    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laparoscopy

    For these reasons, minimally invasive surgery has emerged as a highly competitive new sub-specialty within various fields of surgery. Surgical residents who wish to focus on this area of surgery gain additional laparoscopic surgery training during one or two years of fellowship after completing their basic surgical residency.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minimally_invasive_procedure

    Arthroscopic surgery. Minimally invasive procedures were pioneered by interventional radiologists who had first introduced angioplasty and the catheter-delivered stent.Many other minimally invasive procedures have followed where images of all parts of the body can be obtained and used to direct interventional instruments by way of catheters (needles and fine tubes), so that many conditions ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image-guided_surgery

    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 laser leaves a particularly "light" surgical foot print in the patient's throat tissues. This technique helps give the patient as much speech and swallowing function as possible after surgery. TLM is also, by published evidence, the best technique for discovering unknown primary tumors of the throat and larynx area, and removing them.

  8. Single-port laparoscopy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Single-port_laparoscopy

    Single-port laparoscopy (SPL) is a recently developed technique in laparoscopic surgery. It is a minimally invasive surgical procedure in which the surgeon operates almost exclusively through a single entry point, typically the patient's navel. Unlike a traditional multi-port laparoscopic approach, SPL leaves only a single small scar.

  9. Computer-assisted surgery - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer-assisted_surgery

    With the advent of computer-assisted surgery, great progresses have been made in general surgery towards minimal invasive approaches. Laparoscopy in abdominal and gynecologic surgery is one of the beneficiaries, allowing surgical robots to perform routine operations, like cholecystectomies, or even hysterectomies.
