Benefits of Minimally Invasive Surgery
The benefits of minimally invasive surgery include:
- Increased safety – with smaller incisions, there’s less trauma to the body and far less blood loss
- Decreased scarring – most incisions just take a stitch or two to close
- Faster recovery – whereas recovery from traditional surgeries typically takes six to eight weeks, patients who have undergone minimally invasive procedures usually recover in only two
- Decreased length of hospital stay – most MIS procedures are associated with a 23 hour discharge or scheduled outpatient surgery
