● Instrument Refinement in fibreoptic technology and engineering have produced instruments which are used for so called ' surgery. Fine tools can be passed into the abdominal and chest cavities so that many operations which previously required major incisions can now be performed through quite small puncture wounds. This is particularly well established in gynaecological surgery and in operations upon the gall bladder, and techniques are being devised for similar operations on other organs
⚫ Instrument Refinement in fibreoptic technology and engineering have produced instruments which are used for socalled ‘keyhole’ surgery. Fine tools can be passed into the abdominal and chest cavities so that many operations which previously required major incisions can now be performed through quite small puncture wounds. This is particularly well established in gynaecological surgery and in operations upon the gall bladder, and techniques are being devised for similar operations on other organs
This technology also involves the development of instruments to pass along every tube in the body, for example to remove obstructions in the oesophagus, bile ducts, bowel, prostate, and major blood vessels. Many procedures on joints -for example, removal of a torn cartilage from the knee -can now be performed safely, using these minimal access techniques

The laparoscope, a fiber-optic telescope, is inserted through one port(A, L) and attached to a camera.It sends images from the abdominal cavity to television monitors placed for easy viewing by all the operating room personnel. Thus, the surgeon and his or her assistants can view the abdominal cavity and its contents. Through the remaining ports, long-handled instruments are used to perform various procedures

o Endoscopy is a minimally invasive diagnostic tool, used to view the inside of organs, inspect for abnormalities and take biopsies. a small camera and light source are mounted (fixed) onto a flexible tube which can be inserted into the mouth(to inspect the esophagus, stomach and duodenum) or the anus (to inspect the large bowel

What is a minimally invasive procedure A minimally invasive procedure is any procedure (surgical or otherwise) that is less invasive than open surgery used for the same purpose. a minimally invasive procedure typically involves use of laparoscopic devices and remote-control manipulation of instruments with indirect observation of the surgical field through an endoscope or similar device, and are carried out through the skin or through a body cavity or anatomical opening
