the MCG Department of Surgery. "With an open
procedure, you have to lift up on the abdominal wall. You have to push organs away to get exposure. With laparoscopy, gas inflates the abdomen so you can see, like the superdome." Laparoscopy also elim- inates the need for sponges and retractors, which mini- mizes organ trauma. The
result is a shorter hospital stay and recovery time. Bowel function returns faster, and nausea— common side-effect of conventional surgery—is forestalled. Laparascopy requires one to five tiny incisions, but "these are like bruises.

MEDICAL COLLEGE OF GEORGIA TODAY Take a look at HALLMARK HEALTHCARE CORP.
Today, more physicians are looking to get away from the stress of a big-city, big-hospital atmosphere. They want more for their hard work and more for their families.
In fact, they want it all. A first-rate healthcare facility. A profitable practice. A family- oriented community. Access to a large city for dining, shopping, and entertainment.
Good schools for their children. A challenging work environment. And most of all, personal fulfillment.
If you want it all, Hallmark Healthcare Corp. can help:
• Create a financial package to meet your family's needs. • Schedule a tour of the community surrounding your new hospital for you and your spouse.
• Manage your relocation completely. HHC arranges for your relocation with a bonded national moving company that will load, unload, and even unpack your new home. • Help you set up practice. HHC guarantees a minimum annual income for your first year in practice by subsidizing the difference between your collections and an agreed-upon annual income during that year.
