Any surgery creates an incision of a certain size that can cause localized tissue damage, and then stitches are needed to promote hemostasis and healing. Minimally invasive surgery refers to minimally invasive surgeries that are performed using modern medical devices and related equipment such as laparoscopy and thoracoscopy.
A suture is a medical device that is used to sew tissues together to promote wound healing. In minimally invasive surgery, suture devices can be used to close tiny wounds such as incisions or punctures to minimize postoperative pain and recovery time.
