väheinvasiivseid

väheinvasiivseid is an Estonian adjective meaning minimally invasive. It is used to describe medical procedures or treatments that require small incisions or no incisions at all, resulting in less tissue damage, pain, and a quicker recovery time compared to traditional, more invasive methods.

Minimally invasive techniques have become increasingly prevalent in various fields of medicine, including surgery, cardiology, and diagnostics. Examples include laparoscopic surgery, where instruments and a camera are inserted through tiny cuts, and angioplasty, which uses a catheter to open blocked arteries. The goal of these approaches is to achieve therapeutic or diagnostic results while minimizing trauma to the patient's body.

The benefits of väheinvasiivseid procedures are numerous. Patients typically experience less pain post-operatively, require shorter hospital stays, and can return to their normal activities sooner. Scarring is also generally less noticeable. While these techniques offer significant advantages, they are not suitable for all conditions and require specialized training and equipment for medical professionals. The development and refinement of väheinvasiivseid methods continue to advance medical care.
