MINIMAL ACCESS SURGERY
A Modern Approach to Safe & Effective Treatment
Minimal Access Surgery (MAS), often referred to as laparoscopic or keyhole surgery, is one of the most remarkable advancements in modern surgical care. Unlike traditional open surgery, MAS involves performing operations through small incisions using specialized instruments and a camera. This technique ensures reduced pain, quicker recovery, and minimal scarring — making it the preferred choice for both patients and surgeons today
How Minimal Access Surgery Works
In Minimal Access Surgery, surgeons make small incisions (usually 0.5–1.5 cm) through which a tiny camera (laparoscope) and surgical tools are inserted. The camera projects high-resolution images onto a monitor, giving the surgeon a clear view of the internal organs in real time. With the help of these visuals, the surgeon performs the required procedure with high precision.
This technique can be used for a variety of procedures including:
Gallbladder removal
Hernia repairs
Appendectomy
Hysterectomy
Bariatric (weight loss) surgery
Colorectal surgeryKidney and urological procedures
Benefits of Minimal Access Surgery
Smaller Incisions: One of the biggest advantages is the tiny size of cuts, leading to lesser trauma to the body.
Reduced Pain: Since there’s minimal tissue damage, patients experience much less post-operative pain.
Faster Recovery: Most patients are able to resume normal activities within days rather than weeks.
Shorter Hospital Stay: Many MAS procedures are done as day-care surgeries or with minimal overnight stay.
Minimal Scarring: The small incisions result in barely visible scars, making it a more cosmetically appealing option.
Lower Risk of Infection: The smaller wounds reduce the chances of infections and complications.
Enhanced Precision: Advanced tools and clear visuals ensure safer and more accurate procedures.
