Study Notes
Definition and Classification
- Invasive procedures: medical interventions that involve the insertion of instruments or devices into the body through the skin or a body cavity.
- Classified into three categories:
- Minimally invasive: procedures that use small incisions or natural orifices to access the body, e.g., laparoscopic surgery, endoscopy.
- Semi-invasive: procedures that involve a combination of open and closed techniques, e.g., percutaneous nephrolithotomy.
- Open invasive: procedures that require a large incision to access the body, e.g., traditional surgical procedures.
Examples of Invasive Procedures
- Surgical procedures:
- Laparoscopic surgery
- Open-heart surgery
- Neurosurgery
- Organ transplantation
- Diagnostic procedures:
- Endoscopy
- Colonoscopy
- Bronchoscopy
- Biopsy
- Therapeutic procedures:
- Angioplasty
- Stenting
- Radiofrequency ablation
- Cryotherapy
Risks and Complications
- Infection
- Bleeding
- Organ damage
- Adverse reaction to anesthesia
- Blood clots
- Scarring
- Pain
Benefits
- Improved diagnostic accuracy
- Effective treatment of various diseases and conditions
- Reduced recovery time and hospital stay
- Minimally invasive procedures offer less pain and scarring
- Improved patient outcomes and quality of life
