Minimal collateral damage

Minimally Invasive surgical procedures use a small incision to insert instruments, lights, and an imaging device.

lESS PAIN

With less trauma to the body than with open surgical procedures, people who have minimally invasive surgery generally have less pain and discomfort. That’s not to say the procedure will be painless, but with few muscles and tissues disrupted, the healing process is quicker, and the pain factor lower.

Faster Recovery

smaller incision

Because the incision is small, there is less trauma to the body. There is also less pain and bleeding. This reduced level of trauma to the body enables you to recover more quickly thank if you had traditional open surgery.

SHORTER HOSPITAL STAY

It goes hand in hand; If your recovery is faster, then your hospital stay is shorter. With MIS, you can go home and resume normal activities more quickly, in most cases, than with open surgery.

Less scarring

With smaller incisions and less trauma to your skin and muscles, the scar left behind from your surgery is minimal. Additionally, sealing the incision requires only a few stitches.
