Minimally Invasive Surgical Procedures

Procedures that avoid use of open, invasive surgery in favor of closed or local surgery. These generally involve use of laparoscopic devices and remote-controlled manipulation of instruments with indirect observation of the surgical field through an endoscope or similar device.

04/01/2023 - "We found in this cohort with surgery performed by a surgeon highly experienced in minimally invasive surgery that percutaneous ankle fusion augmented with a bone graft supplement achieved a high rate of fusion (96.3%) and a significant improvement in pain and function postoperatively while associated with minimal complications. "
01/01/2022 - "Compared to traditional open surgery, minimally invasive percutaneous surgery for thoracolumbar fractures can significantly reduce perioperative pain and improve perioperative stress in patients, while achieving better surgical outcomes and a significantly improved quality of life in patients at long-term follow-up."
01/01/2018 - "At short-term follow-up, patients who underwent minimally invasive surgery (robotic or laparoscopy) had significantly higher FACT-G (P < 0.0001) and EQ-5D (P < 0.0001) scores, with less pain (P = 0.02) and improved pain interference (P = 0.0008), than patients undergoing laparotomy. "
01/01/2010 - "Minimally invasive surgery (MIS) has significantly improved the field of surgery, with benefits including shorter operating time, improved recovery time, minimizing stress and pain due to smaller incisions, and even improving mortality. "
02/01/2010 - "With the goal of reducing the morbidity associated with open surgery, minimally invasive surgery in children is increasingly being performed as laparoscopic and robotic patients appear to be experiencing shorter hospital stays, decreased pain medication requirements, and the potential for improved cosmesis.
