In minimally invasive surgery, doctors use a variety of techniques to operate with less damage to the body than with open surgery. Surgery is done with smaller incisions as compared to open surgery. Minimally invasive surgery is generally associated with few complications, less pain and a shorter hospital stay.
Endoscopic refers to the examination and diagnosis of conditions using an endoscope. An endoscope is a long tube that is inserted through one of the entrances; no incisions are made.
Laparoscopic Surgery is a procedure in which small incisions are made in the region of operation. An endoscope, along with other surgical instruments, is inserted into the incisions. The endoscope and other instruments are used to view, examine, diagnose and treat conditions related to the internal organs.
Minimally invasive procedures use special cameras, allowing Dr Webner to get a better view of the organ he is operating on. The advanced, modern instruments also allow for more complex and delicate work. For these reasons, surgeries are more accurate and produce better outcomes.
Patients undergoing this type of surgery have shorter hospital stays than those who have open surgery. Many patients may go home after only one night spent in the hospital.
Patients who have a minimally invasive surgery have less pain and discomfort than patients who have open surgery. This is because there is often less trauma to the body during minimally invasive surgery as the incisions are smaller.
The incisions and trauma from this surgery heal much more quickly than in open surgery. This means patients can return to their everyday activities much more quickly than they would have been able to with open surgery. Minimally invasive surgery can reduce recovery time by weeks.
