Minimally invasive surgery offers a revolutionary approach to achieving the same goals as traditional open surgery, but with much smaller incisions. This technique results in numerous benefits, including less blood loss, reduced pain, fewer complications, shorter hospital stays, and quicker recovery times. Patients often require less pain medication and face a lower risk of infection, allowing them to return to their daily activities and work more swiftly. Additionally, those needing further treatments like radiation or chemotherapy can begin them sooner due to faster healing.  

Remarkable Case: In a landmark case, Dr. Nitin Singhal and his team at Apollo Hospitals, Ahmedabad, successfully removed a 48 kg non-ovarian tumor from a 56-year-old woman. This surgery, which is believed to be the largest non-ovarian tumor removal in the country, highlights the expertise and dedication of Dr. Singhal and his team in handling complex cases with minimally invasive techniques.

This remarkable achievement underscores the potential of minimally invasive surgery to transform patient outcomes, even in the most challenging cases.
