Small donations are very
much appreciated to help support Surface Hippy.

1. If your BMI [(weight (in kg) / height (in m)) multiplied by 2] is less than 25, then the standard incision is so small that any benefit from a "mini incision" is questionable. 2. If your BMI is 25 or more (getting more obese), and your hip is stiff, the efficacy of the "mini incision" has not been demonstrated.

Basically, if you want a small incision, you need to be thin.
 

What is the advantage of minimally invasive surgery?

The advantage is less postoperative pain and a better cosmetic result as well as a more rapid healing time. We can now discharge most patients from the hospital within one to two days after surgery using these techniques.
