Most of the procedures in Global Hospital Mumbai are minimally invasive (through small incisions in the skin). A patient recovers 2 times faster after minimally invasive operations than after traditional open surgeries. The barely noticeable scar remains after the minimally invasive surgery.

Minimally invasive operations performed by Global Hospital Mumbai doctors:

• Arthroscopy of the joints. Arthroscopic surgery is the method for treatment of the knee, elbow and shoulder joints diseases. Doctors apply thin instruments and a mini-camera that are inserted through several punctures up to 1 cm.
• Hip replacement through anterior access. This is the method to replace the affected joint with an artificial one through an incision of up to 10 cm at the front of the thigh. In comparison, the incision size during traditional surgery is 15-25 cm, and a doctor cuts the tendons and ligaments to gain access to the joint. During the minimally invasive joint replacement, the ligaments are moved aside that speeds up the patient’s recovery.
