Minimally Invasive Surgery

During minimally invasive surgery, the surgeon makes small incisions, to insert a tube that contains a tiny video camera and surgical instruments to assist him or her during the operation.

If your procedure is able to be performed with minimally invasive techniques, you're likely to lose less blood, have less pain, have fewer and smaller scars, spend less days in the hospital and recover faster than you would after open surgery.
