Endoscopic Surgery refers to minimally invasive procedures where an endoscope is used to diagnose and treat conditions without the need for large incisions. The endoscope is a flexible tube with a camera, which allows the surgeon to view and operate on internal structures. This approach is commonly used in gastrointestinal, respiratory, and urological surgeries.

The main benefits of endoscopic surgery include smaller incisions, reduced risk of infection, less postoperative pain, and faster recovery compared to traditional open surgery. It is particularly useful for diagnostic procedures, such as biopsies, as well as therapeutic interventions like tumor removal or stent placements.

Postoperative care generally includes monitoring for infection and managing pain. Recovery time is significantly shorter, and most patients can resume normal activities within days to a week, depending on the procedure.

Endoscopic surgery has revolutionized the way many medical conditions are treated, offering a less invasive alternative to traditional surgery and improving overall patient outcomes.
