ADVANCEMENTS IN MINIMALLY INVASIVE TECHNIQUES: REVOLUTIONIZING POSTOPERATIVE RECOVERY IN COLORECTAL SURGERY
DOI:
https://doi.org/10.70765/exkf1j46Abstract
OBJECTIVE: This study evaluates advancements in minimally invasive techniques (MITs) and their impact on postoperative recovery in colorectal surgery patients
METHOD: A retrospective cohort study was conducted at Khyber Teaching Hospital, Peshawar, from January 2024 to December 2024. Patients undergoing MITs were compared to those treated with conventional methods regarding postoperative outcomes, focusing on recovery times, complication rates, and patient satisfaction.
RESULT: A total of 200 patients were analyzed. MITs showed a significant reduction in recovery times and complication rates compared to conventional methods. Key metrics, such as satisfaction scores and pain relief levels, indicated superior outcomes for MITs.
CONCLUSION: MITs represent a revolution in colorectal surgery, enhancing postoperative recovery and reducing complications. Continued adoption and refinement of these techniques are essential for improving patient care
