Minimal Access or Laparoscopic Surgery is a surgical technique that uses small incisions instead of large cuts. A telescope with a video camera is introduced into the body cavity through the incision, and the surgeon operates by viewing the internal parts on a TV monitor. This technique allows for early patient recovery, minimal pain, and excellent cosmetic results. Minimal Access Surgery can treat various conditions such as thyroid and parathyroid, hernia, appendix, anorectal conditions, and diseases of the gastrointestinal tract.
