Surgical Access Techniques

Surgical access techniques refer to the methods used by surgeons to reach the area inside the body that needs treatment. These techniques involve carefully planning and creating an opening or pathway, such as an incision in the skin or using minimally invasive tools like cameras and small tubes. The goal is to access the target area safely while minimizing damage to surrounding tissues. The choice of technique depends on the condition, location, and patient health, ensuring effective treatment with as little risk and recovery time as possible.
