Minimally Invasive Surgery Defined

Minimally invasive surgery means having a minimum of interference with the patient's normal physiological function. Advances in laparoscopic surgery allow surgeons access to complex patient anatomy through very small incisions instead of the large incisions associated with conventional "open" surgery. Patients experience less pain and shorter recovery times.

This definition is in context to Surgery. See more contextual defintions for Minimally Invasive Surgery.
