What is Hernia ? What are its symptoms?

A hernia happens when an opening develops in the muscular wall of a body region, such as the groyne or abdomen, allowing an internal organ to protrude outside. A hernia can result in problems that are life-threatening if left untreated. However, understanding the meaning of a hernia can be improved by learning more about the symptoms and indicators.

A hernia typically happens when a particular organ is compressed by a weak spot in the muscle around it. Depending on how severe they are, many hernia types may have effects. However, they are all the result of the fascia's susceptibility and ongoing pressure. A hernia may develop in the body when the pressure surges through the organ. Any person who notices hernia symptoms including sneezing, diarrhoea, or constipation must fully comprehend what a hernia is.

symptoms

A hernia may cause discomfort, a mild or occasionally painful bulge or swelling that is more noticeable when you're standing up and goes away when you're lying down. When a portion of the intestine becomes clogged or strangulated in the sac due to its short neck, a hernia can develop into an emergency condition. A hernia that causes severe stomach pain requires immediate medical intervention.

The common symptoms of hernia include:

>Lumps or painful swellings that progressively grow larger but go away when you lie down or exert pressure

> An uncomfortable or hurting feeling

>difficulty lifting objects

>Hiatal hernias may cause chest pain, heartburn, and difficulty swallowing.

Men and women, infants and adults, as well as men and women, can all experience hernias. In addition to groyne pain and swelling, a hernia can cause other signs and symptoms as well. To check for any severe hernia-related issues, the doctor's advice is required.

WIP Weekend/Sunday Six

Tagged by @augustjustice Thank you so much!

Here's a (six paragraph rather than sentence) snippet from my new Summer of Smut entry:

“How do we want to do this?” Ed asks. “Have you already forgotten how?” Oswald teases. “I just want to make sure you’re comfortable.” The scar is still tender months after the surgery, low on his belly, cut horizontally. Oswald takes comfort in the fact that he doesn’t have to look at it -- one benefit of how large and soft his belly has become in recent years. He had held out hope until the second ultrasound. The tumors were too big to go in laparoscopically and so he’d ended up with a three-day stay in the hospital and two weeks of mandatory bed rest. A lifetime in the criminal underworld, though Ed and Victor had apparently kept their word about crushing dissent, particularly from Two-Face’s contingent. Ed had also personally watched while the attending surgical team incinerated the multiple masses excised from his body. To cover his modesty as much as possible while also ensuring that no more of his genetic material ended up in unknown hands.

FtM Hysto Recovery + Tips (Plus general tips for dealing with low/no spoons or recovering from any surgery)

I haven't been on Tumblr for years, but recently re-joined to check out art, as I start to work on getting my idea for a graphic novel off the ground (as well as getting serious about improving my art again). However, I'm hoping these first few posts get found by an entirely different audience. This is being written in 2023.

I'm going in for a laparoscopic hysterectomy on Thursday (today is Monday) and want to share my experience, as much as spoons will allow, so that other people can hopefully benefit in the future. I, personally, have struggled to find things online that fit my situation as a trans man with a history of pre-cancerous pap smears, abnormal bleeding, PID and ovarian cysts (but not PCOS). Although hysterectomies for "GRS" or gender affirming surgery purposes are easy to get where I live, mine in particular is primarily being done to avoid cancer and to stop the abnormal bleeding and random debilitating pain that comes out of nowhere every few years and upends my life for weeks/months. So if you're someone facing the prospect of a laparoscopic hysterectomy, regardless of your gender identity, and have a history of medical issues (but not PCOS or endometriosis) in your reproductive region, this blog may help you! Or, alternatively, if you're a trans man looking to get a laparoscopic hysterectomy, whether or not you've had issues in that region, this might help you, too!

It should be noted that this is written from the perspective of someone in their 30s with a complicated medical history, including Type 2 Diabetes and a very rare kidney disease (which has an average life expectancy of 29 years for men, but we aren't sure how it affects trans men), so the pre-surgery process I've been through is not the typical one. I also have chronic pain and know from my past experiences with very severe pain that a) I have a low tolerance for any pain beyond what I deal with day-to-day and b) I have a high tolerance for opiate pain medication, which means it takes a higher dose for me to address the level of pain that a lower dose would address in someone else. These both affect the length of time that I'll likely need to be on painkillers, and how functional I'll be while I'm on them. This, in turn, affects how quickly I'll be able to do things like return to work and driving.

