Hello, I’m Dr. Derek Snook.
Just to say that an operation is minimally invasive doesn’t necessarily mean that the ultimate outcome is better, but it’s that early recovery that we think is better or improved by a minimally invasive operation.
Therefore, we always try and strive to do the most minimally invasive operation possible. But there are times when more traditional methods are the safest and most beneficial.
