Abstract

Precision Anatomy for Minimally Invasive Surgical Procedures

Chantal Moreau

Minimally Invasive Surgery (MIS) has revolutionized modern healthcare by enabling complex procedures to be performed through small incisions with reduced tissue trauma, faster recovery and lower postoperative complications. While technological innovations such as laparoscopy, robotic assisted surgery, advanced endoscopy and image guided interventions have significantly improved surgical precision, I believe that the true foundation of successful minimally invasive surgery remains precision anatomy. A comprehensive understanding of patient specific anatomical structures, anatomical variations and spatial relationships among tissues is indispensable for achieving safe, effective and personalized surgical outcomes. As surgery continues to evolve toward precision medicine, anatomical knowledge is becoming increasingly dynamic, integrating digital technologies, computational modeling and artificial intelligence.
