Overview

Keyhole surgery is a type of minimally invasive surgical procedure in which a surgeon makes small incisions to access the affected area inside the body. It is performed using long, thin instruments that have small cameras and micro-surgical tools attached to them. This type of surgery offers many advantages compared to traditional open surgeries, such as shorter hospitalization periods, less post-operative pain and scarring, faster healing times, and less risk of infection. Furthermore, due to its ability to be used in a variety of surgical procedures, keyhole surgery is now used to treat conditions such as gastrointestinal disorders, lung diseases, and orthopedic disorders.
