What is Minimally Invasive Surgery (MIS)?
Minimally Invasive Surgery (MIS) is a surgical approach that employs tiny incisions to minimize tissue damage, reduce pain, and promote faster recovery. By using specialized instruments and cameras, MIS offers controlled, precise procedures with benefits including less scarring and shorter operation times.
How Minimally Invasive Surgery Works
This surgical technique uses very small cuts rather than large openings, which preserves soft tissues and reduces injury.
- Small incisions: Typically less than 1 cm in length.
- Less anesthesia: Requires lower amounts due to shorter operations.
- Reduced pain and scarring: Less tissue trauma means less postoperative discomfort and minimal visible marks.
- Faster recovery: Due to less damage and activity restrictions compared to traditional surgery.
- Shorter surgery durations: Efficient procedure times improve patient safety.

| Incision Size | Less than 1 cm | Several centimeters |
| Recovery Time | Days to weeks | Weeks to months |
