FAQs

What are the advantages of minimally invasive surgery?

• Smaller incisions
• Less blood loss
• Less trauma to muscles, tendons and ligaments
• Shorter hospital stays; 1 to 2 days rather than 3 to 5 days for standard surgery
• Faster, less painful rehabilitation
• Shorter recovery time; people with office jobs can return to work in as little as a few days

Are minimally invasive procedures easier to perform?

Minimally invasive procedures are more challenging for the surgeon due to the limited working space and the smaller instruments used during the procedure. It is important to choose a facility like Health Central with state-of-the-art medical equipment and skilled specialists for your treatment.
