What are the specific risks associated with minimally invasive cancer surgeries?
Minimally invasive cancer surgeries, such as laparoscopic or robotic-assisted procedures, generally have fewer risks compared to open surgeries. However, they are not without their own set of risks. These include potential for incomplete tumor removal, which may necessitate additional surgeries or treatments. Moreover, there is a risk of intraoperative complications such as damage to surrounding tissues or organs due to the limited visibility and working space in minimally invasive techniques.
