Outcomes and Surgical Strategies of Minimally Invasive Chevron/Akin Procedures

Foot & Ankle International, 2021
Background: Minimally invasive surgery (MIS) is increasingly being used for bunion correction, but limited patient outcome data have been reported for third-generation minimally invasive chevron/Akin (MICA) techniques. The aim of this study was to report on radiographic outcomes, pain control, satisfaction, learning curve, and complication rates in a ...

Are Minimally Invasive Procedures Harder to Acquire than Conventional Surgical Procedures?

Gynecologic and Obstetric Investigation, 2010
<i>Background:</i> It is frequently suggested that minimally invasive surgery (MIS) is harder to acquire than conventional surgery. To test this hypothesis, residents’ learning curves of both surgical skills are compared. <i>Methods:</i> Residents had to be assessed using a general global rating scale of the OSATS (Objective ...

Minimally invasive approaches and surgical procedures in the lumbar spine

Der Orthopäde, 1997
The history of minimally invasive lumbar spine surgery began in 1963 with the introduction of chemonucleolysis. Like this technique, the later development of mechanical nucleotomy and lasernucleotomy aimed primarily at reduction of the disc pressure.

Minimally Invasive: Minimally Reimbursed? An Examination of Six Laparoscopic Surgical Procedures

Surgical Innovation, 2005
It is generally believed that minimally invasive surgery (MIS) results in less postoperative pain, fewer complications, and shorter recovery periods compared with open procedures. Yet despite these benefits, the level of reimbursement assigned to the surgeon by United States health-care payers is often lower than that for open procedures. Furthermore,

The Course of the Angular Artery in the Midface: Implications for Surgical and Minimally Invasive Procedures

Aesthetic Surgery Journal, 2020
Abstract Background Previous anatomic studies have provided valuable information on the 2-dimensional course of the angular segment of the facial artery in the midface and its arterial connections. The third dimension (ie, the depth of the artery) is less well characterized.

Minimally Invasive Surgical Procedures for Spine Pain Management [PDF]

, 2019
Spine surgery has been rapidly evolving to deal with more complex pathology as well as address spine disease in a more elegant manner. Minimally invasive approaches are an example of this evolution. They have undergone many iterations in the last several decades to hone improvements in efficacy and tissue-sparing techniques.

Surgical Technique: Minimally Invasive Procedures

2017
The patient is in the supine position with arms and legs abducted. We use the five-port technique. The camera port is inserted at the umbilicus; the other four ports are placed in a V-shaped line: one 5 mm port at the right hypochondriac region and one 10 mm port in the middle of a slightly curved line between the two ports.
