Minimally Invasive Procedures
|
|
Description:
MIP is changing the way many people think about surgery. Patients who choose MIP over conventional surgery may no longer face lengthy recoveries and hospital stays. Instead, they are able to get back to the things that are important to them much sooner.
MIP, which includes laparoscopic surgery, uses state-of-the-art technology. When performing MIP, the surgeon creates small, dime-sized incisions that allow the use of a miniature camera, or videoscope, and specialized instruments to perform the procedure—so there’s no need for a large, conventional incision.
