Abstract
This review delineates the benefits of minimally invasive surgery (MIS) and its utilization at surgical centers and our institution. It further explores the literature for comparative outcomes of performing MIS to traditional open surgery for a variety of surgical subspecialties. In addition to its proven safety when compared to the open surgical technique, MIS has broad applications in many surgical subspecialties to enhance perioperative outcomes in both pediatric and adult patients. Although there are certain disadvantages with regard to cost of implementation in nascent communities and total operating time when the surgical complexity increases (such as utilizing a robotic approach), the added benefit of improved patient outcomes due to smaller incision sites is repeatedly proven in the literature making this technique globally essential.
