FAQ
Follow the instructions provided by your doctor or surgical team regarding eating and drinking. Check with your doctor to see if you should continue taking your prescribed medications before surgery. Remove glasses, contact lenses, jewellery, or any body piercings prior to the procedure
Minimally invasive surgery (MIS) is performed through small incisions or operating ports rather than large incisions. This approach typically results in shorter recovery times, fewer complications, lower hospitalization costs, and less trauma to the patient. MIS has become the standard of care for many surgical procedures.
Minimally invasive surgery involves performing procedures through several small incisions (less than half an inch), rather than a single large incision, depending on the type of surgery. The benefits include less pain, reduced trauma, less bleeding, faster recovery, shorter hospital stays, improved cosmetic results, and quicker return to work. This approach utilizes a combination of thin tubes with cameras, surgical instruments, and retractors.
