Advancements in Minimally Invasive Surgery Techniques: Current Trends and Future Directions.

Abstract

Background: Today's surgical practices heavily rely on minimally invasive surgery (MIS), which provides less stressful options to open procedures. With ongoing methodological and technical developments over the previous 20 years, MIS has quickly become a major surgical innovation. One important early development of MIS was laparoscopic surgery, and its continuing expansion into nearly every surgical specialty and clinical phase has been made possible by the incorporation of robots. A renewed emphasis on enhancing patient outcomes, lessening the intensity of sickness, and raising accuracy is the result of this transformation. The influence of MIS on patient care and healthcare is growing as it develops.

Objectives: The objective of this retrospective study was to quantify the frequency and advantages of minimally invasive surgical methods. It was carried out at the General Surgery Department at LRH Peshawar between January and April 2020. In addition, it looked at the distribution of demographics, enumerated the different operations done, and suggested measures to enhance patient care and surgical practice.

Study Design: A Retrospective Study

Place and Duration of Study:this  study conducted in department of  General Surgery  at LRH Peshawarfrom 10-March 2021 to 10- March 2022.

Methods: out of 100 patients throughout the preceding four months were examined for this investigation. It gathered data on surgical procedures done, demographics of the age group, and preferences for minimally invasive procedures. The many MIS methodologies that were employed were documented, and descriptive data were computed, such as median age and percentage breakdowns. In addition to highlighting current trends and MIS's efficacy, the study included recommendations for next surgical advancements.

Conclusion: The results show that, in line with broader surgical trends, LRH Peshawar patients are becoming more and more interested in minimally invasive surgery. MIS has shown to be quite beneficial, providing notable advantages including lower morbidity, quicker healing, and increased patient satisfaction. It is anticipated that continuous improvements in MIS methods will enhance results even more and influence surgical therapy going forward.
