Benefits of minimally invasive procedures
Not only do these procedures usually provide equivalent outcomes to traditional "open" surgery (which sometimes require a large incision), but minimally invasive procedures (using small incisions) may offer significant benefits as well: * Quicker Recovery – Since a minimally invasive procedure requires smaller incisions than conventional surgery (usually about the diameter of a dime), your body may heal much faster. * Shorter Hospital Stays – Minimally invasive procedures help get you out of the hospital and back to your life sooner than conventional surgery. * Less scarring – Most incisions are so small that it's hard to even notice them after the incisions have healed. * Less pain – Because these procedures are less invasive than conventional surgery, there is typically less pain involved.
