Introduction: Radio-guided parathyroid surgery along with other minimally invasive surgeries constitutes the main surgical treatment procedures for different kinds of hyperparathyroidism.  In this article we have reported our experience of radio-guided parathyroid surgery using Tc-99m sestamibi. Methods: Ten patients with hyperparathyroidism included in our study. ...

  Wound complications following ankle fracture surgery are a major concern. Through the use of minimally invasive surgical techniques some of these complications can be mitigated. Recent investigations have reported on percutaneous fixation of distal fibula fractures demonstrating similar radiographic and functional outcomes to traditional open approaches. The purpose of this manuscript is to ...

BACKGROUND Elective aesthetic surgeries are increasing in the Iranian population with reasons linked to body image dissatisfaction and psychological symptoms. This study compared the body image dissatisfaction and psychological symptoms among invasive and minimally invasive aesthetic surgery patients and a control group. METHODS Data from 90 participants (invasive aesthetic surgery=30 ...

Laparoscopy is playing an increasingly important role in gynecologic oncology. The benefits of minimally invasive surgery for oncology patients and the quality of this treatment are well documented. Outcomes and quality of minimally invasive surgical procedures to treat cervical cancer were evaluated based on retrospective and case-control studies; outcomes and quality after minimally invasive ...

Because of their unique mechanical properties and biocompatibility, shape memory alloys (SMAs) have found many applications in minimally invasive surgery (MIS). Many novel surgical devices have been developed based on SMAs, which have become essential tools for MIS. In this paper, the historical development of SMAs for MIS is reviewed, including devices for cardiovascular surgery, laparoscopic ...

Despite the significant advancement of minimally invasive surgery (MIS) in the adults and even in pediatric population, its role as the standard of care in the neonates has not yet been established among the pediatric and neonatal surgeons universally. Lots of controversies still arise though several advanced centers in the world having very experienced surgeons performing MIS for neonatal surg...

cles or the tendons then that’s minimally invasive surgery. If you can do it with two incisions, three incisions, or ten incisions, it doesn’t matter, as long as you don’t cut the muscles or the tendons. Most of the ways that surgeons are doing a single mini incision involve cutting the muscles and cutting the tendons. There’s nothing magic about making one incision or two incisions. However, t...
