With the advent of 'Minimally Invasive Surgery', also called Band-aid Surgery, General Surgery has become extremely convenient. Benefits of this form of surgery are :

• Smaller incisions (Key Hole) (usually 0.5-1.5cm).
• Quicker recovery.
• Quicker return to full activity.

• Less internal scarring compared to standard open surgery.
• Less post operative discomfort.

• Shorter Hospital stays.
• Smaller Scars.

Successful Minimally Invasive surgery is about more than just surgical technique. For patients to have consistently excellent outcomes, it takes a combination of surgical expertise honed by extensive experience, the availability of the most advanced technology, and an unwavering commitment to quality among all the disciplines involved in a patient's care.
