Laparoscopy â surgery done through one or more small incisions, using small tubes and tiny video cameras and surgical instruments â was one of the first types of minimally invasive surgery. Another type of minimally invasive surgery is robotic surgery.It provides a magnified, 3-D view of the surgical site, which gives the surgeon great precision, flexibility and control. Continual innovations in minimally invasive surgery make it useful for an ever-expanding list of procedures.t provides a magnified, 3-D view of the surgical site, which gives the surgeon great precision, flexibility and control.

Streptococcal infections are any type of infection caused by the streptococcus (strep) group of bacteria. There are many different types of Streptococci bacteria, and infections vary in severity from mild throat infections to life-threatening infections of the blood or organs. Most streptococcal infections can be treated with antibiotics.
These bacterial organisms are often found in the throat or on the skin, and are responsible for other illnesses as well, such as impetigo (a skin infection). Some individuals may carry Group A Streptococcus in the throat or on the skin and not exhibit any signs or symptoms of disease (asymptomatic). Strep throat is most common in school-aged children and teens, with a peak incidence between 5 to 15 years of age.
