keyhole surgery
Keyhole surgery, also called minimally invasive surgery, uses small cuts instead of large open incisions to perform medical procedures. A surgeon inserts a thin tube with a tiny camera and specialized instruments through these small openings. The camera transmits images to a monitor, guiding the surgeon precisely. This approach usually results in less pain, shorter recovery times, and smaller scars compared to traditional surgery. Keyhole surgery is commonly used for procedures like removing gallstones, appendix, or repairing certain internal structures, providing effective treatment with minimized risks and quicker patient recuperation.
