What is Minimally Invasive Surgery?

Minimally invasive surgery is a surgical technique that involves performing procedures through tiny incisions rather than large openings. This approach uses specialized instruments and advanced technologies, such as miniaturized cameras and precision tools, to access and treat affected areas with reduced trauma to surrounding tissues. The aim of minimally invasive surgery is to achieve the same or better results as traditional open surgery while minimizing pain, recovery time, and the risk of complications. It often leads to shorter hospital stays, faster rehabilitation, and less scarring compared to conventional surgical methods.
