MINIMALLY
INVASIVE SURGERY
Surgery
over the past few years has changed dramatically. "Minimally
Invasive Surgery" sometimes called "keyhole" surgery,
is a new approach in which doctors use tiny cameras, microscopes,
flashlights, and high-definition monitors to address your health
needs. The equipment is so small that it fits through tiny "keyholes"
just centimeters in length!
Minimally
Invasive Surgery often allows patients to get back to their active
lives more quickly. The advantages of Minimally Invasive Surgery
over traditional surgery include:
|
-
-
-
-
|
Less pain
A shorter recovery period
Fewer rehabilitation needs
Shorter hospital stays |

risk of infection
