Minimally Invasive Surgery | Advantages for Pediatric Patients

Come inside the operating room with Dr. Karen Diefenbach as she performs high-level, advanced surgical procedures using the most advanced minimally invasive technology. Minimally invasive surgery (MIS) is performed through small incisions using miniaturized surgical tools and cameras. Compared to traditional open surgery, where an incision is made large enough to access the internal organs, minimally invasive techniques only require two to three small incisions. For patients, this innovative approach to care can mean shorter hospital stays, less pain, quicker recovery time and smaller scars.

Due to the specialized and in-depth training our surgeons undergo, Nationwide Children’s is able to offer minimally invasive techniques for nearly all routine procedures and, unlike many other pediatric institutions, even the most complex procedures.
