Endoscopic & Minimal Invasive Surgery Research Center
Mashhad University of Medical Sciences

 

Minimal Invasive Surgery has started it research activity since the beginning of this year (2008) under the vice chancellery of Mashhad University of Medical Sciences.

Many medical procedures are called minimally invasive, such as hypodermic injection, air-pressure injection, sub dermal implants, endoscopy, percutaneoussurgery, laparoscopic surgery, arthroscopic surgery, cryosurgery, microsurgery, keyhole surgery, endovascular surgery(such as angioplasty), coronary catheterization, permanent spinaland brainelectrodes, stereotactic surgery, The Nuss Procedure, radioactivity-based medical imaging methods, such as gamma camera, Positron emission tomographyand SPECT(single photon emission tomography). Related procedures are image-guided surgery, robotic surgeryand interventional radiology.

Minimally invasive surgery should have less operative traumafor the patient than an equivalent invasive procedure. It may be more or less expensive. Operative time is longer, but hospitalization time is shorter. It causes less painand scarring, speeds recovery, and reduces the incidence of post-surgical complications, such as adhesions. Some studies have compared heart surgery. However, minimally invasive surgery is not necessarily minor surgery that only regional anesthesiais required. In fact, most of these procedures still requires general anesthesia to be administered beforehand.
