Minimally Invasive Gynecological Surgery
Minimally invasive and robotic surgery is used for a range of conditions. It offers many benefits over traditional/open surgery, including less risk of complications, less postoperative pain, quicker recovery, shorter hospital stays, and less blood loss and scarring.
What is minimally invasive surgery?
Advances in technology now allow surgeons to operate through much smaller incisions and with less injury to the body. One of the first types of minimally invasive surgery techniques was laparoscopic surgery. Surgeons can see inside the body using a thin tube with an attached camera. Today, surgeons also use robotic surgery that provides even greater magnification and precision. They use much smaller instruments and a 3D camera but also only need tiny cuts.
