Minimally Invasive Surgery

Minimally invasive surgery allows surgeons to reduce the number of cuts and does not have any invasive procedure as open surgery does. The two types of minimally invasive surgery include Laparoscopy and Robotic surgery. Laparoscopy, popularly known as “keyhole surgery”, is the first type of minimally invasive procedure developed. The procedure involves just introducing a camera and a catheter into the patient’s body and thus the surgeon performs the surgery. In Robotic surgery, doctors have greater control and vision (high-definition 3-D image on the console) and thus can operate with precision, flexibility. Some of the remarkable benefits of this procedure includes small incision, less pain, low risk of infection, short hospital stay, quick recovery time, less scarring and reduced blood loss. Some of the conditions that can be treated by this procedure include kidney stones, kidney cysts, atrial septal defect, hernias, severe gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and many more.
