Endoscopic Surgery
A minimally invasive surgical technique using an endoscope to diagnose and treat conditions inside the body.
About this procedure
Endoscopic surgery is a medical procedure that involves the use of an endoscope—a flexible tube with a camera and light—to view and operate on internal organs through small incisions or natural openings. It reduces pain, scarring, and recovery time compared to traditional open surgery.
