This site is dedicated to one of AMTI’s four pillars: Minimally Invasive Surgery. Minimally invasive surgery, otherwise known as Laparoscopic or Keyhole surgery, describes procedures performed with the use of a video camera, long thin instruments, and a television monitor. Laparoscopic surgery is becoming increasingly popular with patients because the scars are smaller and the period of recovery is shorter.
