endosurgery
Surgery through scopes
Endosurgery is surgery performed through small incisions using an endoscope—a thin tube with a camera and light that allows the surgeon to see inside the body without opening it fully.
The term covers procedures like laparoscopy and arthroscopy: Endosurgery has reduced recovery times for many common operations.
Also called minimally invasive surgery.
