Minimally invasive surgery
Surgical approach using small incisions and specialized instruments instead of a large open incision.
Minimally invasive surgery (MIS) includes laparoscopic, thoracoscopic, robotic, and endoscopic approaches. Benefits include shorter hospital stay, less pain, faster recovery, and smaller scars.
What this means for you: MIS isn't always better — some cases (large tumors, complex anatomy, prior surgery) are more safely done open. Trust the surgeon's judgment on approach.
