Welcome to the Department of Minimally Invasive Surgery
Minimally invasive surgery uses tiny cuts in the skin — or no cuts at all — rather than the large cuts often needed in traditional surgery.
There are many kinds of minimally invasive surgery. Each involves the surgeon using an endoscope . This is a thin tube with a light and tiny video camera on the end. The endoscope lets the surgeon see inside the body and use very small surgical tools in the area.
