In open surgery, you have to make an incision covering the abdomen from one end to the other in order to reach the abdomen, while in laparoscopic-robotic (closed) technique, operations can be completed with several incisions measuring 0.5-1 inches. Thanks to its features such as 3-dimensional image, it allows even complex interventions to be performed by closed surgery method.
