How is Minimally Invasive Surgery Applied in Pediatrics?
Minimally invasive techniques, such as laparoscopy and thoracoscopy, have become increasingly popular in pediatric surgery. These techniques offer several advantages:
Smaller incisions, leading to reduced pain and faster recovery. Decreased risk of infection and other complications. Shorter hospital stays and quicker return to normal activities.
However, these techniques require specialized training and equipment suitable for small patients.
