Overview
MIS in hepatobiliary surgery is a minimally invasive surgical technique used in the diagnosis and treatment of diseases of the liver, gallbladder, and biliary tree. The goal of the procedure is to avoid major open operations while preserving normal anatomy and function. MIS in hepatobiliary surgery makes use of advanced medical imaging techniques, such as computed tomography (CT) scans and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). By combining these techniques, the surgeon is able to identify the anatomical features of the region to be operated on, allowing for precision targeting of instruments. This technique is also beneficial as it reduces blood loss, trauma, pain, and postoperative morbidity. Additionally, MIS in hepatobiliary surgery allows for quicker recovery times and shorter hospital stays.
