There was a dark chapter in the history of the profession (more so in the US in the 80's) when MIS (minimally invasive/incision surgery) was blindly and widely adopted and lead to some pretty disastrous outcomes. In the UK, it was seen as a shortcut to doing surgery without completing the appropriate surgical qualification. In continental Europe, they appeared oblivious to the problems in the USA and have been doing it successfully for years. However, many want to put that chapter behind us and confine it to the history books as a footnote. However, it was still being practiced on the fringe in many countries.

Going back, we have had some threads on the topic:
Debate re minimal invasive surgery
Minimal Invasive Surgery cadaver training
Percutaneous minimally invasive surgery for HV
The College of Minimal Invasive Foot & Ankle Surgery
Lesser toe surgery
In those threads you see the issues I mentioned above coming through.
Having said that, I have been noticing more conference presentations, more research being published and more discussion of MIS ..
....is it making a comeback into the mainstream?
