Most image-guided surgical procedures are minimally invasive. A field of medicine that pioneered and specializes in minimally invasive image-guided surgery is interventional radiology. A hand-held surgical probe is an essential component of any image-guided surgery system as it provides the surgeon with a map of the designated area. [8]
The small incision lenticule extraction (SMILE) procedure was first published in 2011 by Walter Sekundo et al. [7] [10] Various modifications of the procedure have since then been described which aim to reduce the duration of the procedure, reduce the risks of the lenticules being incorrectly cut or make the procedure easier to learn.

Minimally invasive surgery should have less operative trauma, other complications and adverse effects than an equivalent open surgery. It may be more or less expensive (for dental implants, a minimally invasive method reduces the cost of installed implants and shortens the implant-prosthetic rehabilitation time with four–six months [9 ...
The field of minimally invasive surgery has spawned another set of words, such as arthroscopic or laparoscopic surgery. These take the same form as above; an arthroscope is a device which allows the inside of the joint to be seen.
A myxoma is a rare benign tumor of the heart. Myxomata are the most common primary cardiac tumor in adults, and are most commonly found within the left atrium near the valve of the fossa ovalis. Myxoma may also develop in the other heart chambers. [1] The tumor is derived from multipotent mesenchymal cells. [1]

The adoption of robotic surgery has contributed to the increase in minimally invasive surgery for gynecologic disease. [65] Gynecologic procedures may take longer with robot-assisted surgery and the rate of complications may be higher, but there are not enough high-quality studies to know at the present time. [ 65 ]
A myxoma (New Latin from Greek muxa 'mucus') is a myxoid tumor of primitive connective tissue. [1] It is most commonly found in the heart (and is the most common primary tumor of the heart in adults) but can also occur in other locations.
