What Is Minimally Invasive Surgery?

‍Minimally invasive surgery uses small incisions and specialized instruments to perform surgical procedures with less tissue damage than traditional open surgery. Techniques include laparoscopic, robotic, and endoscopic approaches, offering patients faster recovery and reduced complications.

Why choose minimally invasive surgery?

• Faster recovery: Shorter hospital stays and quicker return to activities.
• Less pain: Smaller incisions mean reduced post-operative discomfort.
• Better cosmetics: Minimal scarring compared to open procedures.

Types of minimally invasive procedures

• Laparoscopic gallbladder removal.
• Arthroscopic joint surgery.
• Endoscopic sinus and gastrointestinal procedures.
