Minimally Invasive Surgery

Minimally invasive surgery (MIS) is a type of surgical procedure performed through small incisions, rather than large open cuts. Surgeons use tiny specialized cameras and instruments to perform operations with precision, resulting in less trauma to the body.

Doctors recommend MIS because it offers equivalent or superior outcomes compared to traditional open surgery, with significantly less pain, lower risk of infection, and faster recovery time. Patients can usually return to normal activities much sooner.
