The conventional surgical method consist or three main stages: cutting the patient open, removing or repairing an organ or tissue and closing the patient up again. In minimally invasive surgery, the effect of the first and last of these is decreased as far as possible, either by gaining access to the body through natural orifices or by operating through very small holes(typical 5-15mm across) cut into the body. The evolution of fiber optic light source, miniature video cameras and specially designed (example: cutting, grasping, stapling) tool has allowed increasingly complex surgeries to be performed, with the surgeon being guided by high resolution magnified video images.
