September 14, 2007 - It is a method by which surgery is done with the help of a small endoscopic camera and some thin, rigid instrument that are passed into the body through natural openings or small artificial incisions. These incisions are less than half an inch in diameter (hence called 'keyhole surgery') and are created by splitting muscles in contrast to the large muscle-cutting incisions used in conventional surgery. Thus with the help of a camera, the "diseased" organs can be visualized and treated with minimal trauma to the surrounding tissues.
Almost every organ in the human body has become accessible to the surgeon and MIS can be applied to most of the surgical procedures performed. Some of the conditions for which minimally invasive surgeries are commonly performed are:
Abdomen - Gall bladder stones, Appendicitis, GastroIntestinal ulcers, Rectal Prolapse
Urinary system - Urinary stones, damaged kidneys, enlarged prostate, bladder cancer
Pelvis - tumours and cysts of uterus and Ovaries, Tubal sterilization, Hysterectomy (removal of uterus)
Bone & Joints - Injury repair (ligament, tendon, cartilage)
Hernia
Apart from its curative function, MIS is also used for diagnostic purposes like obtaining tissue biopsy, visualization of tissue damages, etc.
There are numerous advantages of MIS, vis-ΰ-vis open surgery.
Quicker & accurate diagnosis
Faster recovery, shorter hospital stay
Minimal tissue damage, hence less pain
Minimal post-operative infections
Precise surgical technique can be performed
Minimal scarring
Less chances of Hernia at incision site
No residual weakness
As with all surgeries, the most common complications are bleeding and infection. But the frequency of complications is minimal vis-a-vis conventional surgery.
Several MIS procedures can be done in children; some of the commonly done procedures are diagnostic laparoscopy, removal of appendix, removal of kidney stone, etc.
