Advances in Anesthetic Techniques for Minimally Invasive Surgeries: A Path Toward Faster Recovery

Abstract

Minimally invasive surgeries (MIS) have transformed modern surgical care by reducing trauma, shortening hospital stays, and promoting faster recovery. These changes require anesthetic techniques that are safe, flexible, and efficient. Advances such as total intravenous anesthesia (TIVA), regional blocks, multimodal pain control, and enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) protocols have improved patient outcomes. This paper reviews the evolution of anesthetic methods in MIS, their clinical advantages, and the technologies shaping the future of anesthesia.
