Some cancers may be treated with surgery, depending on type, stage and overall health.
Dr. André Vaccianna founded ProCare to make surgery feel less intimidating. Patients come from across Jamaica, the wider Caribbean and the diaspora, often after months of worry. His job is to help them understand what is happening and guide them to the safest, most appropriate next step.

Laparoscopic surgery, often called keyhole surgery, uses a few small cuts and a camera instead of one larger opening. For many patients it can mean less pain and a quicker return to normal activity.
Usually several small cuts instead of one long one.
Some patients go home the same day. Recovery varies from person to person.
Keyhole surgery is not right for everyone. Dr. Vaccianna will advise you.
Short videos on the questions patients ask most. More on Instagram.
If your question is not here, ask us. There is no such thing as a silly question before surgery.
No. You can book a consultation directly. If your doctor has referred you, bring the referral letter and any recent test results or scans.
Surgery is done under anaesthesia, so you should not feel pain during the operation. Some discomfort afterwards is normal, and you will be given a plan to manage it. Keyhole surgery can often mean less pain than open surgery.
Many keyhole procedures, such as some hernia repairs and gallbladder operations, can allow you to go home the same day or the next day. It depends on the procedure, your health and how you recover. Dr. Vaccianna will discuss this with you.
Many people with these conditions have surgery safely. Your conditions will be checked and managed before any operation. Bring a list of your medications to your consultation.
