Minimally Invasive Surgery in Top 5 Medical Advances of the Decade
Sirius Doctor Radio on Saturday featured a program called “The Dean’s List: A Decade in Medicine,” which 
outlined major medical breakthroughs of the past decade. Host Dr. Andrew Brotman and other physicians discussed 5 breakthroughs in depth, some of them directly related to cosmetic surgery.
Along with the drug, procedure, and medical discovery of the decade, The Surgery of the Decade was “Minimally Invasive,” including advanced techniques that utilize “smaller incisions, laparoscopes, robotics and computer-aided surgery.”
Such minimally invasive procedures would include transumbilical breast augmentation, a surgery that uses an endoscope to place breast implants through an incision in the navel.