I should also note that although it's common in some places for this surgery to be completed as day surgery, my jurisdiction almost always keeps people in overnight; this is because it takes almost 24 hours for the anesthetic to work its way out of your system, and until it does they won't have a true indication of your pain levels and, therefore, won't be able to make sure it's adequately controlled before sending you home. It's much easier (in my experience, and according to the doctors!) to stop you from having pain in the first place than to get it under control once you do.

Also, I live with my partner and a roommate, and my retired parents are about 90 minutes away and have a guest room. My support network isn't huge, but it's high quality. My partner managed to get 3 days off work for my surgery and the 2 days following, and after that is on a light workload for about a week in case she needs to take care of me. She also has a lot of flexibility with her job, and her boss really likes me, so if there are complications or she needs to spend more time at home to look after me, I don't think it's completely out of the question. All of this is to say that I'm going into this surgery from a very privileged place, in terms of not having to do much to look after myself in the aftermath. My surgeon did advise me, however, to take 1 week (for sure) off work if I could, and that I may need a second week. My work consists of two research jobs that draw heavily on my brain power, but don't require me to move around at all, especially as I work from home, so the issue is the painkillers, rather than actual healing time. Other jobs will require different amounts of time off work.

Because I'm neurodivergent and like to have as many details as possible about ... literally everything, I'm going to make this as detailed as I can. Essentially, I'm hoping to share everything I know and experience without leaving anything out. If it's too much detail for you, I'm going to be doing my best to include useful headers.

Notification of Surgery & Lead-up

I received notice about my surgery just over a month before my surgery date; it was around June 26th that I was emailed and told my surgery would be on August 3rd. I had previously met my surgeon in January, and was told it would be a 6-8 month wait until surgery. Between that appointment and being given my surgery date, I'd had bloodwork done, as well as an internal ultrasound. I've had several internal ultrasounds before and while they are far from pleasant, they are not as dysphoria-inducing for me as they are for other trans men, I'm sure. I am more physically uncomfortable during them than mentally/spiritually uncomfortable.

In the notification email, my surgeon sent additional attachments; about 200 pages of information from a) their office specifically and b) the health authority [one document about hysterectomies, one document about recovering from surgery in general]. These documents answered most of my questions, and also had instructions about fasting, pre-surgery instructions (there's a special sponge I have to buy and use the night before surgery and the morning of surgery) and recovery information. The documents were very generic, and because they came from different sources, the information was sometimes contradictory. I, personally, took the information on board in this order of trustworthiness:

Things my surgeon had said in-person during my consultation appointment in January

Things included in the information from my surgeon's office directly

Things included in the documents from the health authority

If there were contradictions that seemed extremely important (e.g. one document said to wash everything my face with the special sponges, while another said, in all caps, to absolutely NOT wash my head or face with the sponges), I followed-up with the surgeon's office or the most appropriate person (e.g. pharmacist).

Pre-surgery Appointments

Because of my medical history (diabetes and Alport's Syndrome), I had an extra step in here. My surgeon required me to have a consultation with my internal medicine doctor's clinic (but not with my specialist) to get the all-clear and make sure my risk level wasn't too high. This doctor made some assumptions about the medications I'm taking, which led him to think I had both diabetes and a heart condition, which would have put me in a much higher risk category. Because of that, he ordered extra bloodwork, and an ECG, and booked a follow-up with me for a few days later. That initial appointment with him ended on the assumption that the surgery likely would be postponed. However, the bloodwork and ECG all came back fine, and at the follow-up he gave me the all-clear and said my risk wasn't very high at all.

I had a few other pre-surgery appointments.

One was with the surgeon. In my case, the doctor actually doing my surgery is a resident colleague of the surgeon I initially consulted with. Now that I had a specific date for the surgery, and my life situation had changed a bit since the consultation (e.g. work), I asked to meet with the surgeon to ask questions that had come up since the initial consultation, and so that I could meet the person who would be cutting into me and make sure I was comfortable with her. She answered all my questions really well, and it turned out I was more comfortable with her than the original surgeon. This was a quick 5-10 minute talk, but I highly recommend asking for it, even if your surgeon hasn't changed. You'll have another chance to talk to your surgery just before being wheeled into the OR, but you'll be nervous and may be medicated by then, and it's just nice to have this conversation ahead of time and in an environment where you can look at a list of questions you've written down, and actually pay attention to the answers.

