Minimally Invasive Surgery
Minimally Invasive Surgery (MIS) is a surgery performed via small incisions designed to limit trauma, pain, and the risk of infection for the patient. It is usually safer, with reduce complications in comparison with the same procedure performed traditionally with a large, open cut.
At Columbia Asia Hospital — Iskandar Puteri, MIS is performed in General Surgery and across a broad spectrum of specialties such as Gynecology, Orthopedic and Urology. Instruments and methods are varied, but overall, their technological superiority ensures minimal damage to structures whilst striving to attain the same results as open surgeries.
The surgeon uses specialized tools and techniques for fewer and smaller incisions, enabling a faster recovery and more comfortable healing process. Also known as keyhole surgery, minimally invasive surgery relies on the use of laparoscopic tools (surgical instruments with tiny tubes and cameras) or endoscopic tools (a medical imaging device inserted directly into the organ).

Compared to conventional open surgery, laparoscopic surgery offers you many benefits, including:
Lower Infection Risk and Pain
Reduced risk of infection, pain, and tissue damage due to smaller incisions.
Minimized Scar Tissue for Future Procedures
Less scar tissue which reduces the complexity of future procedures.
Lower Infection Risk and Pain
Reduced risk of infection, pain, and tissue damage due to smaller incisions.
Minimized Scar Tissue for Future Procedures
Less scar tissue which reduces the complexity of future procedures.
Reduced Bleeding
Less blood loss during procedures, leading to a lower need for transfusions and faster recovery.
Shorter Hospital Stays
Shorter duration of hospital stays.

Holmium Laser Enucleation of the Prostate (HoLEP)
HoLEP is a minimally invasive surgical treatment for men with any degree of prostate enlargement who have urinary symptoms, and men who are suffering from retention of urine, repeated urine infections or bleeding due to their enlarged prostate.
HoLEP hat uses pulses of laser beam to remove tissue from the inside of the prostate, which surrounds the urethra (the tube leading from the bladder to the urinary opening). HoLEP is minimally invasive and carries a low risk of complications compared to other surgeries that treat the same condition.
