Traditional medical surgeries have several limitations such as long recovery time, high expensive, and more chances of infection. These factors make them uncomfortable, painful and expensive. As a result, minimally invasive surgeries are an emerging trend in orthopedic and dental domains. Such surgeries provide considerable benefits, such as low cost, faster recovery times, and less pain to patients. This technique allows surgeons to insert a tested and reliable implant through a shorter incision using surgical approaches that avoids pain.
For instance, in case of orthopedic implants, the minimally invasive technique is also known as quadriceps-sparing knee replacement, wherein a notch of 3-4” in length is used, which makes it a painless technique. Due to advances in materials and design, these implants have greater durability as compared to other orthopedic implants, claiming about 25-30 years. The number of implant surgeries is expected to increase by using this technique, as it encourages young patients to live a painless lifestyle at low cost and within less time.