The hospital required another two appointments before surgery:

The pharmacist

About a week before my surgery, the pharmacist called for 5-10 minutes to discuss my current medications, supplements, vitamins and holistic medicines (if I were taking any) and to find out what time of day I take them at. Easy peasy.

2. The anesthetist

Exactly a week before my surgery, the anesthetist called to discuss the operation itself and the anesthetic. I'm not sure if the doctor I talked to will be the anesthetist who is actually in the room with me, or if it was just her job that particular day to call and get the information that will get passed onto the one who will be in the room. She was very nice, and explained the method of anesthesia, as well as how I'll likely feel when I wake up, etc. She also saw on my chart that I have a history of chronic pain, and zeroed in on my back and shoulder. She asked if there are any positions that make me more comfortable, and then explained the position I'd be in for my surgery -- tipped back toward my head -- and that this sometimes gives people back and shoulder pain even if they don't have any to begin with. She said my arms would be alongside my body, fairly tight to it, and I said that would be fine. I practiced laying them beside my body later that day and promptly discovered that's actually pretty painful for one arm, but I'll mention that when I get there and hope for the best! If I was having the conversation again, I'd answer by saying I wasn't sure how that would feel but that I'd practice it before the surgery day to see, and then ask who I could talk to if it turned out there's a better position or if that one wouldn't work. Ultimately though, the surgery should be 1.5 hours to 4 hours at most, so I'm not overly concerned. What you should take away from this if you're having this surgery and don't already have back/shoulder pain is that you might wake up with some, but that it should go away in a day or maybe a little less. This type of surgery also requires the surgeon to inflate your belly with gas in order to make room for the scopes and so that they can see what they're doing. That gas can stick around for a day, sometimes two, according to the anesthetist and can be a little bit painful or uncomfortable. I can't remember anything else that came out of this conversation.

In terms of pre-surgery appointments, that was it.

Tips and Tricks for Being Prepared

The next little bit is information I acquired through talking to my therapist (who's had several laparoscopic surgeries!) and many hours of research online, as well as living as a person who often has few spoons.

Get your first 1-2 weeks of meals planned and ready in advance. For me, this means I've picked up a large number of cans of Alphaghetti-type foods, and I'll be buying as many frozen meals as I can but have VERY little freezer room because my partner and I share with our tenant. Other options include things like HelloFresh, identifying nights when it will be easier for your partner if you order food in (if you can afford to), making big batches of food leading up to surgery while you're well and then freezing them, creating a list of meals you'd appreciate friends bringing over [remind them to bring them in disposable containers, so you don't have to feel guilty when it takes you weeks to get the containers back to them!], etc

Buy some Depends/adult diapers. I bought store brand (Life brand, specifically, which is Canadian) ones. The only ones I could get were maximum absorbency unless I wanted to pay twice the price for name brand ones, but I suspect I could do with a minimum absorbency one. I bought the underwear-style ones. In the store brand, they don't look very underwear-like at all, but if you have more money to spend, some of the name brand ones look convincingly like underwear! I also bought 'Unisex' ones, but would have bought womens if the unisex ones weren't an option; I suspect the mens' might have a built-in bulge area that would be awkward for me. The point of the adult diapers is that their 'waistband' is not a traditional waistband -- it's about 8" tall, very thin, and crinkle-cut so that it doesn't put pressure on your skin. This will stop you from having clothing pushing on your incision sites. BONUS is that they ARE absorbent, so you won't have to also wear pads to deal with discharge (which can, apparently, last for 6 weeks). Try the Depends on for a day a few days before surgery. Yes, it will be awkward and you'll feel silly. I am literally sitting in bed, with nothing wrong with me, wearing nothing but an adult diaper and a tee shirt while my partner's at work. But this has 2 purposes: 1) chances are you haven't worn these before, and you want to make sure you've got the most comfortable ones you can in terms of fit and style; 2) if you've worn them once already, it'll be familiar when you go to put it on when you're ready to leave the hospital; you'll know which side is the back and which side is the front, and the 'weirdness' of wearing them will be less unsettling. You're going to have other weird stuff going on, this doesn't have to be yet another weird thing happening!

