Minimally invasive surgeries (MISs) are type of surgeries that are performed using technologically advanced devices and instruments, with smaller incisions on the patient's body. The goal for minimally invasive surgery is to reduce the risk of infection and promote rapid healing. This report studies the market for minimally invasive surgery in Latin America from three perspectives. They are, namely, the types of devices used in performing these surgeries, various types of surgeries performed in the markets of Latin America and major geographic markets of Latin America. The devices segment has been further partitioned into three main categories: surgical devices, monitoring and visualization devices and endoscopy devices. Surgical devices are further classified as ablation devices, electrosurgical devices and medical robotic systems. Similarly, the monitoring and visualization devices segment has also been divided into MRI equipment, CT scanners, X-ray devices, ultrasound equipment and other (PET and SPECT scanners and combination devices such as PET/CT, PET/MRI, SPECT/CT and SPECT/MRI).
