Unlike traditional surgery, minimally invasive surgery involves minuscule instead of large incisions. Extremely small incisions are made – just large enough for small cameras equipped with microscopes and tiny fiber-optic flashlights to be inserted.

Surgeons use this micro-technology to view the inside of your body on a high-definition monitor. After the procedure, it takes only a few stitches to close up each of the incisions.

Minimally invasive surgery is an advanced technique that enables patients to experience faster recoveries and less scarring than what is entailed during traditional invasive procedures. That means less time away from home and less pain during the healing process.

How is it done?

A minimally-invasive procedure typically involves the use of arthroscopic (for joints and the spine) or laparoscopic devices and remote-control manipulation of instruments with indirect observation of the surgical field through an endoscope or large scale display panel, and is carried out through the skin or through a body cavity or anatomical opening.
