In what is commonly referred to as “open” surgery, surgeons have traditionally made an incision large enough to expose the internal organs that were to be operated on during the procedure. Within the last decade, however, new minimally invasive surgical techniques have revolutionized many procedures by enabling surgeons to reach the same internal organs through a series of small incisions.

Benefits of Minimally Invasive Surgery are:

smaller incision

less wound complications

reduced hospital stay 

shorter recovery period 

less pain 

decreased need for pain medication
