Minimally Invasive Urologic Surgery (MIUS) refers to surgical techniques used to treat urologic conditions with minimal disruption to the body. These procedures often involve small incisions or natural body openings and use specialized instruments, cameras, and sometimes robotic assistance to treat issues related to the kidneys, bladder, prostate, ureters, and reproductive organs.
Key features of MIUS include:
- Smaller Incisions: Compared to traditional open surgery, MIUS involves tiny cuts, often just a few millimeters in size.
- Less Pain: Due to smaller incisions, patients usually experience less post-operative pain.
- Faster Recovery: Minimally invasive techniques reduce tissue trauma, allowing for quicker healing and a faster return to normal activities.
- Reduced Risk of Complications: Smaller incisions and precision instruments reduce the likelihood of infections or other surgical complications.
- Enhanced Precision: Many MIUS procedures use robotic systems or laparoscopic techniques that allow surgeons to operate with great precision, reducing damage to surrounding tissues.
