What is the Role of Epidemiology in Minimally Invasive Surgery?
Minimally invasive surgery (MIS) has revolutionized surgical practice by reducing recovery times, complications, and hospital stays. Epidemiological research evaluates the long-term outcomes of MIS compared to traditional open surgeries. By analyzing large datasets, epidemiologists can assess the effectiveness, cost-efficiency, and patient satisfaction associated with MIS, thereby guiding its adoption and refinement.
