Minimally Invasive Surgery
In open surgery, a large incision is made across the abdomen to access the internal organs, while in laparoscopic-robotic (minimally invasive) techniques, surgeries can be completed with several incisions measuring only 0.5-1 centimeter. These methods allow complex procedures to be performed using minimally invasive surgery, thanks to features like three-dimensional imaging.