If you live alone or your partner doesn't (or can't) change the sheets, layer sheets on the bed. That's right, layer your mattress with bottom sheets. That way, you can peel the top one off and have a cleaner sheet beneath it. It won't be the same as being able to sleep on a fresh, clean sheet straight out of the cupboard or dryer, but it's going to be better than the one you've slept, sweat or, universe forbid, bled on.

Get a LEAKPROOF (truly) travel mug with a handle. After surgery you'll have maybe one comfortable position to lay in. You're not going to want to get out of that position to retrieve your water, but you're also going to need to be drinking a lot of water (it helps you recover, and also helps get your bowels moving again). Being able to lose your water in the bed is a luxury, but a necessary one. I got mine at Winners for pretty cheap.

Get a nightie or onesie. I usually sleep naked. I don't really own pyjamas -- when I need to cover up to sleep (like when I visit friends or travel), I throw on a pair of joggers, or boxer briefs. But those both have waistbands and, remember, we're trying to avoid waistbands. I ordered a sleep shirt from Oodie, which was on sale, but still expensive (I paid around $60, including 1-2 business day shipping because I didn't think of it until the last minute), as well as a halloween one-sie from Old Navy that's apparently leftover from last year's halloween stock. I'm expecting the onesie to be way too hot, but I need something I can wear out in public in case I have to get groceries, or pick something up at the pharmacy, or stand outside because the building's burning, without exposing myself. I also borrowed a robe to go over the sleep shirt when I leave the hospital.

Have whoever's picking you up bring 2 pillows. One goes between your abdomen and the seatbelt, and you sit on the other one.

Have whoever's picking you up bring fast food. When you leave the hospital you're going to either be ravenously hungry or feel like you never want to eat again. Either way, fast food is going to be the one thing you didn't realize you needed so badly in your life until that moment. Your body's going to be craving carbs and fat, and fat is also what's going to help your pain pills kick in.

Have ice cream, chips or other junk food on hand. This is mostly so that you have something to eat when you take your pain pills. Fatty foods help opiates work faster; as someone who takes them several times a month for chronic pain, I've sometimes noticed a difference of -hours- between taking them with fatty foods and taking them on their own.

Get a walking aid. We use our abdomens for everything. If you don't already have something like a cane, pick one up. Keep the receipt though; if you don't end up using it, you can usually take them back. With that said, my therapist said it's at about the 2 week mark when you feel like you actually need one. If you don't have a cane but you have walking/hiking sticks, dig them out and keep them handy.

Grab some baby wipes. You can get laparoscopic incisions wet, but that doesn't mean you're going to feel like you have the energy or endurance to shower right away. You're still going to want to keep your pits and bits clean.

If you take daily medications, organize them in a pill organizer. Things can get confusing when you're on painkillers, or when a partner is dishing out your meds. You know exactly how many you take, and how often, so the best way to approach this is to get a pill organizer and get all your doses for a week ready before your surgery. Monday AM, Monday PM, Tuesday AM, Tuesday PM, that kind of thing. There's nothing worse than being on painkillers and trying to remember if you've already taken That Very Important Medication You Can't Miss or not. Or, worse, not even realizing you've missed something that can give you withdrawal symptoms, and suddenly waking up a few days after surgery feeling worse than you've ever felt in your life and wondering if you need to go to the ER, only to have it turn out that you missed your meds.

Buy something for yourself that you can look forward to. I bought a video game that I've wanted for a couple of years that was finally on sale. I haven't touched it, and won't until sometime after surgery when I feel up to it. Giving yourself a little reward when you're going through something hard is always nice.

If you're diabetic...take a minute before your surgery to remind your partner/anyone you live with/anyone who's going to be looking after you about how and when to check your blood sugars, what numbers are abnormal for you, and what to do about them. Being ill or recovering from a surgery can really throw your diabetes out of whack, even if it's well-controlled beforehand, and recovering from surgery might make you feel a lot of the same symptoms you'd feel from a hypo/hyper or DKA, so make sure you (or someone else) test your sugars regularly and have things on hand to deal with abnormal or worrying results.

Take your phone everywhere. Painkillers (and pain) can make us unsteady. As someone who's taken a fall and had to wait hours for my partner to wake up and find me and help me back to my feet (and then bed), I don't recommend it.

These are the things I know about pre-surgery, but I'll try to update...eventually if I learn anything new post-surgery.

Re: questions for worldbuilding. Any thoughts on Charles, Donna, Liv and the difficult teenage years phase? Young adult and adult life?

