In minimally invasive surgery, surgeons use a variety of techniques to operate with less injury to the body than with open surgery. In general, it is safer than open surgery and allows you to recover faster and heal with less pain and scarring. Minimally invasive surgery is usually done on an outpatient basis or requires only a short hospital stay.
 
   
 

Laparoscopy surgery done through one or more small incisions, using small tubes and tiny video cameras and surgical instruments was one of the first types of minimally invasive surgery.

Continual innovations in minimally invasive surgery make it useful for an ever-expanding list of procedures.

 
 

- Surgery for Ovarian Cysts

When an ovarian growth or cyst needs to be closely looked at, a surgeon can do so through a small incision using laparoscopy
 

- Laparoscopic Tubal Ligation

Laparoscopic tubal ligation has many advantages that explain its use as the interval procedure of choice. It offers the opportunity to explore pelvic and abdominal anatomy, especially if the patient has complaints such as pelvic pain. The procedure is an outpatient surgery with a rapid recovery, allowing patients to return quickly to work or home. All laparoscopic methods are immediately effective. Laparoscopic tubal ligation is attractive to surgeons because many gynecologists are well trained in laparoscopic techniques and it involves a short operating time.
