Question

Which of the following apply to surgery using a scope (e.g., a laparoscope or arthroscope)? Check all of the boxes that apply. minimally invasive noninvasive lower risk of infection less pain and faster recovery times higher costs a surgeon is no longer necessary

Answer 1

Answer:

The correct answers are:

• minimally invasive
• lower risk of infection
• less pain and faster recovery time.

Explanation:

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

1. 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.
2. 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:

• Low risk of infection

• Short hospital stay

• Quick recovery time

• Less scarring

• Reduced blood loss
