What are the advantages of endoscopic surgery?

Compared with open surgery, endoscopic surgery has many advantages, as follows:
Less invasive: Endoscopic surgery only needs to be operated on natural or artificial openings inside the body without incision of the skin. This results in less trauma to the body and also reduces post-operative pain and healing time.
Fast recovery: Endoscopic surgery can allow patients to recover quickly, faster than open surgery. Patients can quickly return to normal life without the long periods of rest and recovery that surgery requires.
Shorter hospital stay: The hospital stay is usually shorter for endoscopic surgery than for open surgery. Patients can go home on the same day of surgery, instead of being hospitalized for a few days like surgery.
High safety: Due to the small trauma, the risk of endoscopic surgery is also small. Its safety is higher than that of open surgery.
Inexpensive: Endoscopic surgery is usually less expensive than open surgery. This is due to the shorter operating time, shorter hospital stay, and lower cost of the instruments used in endoscopic surgery.
Of course, endoscopic surgery is not suitable for all medical situations. In some cases, open surgery may be necessary. The doctor will decide whether to use endoscopic surgery or open surgery according to the specific situation of the patient.
