  Speaker 1: Hello everyone, my name is Carrying Sarhan, and I would
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: like to start our discussion about how minimally invasive surgery
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: plays an increasingly crucial role in the health care system
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: of today. Throughout history, the process of surgery has undergone
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: tremendous evolution that has focused on improving patient safety and
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: making the process of recovery easier. Nowadays, minimally invasive surgery
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: is gaining popularity across various disciplines of medicine. This surgical
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: technique implies conducting surgeries using small sized incisions with specific instruments.
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: With the help of such methods as laparoscopy and robot
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: assisted surgery, doctors are able to operate with increased precision.
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: This type of surgery may provide numerous benefits to patients
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: who undergo operations with this technique. One of the main
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: reasons why minimally invasive surgery is constantly gaining importance is
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: related to its positive impact on post operative recovery. First
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: of all, small incisions imply less painful sensations experienced by
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: a patient. Furthermore, there will be a lower blood loss
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: and the chance of infection will be minimized. Finally, minimally
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: invasive techniques allow patients to spend less time in hospitals,
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: which makes the process of recovery more comfortable. As a
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: surgeon myself, I think it is essential that any modern
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: medical treatment finds a balance between being efficient enough to
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: be effective, but still as comfortable for the patient as possible.
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: That is exactly what minimally invasive methods offer, since these
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: allow surgeons to work more efficiently without putting patients under
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: extra stress. Of course, such surgery might not be an
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: option for some conditions or patients, yet it remains important
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: in most surgeries performed nowadays. Modern technologies also contribute to
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: this trend significantly. For example, there are better ways to
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: look at the inside of the body now thanks to
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: special imaging equipment and robotics. All this helps doctors operate
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: much better than ever before. Education and research are other
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: aspects of this development. Nowadays, surgeons do a lot of
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: studies that help them learn about patient outcomes, develop new techniques,
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: and provide better patient care. Overall, Future surgeons are also
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: trained in these approaches more often. The modern patient is
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: also more aware of his options regarding healthcare. Most individuals
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: have become adept at asking relevant questions about the process
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: of recovery, implications that can occur during the procedure, and
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: potential effects that will be experienced after the process. Thank
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: you for tuning into this discussion to day. My name
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: is Carriem Sahan and I am glad you listen to
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: this presentation concerning the evolution of minimally invasive surgery and
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: its effects on modern medicine.
