Minimally Invasive Surgery Team

This field represents the cutting edge of surgery, providing safe and advanced solutions for complex procedures in oral and maxillofacial surgery.

What is Minimally Invasive Surgery?

The minimally invasive surgery service offers an innovative and advanced approach to treating a wide range of issues in the oral and maxillofacial system. The team consists of two senior full-time surgeons, Dr. Eyal Akerman and Dr. Mor Mesika.

They specialize in performing complex procedures using advanced surgical techniques that combine miniature tools, innovative cameras, and laser technologies to ensure precise, safe, and effective treatment. Surgical procedures are performed through tiny incisions to preserve surrounding tissues.
