Minimally Invasive Surgery
Minimally invasive surgery is a type of medical procedure which is performed with small incisions, or cuts in the skin, to reduce the amount of trauma to the patient. It is often used to perform certain types of surgery, such as gallbladder or heart valve repair, endometrial ablation, cataract removal, or joint replacements. Minimally invasive surgery has several advantages over traditional open surgery, such as shorter hospital stays, quicker recovery times, less pain, and fewer complications. The techniques employed during minimally invasive surgery, such as the use of robotic surgery, have helped to improve the accuracy of the procedure, and reduce the time spent in the operating room.
