Minimally Invasive Surgery Unit

NMC Hospital offers minimally invasive surgery for many surgical procedures. Minimally invasive surgery means significantly less pain, fewer side effects, less scarring, a shorter recovery period, and a faster return to normal activities than traditional or “open� surgery.

Minimally invasive surgery is the use of tiny tools and small incisions (cuts) to diagnose and repair surgical problems. Some of these tools are smaller than the tip of a pencil. Some of the incisions are only as wide a pencil.

Minimally invasive surgery results in significantly less pain, fewer side effects, less scarring, a shorter recovery period, and a faster return to normal activities than traditional or “open� surgery. Patients can go home the same day as the surgery after many minimally invasive procedures. Sometimes they need to stay in the hospital overnight or for a few days.

For most minimally invasive procedures, the surgeon uses a tiny telescope-like instrument (arthroscope or laparoscope) connected to a tiny video camera or a light source that lets him or her see inside the body. Video monitors in the operating room show the inside of the patient’s body. The surgeon repairs the problem by passing tiny surgical instruments through the arthroscope, endoscope, or laparoscope, or through other small incisions.

Other minimally invasive methods are used primarily in one surgical field. For example, Gamma-knife radiosurgery is used in brain surgery. Video-assisted thoracoscopy is used in chest surgery. Extracorporeal shock-wave lithotripsy and ureteroscopy are used in urological surgery. Endovascular surgery is used in vascular surgery.

NMC surgeons have been performing minimally invasive surgery for many years. They were the first surgeons in NOIDA to perform minimally invasive procedures.

NMC’s Leadership in Minimally Invasive Solutions

The Minimally Invasive Surgery Center offers more minimally invasive procedures than any other hospital in NOIDA. Very few hospitals in the region have an exclusive Minimally Invasive Unit and NMC being the first multi-superspeciality hospital in this part of the country, has a pool of surgeons carrying out minimally invasive procedures successfully for about two decades.
