The Impact of Minimally Invasive Surgical Techniques on Postoperative Recovery and Complication Rates in General Surgery Patients: An Original Research

Abstract

Introduction: Open surgical procedures have historically been used in general surgery, but minimally invasive surgery (MIS) has emerged as a promising alternative. In order to fill a vacuum in the literature, this study will look into how MIS affects postoperative recovery and complication rates in patients undergoing general surgery.

Materials and Procedures: A randomised controlled trial including 300 patients in general surgery was carried out. They were split into groups for MIS and open surgery, and several factors, such as hospital stay, recovery time, pain levels, complication rates, and patient satisfaction, were evaluated.

Results: When compared to patients who underwent open surgery, those who underwent MIS had considerably shorter hospital stays, quicker recoveries, lower pain scores, fewer complication rates, and higher patient satisfaction. Superior postoperative results were seen with MIS.

Conclusion: The findings support previous research and highlight how MIS has the ability to enhance patient outcomes, resource allocation, and healthcare effectiveness. The benefits of MIS include patient-centered care, less problems, and financial gains. Long-term results and overcoming obstacles to the broad use of MIS in general surgery should be the main topics of future research.
