What Role Does Minimally Invasive Surgery Play in Pediatrics?
Minimally invasive surgery (MIS) has revolutionized pediatric surgery by offering several benefits:
Reduced Pain: Smaller incisions lead to less postoperative pain and faster recovery. Shorter Hospital Stays: Children can return home sooner, reducing the psychological impact of hospitalization. Lower Risk of Infection: Smaller wounds have a reduced risk of infection. Cosmetic Benefits: Minimally invasive procedures leave smaller scars, which is especially important for children.
