What is Pediatric Minimal Access Surgery?
Pediatric Minimal Access Surgery (MAS) is an advanced surgical technique used to operate on children. Similar to pediatric laparoscopic surgery, this advanced technique utilizes a keyhole approach with small ports typically measuring 3mm or 5mm in size, allowing the surgeon access to the body cavity. The pediatric MAS procedure is carried out through these small incisions, resulting in minimal scarring and faster recovery times.
What does Pediatric Minimal Access Surgery involve?
Complication rates for minimal access surgery are much lower compared to the traditional open surgery making it a safer alternative with regards to pain, infection, and overall recovery. Meanwhile, the risk of complications related to open surgical procedures remains unchanged.
