Toimenpiteelliset

Toimenpiteelliset is a Finnish term that translates to "interventional" or "procedural" in English. It is commonly used in a medical context to describe procedures or treatments that involve actively intervening in a patient's body to diagnose, treat, or alleviate a medical condition. These procedures are distinct from purely diagnostic imaging or conservative treatments.

In medicine, toimenpiteelliset procedures can range from minimally invasive techniques like angiography or stenting to more significant surgical interventions. They often require specialized equipment and trained medical professionals. The term emphasizes the active and hands-on nature of the medical intervention.

Examples of toimenpiteelliset procedures include cardiac catheterization, endoscopic surgery, biopsies, and the insertion of medical devices. The goal of these interventions is typically to restore function, remove diseased tissue, or improve a patient's overall health and quality of life. The specific meaning can vary slightly depending on the medical specialty, but the core concept of active intervention remains consistent.
