What is Minimally Invasive Surgery?

MIS is a surgical approach that utilizes advanced technology, including tiny cameras and robotic arms, to reduce surgical impact, lower recovery time, and minimize risks.

Diseases Treated with Minimally Invasive Surgery

• Orthopedic Conditions: Joint replacement, arthroscopic surgeries
• Gynecological Disorders: Hysterectomy, ovarian cyst removal
• Cardiovascular Procedures: Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG)
• Digestive System Disorders: Hernia repair, gallbladder removal
• Spinal Conditions: Microdiscectomy, spinal fusion

Types of Minimally Invasive Surgery

1. Laparoscopic Surgery – Small incisions with a camera and instruments.
2. Endoscopic Surgery – Internal procedures performed via natural openings.
3. Robotic-Assisted Surgery – High precision through robotic control.
4. Arthroscopic Surgery – Joint surgery performed through small incisions.
5. Interventional Radiology – Image-guided procedures for non-invasive treatment.

How is Minimally Invasive Surgery Performed?

1. Pre-surgical Evaluation – Diagnosis and imaging tests.
2. Small Incisions – Entry points for instruments.
3. Camera-Guided Surgery – High-definition imaging for precision.
4. Specialized Instruments – Tools designed for minimal tissue damage.
5. Closure & Recovery – Sutures and monitoring for complications.

Advantages of Minimally Invasive Surgery

• Faster Recovery: Shorter hospital stays and quicker return to normal activities.
• Less Pain: Reduced trauma compared to open surgery.
• Lower Risk of Infection: Smaller wounds lead to fewer complications.
• Minimal Scarring: Cosmetic benefits from tiny incisions.

Side Effects & Risks

• Potential bleeding
• Infection risks
• Organ injury (rare)
• Anesthesia-related complications
