Convergence of Minimally Invasive and Personalized Surgery: A New Era in Patient-Centered Care
Main Article Content
Abstract
The integration of minimally invasive surgery (MIS) and personalized medicine is transforming surgical practices, offering a new paradigm in patient-centered care. Minimally invasive techniques, characterized by smaller incisions and reduced recovery times, are increasingly being combined with personalized approaches that tailor surgical treatments based on individual genetic, lifestyle, and medical factors. This convergence enables more precise, efficient, and safer surgeries, reducing complications and improving patient outcomes. Personalized surgery, leveraging genetic profiling and biomarker testing, ensures that treatments are optimized for the unique characteristics of each patient. This editorial explores how the combination of these two advanced approaches is not only reshaping surgery but also fostering a more holistic, tailored, and patient-focused healthcare model, leading to improved experiences and outcomes for patients worldwide.
