Minimally invasive surgeries (MIS) refer to procedures that require only small incisions or natural body openings, drastically reducing recovery time and post-operative discomfort compared to traditional open surgeries. These techniques utilize advanced instruments and imaging technologies, such as laparoscopes and endoscopes, to access and treat internal organs with high precision.

The primary advantage of MIS is the reduced trauma to the body. Smaller incisions result in less bleeding, lower risk of infection, and minimal scarring. Patients often experience less pain, allowing for quicker mobilization and shorter hospital stays. Common minimally invasive procedures include laparoscopic cholecystectomy (gallbladder removal), appendectomy, hernia repair, arthroscopy (joint surgery), and endoscopic sinus surgery.

Technological advancements have further propelled the field of MIS. Robotic and Robotic assisted surgeries, for instance, offer enhanced dexterity and precision, making it possible to perform complex operations with improved accuracy, especially in narrow confines spaces like Pelvis and able to perform complex and technically challenging Large Bowel operations including Cancer Operations, Diverticular Surgeries, Colo Vesical Fistulae Etc. These systems provide surgeons with 3D high-definition views and instruments that mimic human hand movements, allowing for greater control and flexibility.

The future of minimally invasive surgeries looks promising as ongoing research and innovation continue to expand its applications. The adoption of these techniques across various medical disciplines underscores a significant shift towards patient-centered care, emphasizing safety, efficacy, and improved postoperative outcomes.
