Restraining Factors

The growing popularity of minimally invasive surgeries is expected to slow market revenue growth. Minimally invasive procedures are popular for several reasons, including smaller incisions, less scarring, less blood loss, and other benefits. Many surgeons with extensive minimally invasive surgery training are qualified to discuss the techniques they recommended. Every minimally invasive surgery requires putting the patient to sleep with a general anesthetic. Because minimally invasive surgeries do not involve large incisions, surgical sutures are rarely used.
