Minimal access surgery or minimally invasive surgery is an advanced surgical technique that can be used for various types of operations. It is also known as ‘Keyhole Surgery’ or Laparoscopic Surgery. In this, the surgeon inserts a thin telescope called a laparoscope through small incisions. The laparoscope is attached to a small video camera that projects the view of the patient’s internal organs to a high resolution monitor during the operation. The surgery is performed using special surgical instruments that are inserted through one or more small (3-5mm) incisions. The incisions are closed with sutures or surgical glue after the surgery. This technique offers many advantages including, reduces postoperative pain and discomfort, less chances of complications such as infection, shorter hospital stay, faster recovery and less scarring of tissue.
