Minimally invasive surgery is a modern surgical technique using minimal incisions in the body. Unlike conventional operations, this technique uses abdominal openings measuring only a few millimetres, and the operation is guided by a camera. This substantially reduces both pain and recovery time.
This technique is called laparoscopic surgery and is now widely used in general surgery and in hernia, gallbladder and bowel operations. Dr. Ilgar Ismayilov is a FEBS-certified general surgeon in Baku who performs operations using minimally invasive technology. The main benefits of this method are less blood loss, small scars and a short hospital stay.
Minimally invasive operations improve both physical comfort and psychological wellbeing. A shorter postoperative recovery period allows patients to return to daily life sooner, and pain after surgery is substantially reduced.
