Minimally Invasive Surgery

What is Minimally Invasive Surgery?

Advanced surgical specialists use minimally invasive surgery (MIS), sometimes known as laparoscopic surgery, as an alternative to traditional open surgery.

For the patient, MIS means 3 basic things:

    • Smaller Incisions
    • Fewer Stitches
    • Faster Recovery

In addition, minimally invasive surgery offers many other advantages, including:

  • Less Blood Loss
  • Less Pain
  • Reduced Risk of Infection
  • Shorter Hospital Stay
  • Less Scarring
