Minimally invasive surgery (MIS) is a surgical technique that allows surgeons to perform procedures with fewer and smaller incisions compared to traditional open surgery. This approach typically involves the use of specialized instruments and imaging technology to access and operate on the target area with precision and minimal disruption to surrounding tissues. MIS has been shown to result in shorter recovery times, less pain, lower risk of complications, and improved cosmetic outcomes for patients. Common types of minimally invasive surgeries include laparoscopic, robotic, and endoscopic procedures.
