Minimally Invasive Surgery (MIS) represents a modern surgical technique that utilizes specialized equipment and tiny incisions to operate with less damage to the body than traditional surgery. Unlike open surgery, which often requires large incisions, MIS uses small, precise incisions, typically only a few millimeters in length. This approach leverages advanced imaging and miniature instruments to enhance surgical accuracy, providing a magnified view of the surgical site through tiny cameras.
