The term minimally invasive surgery is used for any procedure that is less invasive than the traditional surgery used to treat the same condition. Unlike traditional surgeries which might require large incisions for the surgeon to perform the operation, a minimally invasive procedure only requires a few tiny openings in the skin. The surgeon then uses special surgical instruments including a small camera to perform the operation. The camera displays the area under the skin on a high definition monitor which enables the surgeon to complete the procedure with great finesse and precision.
