Interventional surgery refers to a subspecialty within surgery that utilizes minimally invasive techniques to diagnose and treat diseases. It leverages advanced imaging technologies, such as fluoroscopy, ultrasound, or CT scans, to guide instruments and devices through small incisions or natural body openings. This approach contrasts with traditional open surgery, which typically involves larger incisions and a more extensive surgical field.

The primary goal of interventional surgery is to achieve therapeutic outcomes with reduced patient trauma, shorter recovery times, and less pain compared to conventional surgical methods. Procedures can range from angioplasty and stenting to repair aneurysms, remove tumors, drain fluid collections, or place devices like pacemakers. Interventional surgeons often work collaboratively with other medical specialists, including radiologists, cardiologists, and oncologists, to provide comprehensive patient care. The development of new tools and technologies continues to expand the scope and applicability of interventional surgical techniques across a wide array of medical conditions.
