Minimally invasive procedures have become routine
Minimally invasive procedures are now routine surgeries with a low risk of complications, and are popular around the world thanks to the patient’s faster recovery. Faster patient recovery means that the hospital can take on more patients. Obviously, this depends on the availability of staff and appropriate medical equipment. Laparoscopic surgery is not just an operating table and a scalpel in the hand of the surgeon. It is primarily a series of tools that allow access to the operated area through several incisions in the patient’s skin. Of course, the equipment in the operating room depends on the type and level of complexity of a given procedure. Minimally invasive procedures still require the involvement of a team of doctors, surgical instrument technicians or nurses.