I have thought about this all afternoon and I’m going to give a long answer. (Thank you <3 )

I’m glad that Liv has a solid foundation with her parents, built on love and trust. It makes it less painful for me to consider them arguing. Because of course they’re going to get into arguments, what teenager doesn’t? Donna has been preparing for this for years. It’s harder on Charles, who is just as prone to getting frustrated over ‘nothing’ as Liv is right now. I foresee many nights of him in bed sighing loudly into his pillow, and Donna comes in and touches him on the back or shoulder, like

“She doesn’t hate you.”

Charles, crying: “I know.”

And Charles is equipped to tell his daughter it’s okay that her feelings don’t make sense. They don’t need to make sense. She does not need to try and explain herself to him after they argue, they just spend some time apart to calm down, and then it’s back to normal. He doesn’t expect her to apologize, and he’s more likely to ask if she’s in pain at all than demand an explanation. If there is something she wants to talk about, she has two great parents who will listen and give advice. She also has a lot of friends through her school, orchestra, and the Girl Scouts, so she always has someone she can talk to, or just a friendly face if she needs one. It’s important to me that she isn’t going through any of this alone! (She’s my kid too lol)

Her biggest frustration (and I’m sure it’s a common one) comes with getting her period. She hates losing any of her privacy, and it’s been years since she has needed a caregiver at home and she doesn’t want to feel like she’s regressing. She wants to be independent but also likes living with her parents, she doesn’t want things to change. I think she would do okay with her parents’ help a few times (there is no couple anywhere in the neighborhood More Chill about handling someone else’s blood) and then insist she can figure it out on her own, but she is struggling and they know this. She doesn’t feel it happening and she’s embarrassed when she doesn’t know :(

Fortunately for her, her parents always have Medical Advice when she has frustrations such as this one.

Charles brings it up carefully, like he did when she was given the option to have her -ostomy procedures done. He doesn’t want her to feel forced into anything, and lets her know of benefits and potential complications. Unfortunately Liv is a bit early to have a laparoscopic hysterectomy, so she would have additional recovery time and scarring to deal with. Forced sterility being the norm around this era, so I want to make it very very clear that Charles explains all of this in detail, and that Liv - bless her heart and soul - assumed all children were adopted until she was like, at least ten years old. So being told ‘you wouldn’t be able to have children naturally,’ doesn’t upset her, it makes her wonder why she never thought about that possibility at all.

“Any time I thought about myself being a mom, I always thought my kids would be adopted,” she tells Charles.

“...it can be very rewarding,” he replies. (I swear I’m always making this man Choked Up but he is. That’s just how he is. On the brink of experiencing Emotions.)

Once again, her parents do not perform the surgery, but they are present, and Liv gets to recover at the hospital in Donna’s PACU ward, Charles visits her room constantly.

In lighter news though, how I said she has lots of friends!! I think for her 13th birthday, she organizes a special movie night for her party. She invites everyone in her class (all of whom use mobility aids of some kind), and some girls from her Troop. And Cousin Charles comes to visit also. They’re going to the movies! You know Charles makes sure there’s a theater with plenty of open space so they can all sit together as friends.

Meanwhile, he and Donna are going to another movie at the same theater. This absolute dork (affectionate) gives Liv his pager to let her know if she needs anything. I love this for them because it’s discreet for Liv but beeps loud as hell at Charles, and you bet he is there as fast as humanly possible any time she uses it. PLUS when it’s beeping in public Especially in the quiet movie theater, his Extra ass gets to be like ‘EXCUSE ME I AM A DOCTOR’ which he loves doing tbqh

So while they’re inviting kids to this, Donna is helping fill out the invitations, and Liv has listed out everyone in her class except this One Boy (because she Likes him and she’s all Flustered about it) so Donna has to ‘remind her’ to add his name and she is just like blushing and rambling and oh oops I forgot :) (she did not forget) thank you Mom :)

And she has a great time at her birthday party on her (not at all) secret date.

“My only advice is to… not get married tonight,” Charles says.

“Dad!”

“...or, do. It’s worked out just fine for us.”

“Mom!”

Then they leave her with her friends to have fun! I haven’t thought about what movie they go to see… maybe Grease. Charles is honestly in awe of his little girl having more friends than he ever has in his life, and he’s glad about it too. Where did I go wrong myself vs. where did I go very very right with my kid. That’s what it’s all about babey.

