Minimally invasive (keyhole) surgery has transformed general surgery in the last two decades. Here are the patient-facing benefits.
Smaller incisions
Several 5–10 mm ports instead of a single large incision.
Less pain
Significantly lower post-operative analgesia needs.
Faster recovery
Most patients go home same day or next day and return to desk work within a week.
Better cosmetic outcome
Small scars that fade quickly.
When it isn't suitable
Some emergencies, certain previous surgeries with dense adhesions, or specific anatomical limitations may favour open surgery.
