Invasive procedure

From WikiMD.com - Food, Medicine & Wellness Encyclopedia

Invasive procedure is a medical procedure that invades (enters) the body, usually by cutting or puncturing the skin or by inserting instruments into the body.

Overview[edit | edit source]

An invasive procedure can be performed for various reasons such as diagnosis, treatment, or prevention of a disease. These procedures can be broadly classified into two types: surgical invasive procedures and non-surgical invasive procedures. Surgical invasive procedures involve a cut or incision on the body, while non-surgical invasive procedures involve the insertion of an instrument or device into the body through a natural opening or a small incision.

Types of Invasive Procedures[edit | edit source]

Surgical Invasive Procedures[edit | edit source]

Surgical invasive procedures include operations like appendectomy, cesarean section, and heart bypass surgery. These procedures are usually performed in a hospital setting under general or local anesthesia.

Non-Surgical Invasive Procedures[edit | edit source]

Non-surgical invasive procedures include procedures like colonoscopy, endoscopy, and angioplasty. These procedures are usually performed in a clinic or hospital setting under local anesthesia.

Risks and Complications[edit | edit source]

Like any medical procedure, invasive procedures come with their own set of risks and complications. These can include infection, bleeding, damage to nearby structures, and adverse reactions to anesthesia. The risk of complications can be minimized by following proper preoperative and postoperative care.
