What is Minimally Invasive Gastrointestinal Surgery?

Minimally Invasive Gastrointestinal Surgery refers to a range of surgical techniques used to treat conditions affecting the digestive tract. Unlike traditional open surgery, minimally invasive procedures involve smaller incisions, resulting in less pain, faster recovery, and reduced risk of complications. Laparoscopic gastrointestinal surgery is one of the most common forms of minimally invasive GI surgery, where surgeons use a laparoscope – a thin tube with a camera – to perform the surgery with precision.
