What is Minimal Access Surgery?

Minimal Access Surgery (also called minimally invasive surgery) uses small “key-hole” incisions and specialised instruments to perform procedures with minimal tissue disruption. At Mallige Hospital, our MAS team employs techniques like laparoscopy, thoracoscopy, and arthroscopy to deliver precise treatment with faster recovery, less pain, and reduced scarring.

Our Minimal Access Surgery program covers a wide range of specialities—from general and gynecologic procedures to thoracic, orthopaedic, and urologic interventions—using high-definition imaging and precision tools for optimal outcomes.

By operating through 5–12 mm incisions, we significantly reduce postoperative pain, shorten hospital stays, and accelerate your return to daily activities.

FAQs

Laparoscopy is a minimally invasive surgical technique that uses small abdominal incisions and a camera-equipped laparoscope to diagnose and treat conditions within the abdominal or pelvic cavities, resulting in faster recovery and reduced scarring.

Arthroscopy is a minimally invasive procedure that uses a small camera (arthroscope) inserted through tiny incisions to diagnose and treat joint disorders, such as ligament tears or cartilage damage.

Thoracoscopy is a minimally invasive technique that uses a thoracoscope inserted between the ribs to visualize and treat conditions of the chest cavity, such as pleural disease or lung biopsies.

Endoscopic Sinus Surgery uses a thin, flexible endoscope passed through the nostrils to remove blockages, polyps, or diseased tissue in the sinuses, improving drainage and breathing.

Single-Incision Surgery (SILS) is a laparoscopic technique performed through one small incision—often at the navel—minimizing visible scars while maintaining the benefits of minimally invasive surgery.

Natural Orifice Transluminal Endoscopic Surgery (NOTES) uses the body’s natural openings—such as the mouth, anus, or vagina—to access internal organs, eliminating external incisions.

Diagnostic Endoscopy employs flexible endoscopes to visually examine internal organs—such as the gastrointestinal tract or airways—for diagnosis, biopsy, and monitoring of disease.
