MIS Quiz

What is the primary goal of minimally invasive surgery (MIS)?

• To require large incisions

• To minimize patient recovery time

• To increase the risk of infection

• To use traditional surgery techniques

Which of the following is NOT a type of minimally invasive surgery?

• Robotic-assisted surgery

• Laparoscopic surgery

• Open surgery

• Endoscopic procedures

What is a key feature of robotic-assisted surgery?

• It requires the surgeon to make larger incisions than traditional surgery.

• It is performed without any human intervention.

• It allows for greater precision and flexibility during the operation.

• It is only used for minor surgical procedures.

During laparoscopic surgery, what is used to inflate the abdomen to create space for the operation?

• Cold water

• Carbon dioxide gas

• Oxygen

• Nitrogen gas

Which instrument is commonly used to view inside the body during an endoscopic procedure?

• Scalpel

• Endoscope

• Forceps

• Catheter

What is a major advantage of minimally invasive surgery over traditional surgery?

• Longer hospital stays

• Higher risk of complications

• Smaller incisions and less scarring

• More extensive recovery time

What role does the surgeon play in robotic-assisted surgery?

• The surgeon controls the robotic instruments from a console.

• The surgeon assists the robot, which performs the surgery autonomously.

• The surgeon observes while the robot performs the surgery.

• The surgeon programs the robot before the surgery, and the robot performs the surgery independently.

Which of the following procedures is likely to be performed using laparoscopic surgery?

• Brain surgery

• Gallbladder removal

• Open-heart surgery

• Bone fracture repair

What is the primary function of a trocar in minimally invasive surgery?

• To provide a path for the insertion of other instruments

• To close incisions after surgery

• To remove large organs from the body

• To inflate the abdomen

Which of the following is a potential risk or complication of minimally invasive surgery?

• Increased scarring

• Longer hospital stays

• Infection at the trocar insertion site

• Less accurate surgery results
