New developments in minimally invasive surgery should result in operations that are even easier on the patient and the treatment of a wider range of diseases. In the future, minimally invasive surgery will: - Use even smaller incisions that heal faster with almost invisible scars. The standard laparoscope is 10mm and 5mm in diameter. Newer micro-laparoscopes and instruments are 3mm in diameter so that some procedures can be performed through smaller cuts.
