Minimally Invasive Surgery

Minimally invasive surgery (MIS) is a modern surgical technique that uses small incisions, specialized instruments, and advanced technology to perform procedures with less harm to the body compared to traditional open surgery. It allows patients to recover faster, experience less pain, and return to daily activities earlier.

What is Minimally Invasive Surgery?

  • Smaller Incisions: Unlike traditional surgery, which requires large incisions to access the area being treated, minimally invasive surgery uses small incisions (often just a few millimeters) to insert tiny instruments and a camera.
  • Advanced Technology: Surgeons use technologies like laparoscopes (thin tubes with cameras) and robotic systems to guide the surgery.
  • Precision: Minimally invasive surgery offers enhanced precision and the ability to operate on hard-to-reach areas with minimal disruption to surrounding tissues.
Laparoscopic Surgery

1. Pre-Treatment Consultation

  • A thorough evaluation of your medical history, fertility issues, and previous treatments, if any.
  • Comprehensive testing, including hormonal evaluations, ultrasound scans, and semen analysis.
  • Discussion of treatment options and development of a personalized IVF plan to suit your needs.

2. Ovarian Stimulation

  • Fertility medications are prescribed to stimulate the ovaries to produce multiple eggs.
  • Close monitoring through blood tests and ultrasounds to track egg development.

3. Egg Retrieval (Aspiration)

  • The eggs are carefully retrieved from the ovaries through a minimally invasive procedure performed under sedation.
  • This procedure is typically done within a short timeframe (around 10-14 days after stimulation).

4. Fertilization

  • The eggs are fertilized in the laboratory using sperm from the male partner or a sperm donor.
  • The fertilization process is monitored closely, and the best quality embryos are selected for transfer.

5. Embryo Transfer

  • One or more healthy embryos are transferred into the woman’s uterus, guided by ultrasound.
  • This is a painless procedure with minimal discomfort.

6. Pregnancy Test

  • About 10-12 days after the embryo transfer, a blood test is conducted to check for pregnancy.
  • If successful, a follow-up ultrasound will be scheduled to confirm the pregnancy and monitor the developing fetus.
Endoscopic Surgery

Endoscopic surgery is a newer form of surgery that entails less invasion with the use of a thin, flexible tube with a camera and fine instruments to diagnose and treat some medical conditions without making large incisions. It offers faster recovery, less pain, and less scarring.

Benefits of Endoscopic Surgery

✅ Minimally Invasive – Requires small or no external incisions.
✅ Faster Recovery – Patients recover much quicker compared to traditional surgery.
✅ Less Pain & Scarring – Smaller incisions lead to reduced post-surgical pain and minimal scarring.
✅ Lower Risk of Infection – Less exposure of internal organs minimizes the risk of infections.
✅ Shorter Hospital Stay – Many procedures can be performed on an outpatient basis.

Types of Endoscopic Surgery

Endoscopic surgery is used in multiple medical fields, including gastroenterology, pulmonology, gynecology, urology, and orthopedics.

1. Gastrointestinal (GI) Endoscopy

🔹 Gastroscopy (Upper Endoscopy – EGD): Examines the esophagus, stomach, and small intestine to diagnose ulcers, gastritis, or tumors.
🔹 Colonoscopy: Inspects the colon for polyps, tumors, or signs of colorectal cancer.
🔹 Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography (ERCP): Diagnoses and treats bile duct and pancreatic disorders.
🔹 Capsule Endoscopy: A small capsule with a camera is swallowed to capture images of the digestive tract.

2. Pulmonary (Lung) Endoscopy

🔹 Bronchoscopy: Used to examine and treat conditions affecting the lungs, such as infections, tumors, or airway obstructions.

Arthroscopy

Arthroscopy is a type of minimally invasive surgery that diagnoses and corrects joint issues. It involves the insertion of a miniature camera (arthroscope) through very small incisions into a joint for the surgeon to inspect, correct, or eliminate injured tissues with less pain, scarring, and recovery time than open surgery.

Benefits of Arthroscopy

✅ Minimally Invasive – Requires only small incisions, reducing trauma to surrounding tissues.
✅ Faster Recovery – Patients can return to daily activities much sooner than with open surgery.
✅ Less Pain & Scarring – Smaller incisions lead to less post-surgical pain and minimal visible scarring.
✅ Lower Risk of Infection – Small incisions reduce exposure to bacteria, decreasing infection risks.
✅ Outpatient Procedure – Many arthroscopic surgeries are performed on the same day, avoiding hospital stays.

Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery

Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery (MISS) is a newly developed method of surgery intended for the treatment of spinal disorders employing smaller incisions, less trauma to tissues, and quicker rehabilitation than traditional open spine surgery. It is useful for the relief of chronic low back pain, spinal instability, bulging disks, and compression of nerves without significant risk.

Benefits of Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery

✅ Smaller Incisions – Reduces tissue damage and scarring.
✅ Less Pain & Blood Loss – Lower risk of complications and faster healing.
✅ Shorter Hospital Stay – Many procedures are performed on an outpatient basis.
✅ Faster Recovery – Patients return to normal activities much sooner.
✅ Reduced Risk of Infection – Small incisions mean lower exposure to infections.
