Minimally invasive surgery adopts a less invasive approach compared to traditional surgical techniques. This method involves surgical procedures performed with smaller incisions and less tissue damage. Minimally invasive surgery can be used in the treatment of many different diseases. Some of these include:

1. Gallbladder diseases: Minimally invasive surgery can be used in conditions such as gallstones or inflammation of the gallbladder. This method, called laparoscopic cholecystectomy, involves the removal of the gallbladder. 

2. Appendicitis: Appendicitis is the inflammation of the appendix. Minimally invasive surgery can be used in the removal of appendicitis. This method, called laparoscopic appendectomy, offers a faster recovery process and less risk of complications.

3. Hernia: Minimally invasive surgery can be preferred in the treatment of types of hernias such as inguinal, umbilical or incisional hernia. Laparoscopic hernia repair offers smaller incisions and a faster recovery process.

4. Colon and rectum cancer: Minimally invasive surgery can be used in patients with colon or rectum cancer. This method, called laparoscopic colon or rectum resection, involves the removal of cancerous tissue.

5. Stomach and esophagus diseases: Minimally invasive surgery can be preferred in diseases such as stomach or esophagus cancer. Laparoscopic gastrectomy or esophagectomy enables the removal of cancerous tissue.

These are just examples of some diseases where minimally invasive surgery can be used, and this method can be used in the treatment of many more diseases. However, since every patient's condition is different, it is important for your surgeon to determine the most suitable treatment method for you.
