Minimal invasive surgery in gynecology (MIS) is the use of less invasive maneuvers, as laparoscopy or hysteroscopy, to surgically treat gynecological problems.Minimal invasive procedures provide more safe and more effective alternative to conventional laparotomy by avoiding larger abdominal incisions. With the use of MISin gynecology, the patients may have:Small abdominal incisions, Less bleeding, Less postoperative pain, Short hospital stay, rapid recovery and return to work, decreased scar tissue, decreased risk of infection and many other complications.There are different types of MIS in gynecology which include: Laparoscopy, Vaginal approach, Laparoscopic-assisted vaginal approach, Robot-assisted laparoscopy, Single port surgery and Hysteroscopy. The primary objective of the WHO Surgical Safety Checklist is to support teams in ensuring that they consistently follow a few crucial safety protocols, thereby decreasing the most frequent and preventable complications compromising patients' lives and wellbeing.
