In minimally invasive surgical procedures, doctors employ advanced techniques and robotics to operate. It gives doctors greater vision and control during surgery for less invasive, safer, and precise surgical outcomes. Minimally invasive surgery is generally less risky as the surgical incisions are smaller. Typically, in traditional open surgery, to access the body part or organ being operated on requires larger incisions. A traditional open hysterectomy, for example, requires a six to 12-inch incision.

Patients have less discomfort and pain than those who undergo open surgery. Often, there is less trauma during minimally invasive surgery, which might explain having less pain. In addition, smaller open wounds reduce the risk of bacteria and infection.
