Close Up TV News Recognizes Dr. Rao Ballem MD for his Continued Commitment to Innovation in General Surgery

GLEN RIDGE, N.J., July 31 /PRNewswire/ -- Close Up TV News recognizes Dr. Rao Ballem MD for his continued commitment to innovation in general surgery.

For over 25 years Dr. Ballem (http://www.breastcarecenter.com/) has promoted the use of new techniques and technologies at his general surgery practice, where he treats hernias, varicose veins and other problems involving the colon, stomach and breast. By passing on the benefits of these innovations to his patients Dr. Ballem has become one of New Jersey's most highly regarded surgeons.

20 million people in this country suffer from gall bladder related diseases. In 1990, Dr. Ballem was one of the first surgeons in New Jersey to perform laparoscopic gall bladder surgery. He has since completed over 5,000 more successful laparoscopic operations.

"In the past we used to make a big incision," explains Dr. Ballem. "Laparoscopy Surgery eliminates the need to open an abdominal cavity. Now we can go through the belly button using three tiny incisions and remove the gall bladder. This yields more cosmetically acceptable results with less pain and less recovery time."

This is true of nearly all the procedures Dr. Ballem performs, which also include minimal access surgery to remove breast lumps. Dr. Ballem's is the only practice in the state that uses a stereotactic technology called a SiteSelect, which allows the removal of a tumor mass without removing any of the non-affected breast tissue. Dr. Ballem has also introduced the Trivex system, a new treatment for varicose veins that improves the visualization of diseased vessels on the legs, making it easier to remove them and reducing the operating time.

"We've always tried to stay on top of the cutting edge technology," says Dr. Ballem. "When you use minimally invasive techniques patients are very pleased and these techniques are more effective, more accurate."
