Abstract
Background: Surgical revolution has increased gradually over the last three decennary, intersect on a central aim to take safe, accurate treatment with the least possible surgical footmark. Minimally intrusive surgery encircles laparoscopic, endoscopic, and other robotic-assisted approach which now command this ambit. This article crucially studies the development, clinical performance, and systems-level effect of MIS, query of a central question which is How long has MIS transformed modern health-care and where is it coming next?
Aim: An account synthesis of 236 English-language studies was taken forward. Databases searched involved PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, and also Cochrane CENTRAL. Irregular controlled trials, large group studies, and meta-analyses contrast MIS with open surgery across 6 specialties were ordered.
Results: Over specialties, MIS lessen the post-operative pain scores by 35–65%, reduces the hospital length of stay by 1.8 days on average, half of operative-site infectious rates, and lowers signify blood loss by 160 mL per stud. Technological empowers high-resolution 3D optics, carpus instruments, haptic response, and supplemented-reality location and continuously enhance accuracy while maintaining or improvement of oncological margins in cancer surgeries.
Conclusions: MIS has again defined the “standard of care.” Future development will flexible on cost segregation, impartial access, and combination of AI-driven decision help, ending the loop between pre-surgical planning and real-time intra-surgical guidelines.
