Minimally Invasive Surgery (MIS) is a modern surgical technique that uses small cuts (incisions), tiny instruments, and advanced camera systems to perform complex surgeries with less pain, less blood loss, and faster recovery compared to traditional open surgery.

At I D Cancer Centre, Sushant Golf City, Lucknow, our surgical oncology team combines advanced technology with expert skill to offer safe and precise minimally invasive procedures for various cancers.

What Is Minimally Invasive Surgery?

• Laparoscopy

• Thoracoscopy

• Endoscopic surgery

• Robotic-assisted surgery (where applicable)

These techniques use a camera (scope) and specialized instruments inserted through tiny cuts, usually 0.5–1 cm in size.

In simple words:

Minimal cuts, maximum precision, quicker healing.

⭐ Why Minimally Invasive Surgery Is Needed

Minimally invasive techniques are preferred because they offer significant advantages:

1. Smaller Incisions

Leads to:

• Less pain

• Less scarring

• Better cosmetic results

2. Faster Recovery

Patients return to home and daily activities sooner.

3. Reduced Blood Loss

Smaller cuts mean less bleeding and quicker stabilization.

4. Lower Risk of Infection

Less exposure of internal organs reduces complications.

5. Shorter Hospital Stay

Many MIS procedures allow discharge within 24–48 hours.

6. Better Precision for Surgeons

High-definition cameras give a magnified view of the tumour and surrounding tissues.
