Greetings, and welcome to MD News Long Island January.
One of the pleasures of this job is witnessing the technol-
ogy of medicine evolve and improve. Minimally invasive
procedures, for instance, have advanced significantly over
the past quarter of a century. Hesham Atwa, MD, FACS,
FASMBS, and his colleagues at Long Island Laparoscopic
Doctors use advanced robotic techniques to provide patients
with high-quality outcomes and lasting satisfaction. Our
cover story explores the wide range of procedures that
can now be performed without open surgery.
Our clinical section on orthopedics explores findings
that surgery is no better than nonoperative treatment
for certain humerus fractures. A separate article notes
the benefits of an additional surgical procedure among
patients who undergo ACL reconstruction.
Our national feature highlights anticipated cost trends
in health care, while locally, in our legal discussion, we
look at mitigating the risk associated with pediatric
malpractice claims. It's a nuanced situation—children
tend to inspire jury sympathy, so careful record keeping
is necessary. And our financial expert discusses the need
for members of Generation X to save money in as many
ways possible, from retirement accounts to HSAs.
