Minimally Invasive Procedures: Defined
Surgery performed through small incisions or the natural orifice using video cameras and specialized instrumentation
This approach is often referred to as Laparoscopic

Minimally Invasive Surgery Overview
The CDC estimates that 2 Million patients acquire nosocomial infections each year, resulting in over $4.5 Billion Dollars in cost to the US healthcare system. 1
Laparoscopic surgery reduced the risk of nosocomial infections by more than 50 percent when compared to open surgery, across hysterectomies, cholecystectomies (gallbladder) and appendectomies
Gallbladder—66% reductionHysterectomy—52% reductionAppendectomies—Lower, but not statistically significant
Reduction In Odds Of Acquiring Infection By Type:Respiratory Tract—80% reductionBloodstream—69% reductionWound—59% reductionUrinary Tract—39% reductionOthers—48% reduction
Hospital re-admissions associated with infection—65% reduction 2
Minimally Invasive Surgery Significantly Reduces Nosocomial Infections
