Minimal Invasive Surgery

Minimally invasive surgery reduces the blood loss, pain, the duration of time it takes for wounds to heal, recovery time, and hospital stays following surgery. The leading candidates for MIS are cancers in the early stages. Most open surgeries are used to treat cancers in advanced stages.

 

Early-stage gastric, colorectal, gynaecological, hepatobiliary, and oesophageal cancers are all treated with MIS often. In both MIS and open procedures, the oncological outcomes are reported to be similar. Following MIS, there is a decrease in postoperative discomfort, hospital/ICU stays, and painkiller usage. Laparoscopic and robotic surgery are both options for MIS.

 

Compared to laparoscopy, robotic surgery provides advantages in three-dimensional depth perception, tremor-free movements, easy access to narrow anatomical areas, and simplified learning.
