Depending on your condition or disease, we will determine whether minimally invasive surgery is the best option for you or if you should consider another approach.
Procedure Overview
What Minimally Invasive Surgery Is
This approach is ideal for patients seeking effective treatment with minimal disruption to their daily lives.
Treatment Description
An advanced surgical approach designed to treat a variety of medical conditions with less trauma to the body compared to traditional open surgery.
What It Includes
During a minimally invasive procedure, surgeons use tiny cameras and instruments to perform the surgery through small incisions, often less than an inch long. These tools provide a clear view of the surgical site and allow for precise movements, reducing the risk of damage to surrounding tissues.

Who Can Benefit From Minimally Invasive Surgery?
The most common minimally invasive surgeries include arthroscopic surgery, colorectal surgery, adrenalectomy (to remove one or both adrenal glands), brain surgery, colectomy, heart surgery, hiatal hernia repair, kidney transplant, spine surgery, splenectomy (to remove the spleen), thoracoscopic surgery, and more.
These surgeries may also be an option for people who have chronic pain issues and for whom a large incision may end up causing more pain. Older adults can also benefit from minimally invasive surgeries because the recovery time is quicker and the risk of losing blood is lower.
On the other hand, not every condition can be treated with minimally invasive surgery. There are cases when traditional surgery is the better option. It is critical to talk to your doctor about any concerns you may have.
Always discuss if a minimally invasive surgery works for you, how much pain you will feel after the surgery, what procedure is less risky considering your condition, and more.

Frequently Asked Questions
Quick and helpful answers to common inquiries.
What Are Some Examples of Minimally Invasive Surgery?
Some examples of minimally invasive surgery include brain surgery, adrenalectomy, colectomy, gallbladder surgery, heart surgery, hiatal hernia, kidney transplant, spine surgery, kidney removal, or spleen removal.
What is Meant by Minimally Invasive Surgery?
Minimally invasive surgery implies a procedure conducted with less damage to the body than standard open surgeries. Small incisions or magnified 3D visualization for observing the surgical site and helping the surgeon operate with greater precision are used in minimally invasive surgical procedures.
What are Examples of Invasive Surgery?
The medical practice of cutting open or puncturing the skin, such as when removing organs, is an example of invasive surgery.
What are The Advantages of Minimally Invasive Surgery?
Minimally invasive surgery involves the surgeon making a small incision to insert surgical instruments to operate on the patient. This allows the surgeons to operate with greater control and flexibility. The affected area is much smaller, and thus, postoperative pain is lower, operative complications are fewer because the risks are reduced, and recovery time is faster, leading to shorter hospital stays.