So essentially I think if you have supportive parents and a lot of friends going through it with you, growing up isn’t so bad. In her case.

When she’s an adult!

Like I said, she wants to be independent, but she genuinely likes her parents (imagine that) and they have everything in the house set up just for her. It would be a pain to get all of that done in a new house (though her parents would make it happen) and she’d be lonely. Charles and Donna try to give her more time and space to herself, and if she wants to go out with friends or on dates they will drop her off wherever she wants to go and not hover over her all night. I think she’s on track to audition for the BSO when she turns 18. If she goes that route, she does not even go to college and Charles realizes after a while that he LOVES THAT for her. It’s not something they argue about, but he has been quietly working on improving accessibility at a number of universities in Massachusetts…... Yes, including Harvard…. And he’s a bit sad she doesn’t end up attending any of them. But she is such a talented musician, what more does she need to learn? He’s happy to know she’s spending all of her time playing, rehearsing, performing, and just being immersed in music.

If she doesn’t go that route, the only other thing I can picture her doing is curating for a museum in the city. She learned a lot about birds and textiles in particular as a girl scout, and can put that information to use in making amazing educational displays. Harvard, Tufts, and Amherst are all options for this (and I believe they would’ve been in Liv’s era, as well, though don’t quote me on that.) I think she’d enjoy it.

I think she went through a brief phase earlier in her life of thinking she is supposed to be a doctor or nurse, and being heartbroken that she… can’t. But, again, (and she has this in common with her dad) it never clicked that she could play music and do nothing else, for a career. She loves playing music, so she kind of assumed it wouldn’t be a job (even knowing she wanted to play with the orchestra since she first attended as a little girl.) Like father, like daughter. She also doesn’t need to have a job at all, strictly speaking, so it’s good she can pursue a passion :) Yeah, they’re going to need to reduce her rehearsal hours so she can rest. They need to give her enough room on stage instead of crowding her in between the other violinists. They need to make sure there is a restroom she can use. But in this happy universe, the staff and very likely the conductor, some of the musicians, etc. have known Liv since she was little, and they will do whatever she needs.

She might someday feel ready to move out, but I’m not sure she wants to. I think if she wants to live with a partner, that would be the deciding factor for her. Otherwise she gets along well with her parents, and has everything she needs and wants. If she moves out, she isn’t far away, and she can come and visit them any time <3

Thank you again SO MUCH for asking, and giving me something to write other than my Writing Project. I can elaborate on any of this too if you would like!

Minimally Invasive Gastrointestinal Surgery: Benefits and Procedures

Minimally invasive surgery has revolutionized the field of gastrointestinal (GI) health, offering numerous advantages over traditional surgical methods. At Healix Hospitals, we pride ourselves on providing top-notch Minimally Invasive Gastrointestinal Surgery, utilizing the latest techniques and technologies to ensure the best possible outcomes for our patients. This blog post delves into the benefits of minimally invasive surgery, various gastrointestinal surgery procedures, and what patients can expect in terms of recovery and overall gastrointestinal health.

What is Minimally Invasive Gastrointestinal Surgery?

Minimally Invasive Gastrointestinal Surgery refers to a range of surgical techniques used to treat conditions affecting the digestive tract. Unlike traditional open surgery, minimally invasive procedures involve smaller incisions, resulting in less pain, faster recovery, and reduced risk of complications. Laparoscopic gastrointestinal surgery is one of the most common forms of minimally invasive GI surgery, where surgeons use a laparoscope – a thin tube with a camera – to perform the surgery with precision.

Benefits of Minimally Invasive Surgery

The benefits of minimally invasive surgery are numerous, making it a preferred option for many patients and surgeons. Here are some key advantages:

Reduced Pain and Discomfort: Smaller incisions mean less trauma to the body, which translates to less postoperative pain.

Faster Recovery Time: Patients typically experience quicker healing and shorter hospital stays compared to traditional surgery.

Lower Risk of Complications: Minimally invasive techniques reduce the risk of infection and other complications associated with larger surgical wounds.

Minimal Scarring: Smaller incisions result in less noticeable scars, which can be a significant aesthetic benefit.

Improved Patient Outcomes: Overall, patients undergoing minimally invasive surgery tend to have better outcomes and higher satisfaction rates.
