Minimally invasive surgery involves using surgical techniques involving tiny cuts in the skin - or no cut at all - as opposed to the traditional large cuts needed in surgical procedures. Minimally invasive surgeries are broadly divided into two
Robotic surgery minimally invasive surgery: This involves using robotic-assisted methods, where advanced robots are controlled by a surgeon controls the device from a console while viewing a 3-D high-definition image on the console, providing better image quality and more precise robotic arm movements.
Non-robotic minimally invasive surgery (endoscopy): Non-robotic minimally invasive surgery is also known as endoscopic surgery, and it involves the use of viewing aids such as a laparoscope, arthroscope etc containing video cameras and channels for small surgical equipment, passed through a small incision or natural opening, which serves as an eye to see internal organs and perfom operations internally with a minimal incision
overall, using endoscopes have the following advantages:
<em>The function of the excretory system is </em><em>to remove waste from the body, or any unnecessary materials not kept by storage functions. It is important because it helps maintain homeostasis within organisms</em>
<em>Organs that this system includes are </em><em>the skin, the kidneys, the large intestines, the liver, and the lungs.</em>
