Every year, 1.5 million lives are lost due to the lack of access to essential surgery; an epidemic that claims as many lives as HIV, malaria, multi-drug resistant TB, and complications from pregnancy combined. The time for change is now, and minimally invasive surgery (MIS) is the key to unlocking safer surgery for all. This episode explores how MIS, particularly laparoscopy, has the potential to revolutionize access to safe surgery worldwide.
