With new modalities like Needloscopy,surgery is done using instruments as small as 3mm in diameter, the scars are barely visible with cosmetic recovery and post op pain is also relatively less.

Minimal access Surgery is advanced technique for doing all types of surgical procedures. This technique is also known as ‘Keyhole Surgery’ or Laparoscopic Surgery. A a thin telescope known as laparoscope, is inserted through small incisions. The laparoscope is connected to a tiny video camera which projects the inside view of patient’s body to a high resolution monitors in the operating room.
Small surgical instruments are then passed through one or more additional 3-5 mm incisions, through which the surgery is done. These incisions are usually covered with surgical glue and after a few weeks are barely visible thus avoiding any follow up visit for suture removal.
The major advantages of this technique over conventional open surgery are:
As complete surgery is performed using very fine instruments through 3 mm to 15mm holesin abdomen and there is no muscle cutting pain is negligible,scars are very small and indistinguishable.
Early recovery even day care surgery can be done of some of very complex diseases.
There are numerous benefits of MAS over Open surgery:
Early diagnosis and treatment.
