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.
If a kid has strep throat, the doctor will give him or her medicine called an antibiotic (say: an-tye-bye-AH-tik), which will kill the strep bacteria. That's good news because sometimes strep throat can get worse and cause problems with other parts of a kid's body. For example, untreated strep can cause arthritis (say: ar-THRY-tis) or heart problems from a disease called rheumatic (say: roo-MA-tick) fever.
