Unlike traditional “open” surgeries, which require long incisions that can take several weeks or months to heal, minimally invasive surgery uses very small incisions and special cameras and equipment.  In fact, most minimally invasive surgery incisions are only about one centimeter long, which means you’ll experience:
  • Less pain
  • Less scarring
  • Minimal blood loss
  • Shorter hospital stays
  • Faster recovery time
  • Fewer complications, including a reduced risk of infection

If you need surgery, ask your doctor if you are a candidate for a minimally invasive procedure.  Not every surgery can be performed using minimally invasive techniques, but your doctor will work with you to determine the best plan of action for your specific diagnosis.
