Medicine is not standing still. Every year, doctors save more lives from serious diseases, and the treatment process itself is becoming less aggressive and more comfortable for the patient. More than 25 years ago, a true 'endoscopic' revolution occurred in surgery. Instead of large incisions to gain access to the surgical site, doctors began to make small punctures through which necessary surgical instruments can be introduced into the body.
Israel has become one of the first countries where surgeons began to actively use endoscopic technologies. Endoscopic surgery in Israel is a minimally invasive intervention, during which there is practically no blood loss. After endoscopic surgery in Israel, the patient fully recovers in just a few days and can return to their usual rhythm of life. For example, an endoscopic hernia operation in Israel lasts no more than an hour. After it, the patient can be discharged from the clinic the very next day. Endoscopic brain surgery in Israel allows, in most cases, to avoid opening the skull – a major operation after which the patient needs a long recovery period.
In some cases, endoscopic surgery in Israel does not even require punctures or incisions. For example, endoscopic surgeries for the removal of pituitary tumours in Israel are performed through the paranasal sinuses and nasal passages.
Application of Endoscopic Surgery in Israel
At Top Ihilov, more than 85% of all surgeries are performed endoscopically. This significantly reduces the duration of the surgery, the patient's stay in the operating room, and in the hospital.
Most Popular Endoscopic Surgeries in Israel
- Surgeries on the abdominal organs. Thousands of endoscopic interventions for gallbladder removal, as well as in intestinal and stomach surgery, are performed annually at Top Ihilov.
- Surgeries of the female reproductive system. Diseases of the fallopian tubes, endometriosis, adhesions, and other diseases of the female reproductive system are treated with endoscopic interventions. Israeli doctors often encounter ovarian cysts in women. Endoscopic surgery for cyst removal in Israel allows for a non-traumatic approach to this pathology while preserving the woman's reproductive function.
- Urological surgeries. Endoscopic technologies are widely used in urological practice, particularly for diseases of the prostate, bladder, kidney stones, strictures of the urethra, and cancers of the urogenital system.

Endoscopic surgery in Israel for the removal of pathological joint elements may be accompanied by the implantation of artificial anatomical structures (for example, artificial joints) that perform the same functions.
