Svensk definition
Operationsmetoder för undvikande av invasiv kirurgi till förmån för sluten eller lokal kirurgi. De innebär bruk av laparoskopiska instrument och fjärrkontrollerade instrument med direktobservation av operationsområdet genom ett endoskop eller liknande anordning. Tack vare minskad skadeomfattning med minimalt invasiv kirurgi kan långa sjukhusvistelser undvikas.
Engelsk definition
