How Does Nanotechnology Assist in Minimally Invasive Surgeries?
Nanotechnology assists MIS through several mechanisms:
Nanoscale Instruments: Tools like nanoscale scalpels and forceps are used for precise tissue manipulation. Nanorobots: These are tiny robots that can navigate through the bloodstream to perform tasks such as clearing blockages or delivering drugs directly to target sites. Nanocarriers: These are used for targeted drug delivery, reducing side effects and improving the efficacy of therapeutic agents. Imaging: Advanced imaging techniques employing nanoparticles enhance the visualization of tissues, making it easier for surgeons to operate with precision.
