Percutaneous procedures are minimally invasive procedures in which access to the body is obtained through a small incision or needle puncture rather than by more invasive surgical techniques. These procedures are commonly used in various medical fields, including cardiology, radiology, and orthopedics. The main advantage of percutaneous procedures is that they typically result in less pain, scarring, and recovery time for the patient compared to traditional open surgery. Some common percutaneous procedures include percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA) for treating coronary artery disease, percutaneous nephrolithotomy for removing kidney stones, and percutaneous vertebroplasty for treating spinal fractures. Overall, percutaneous procedures offer a less invasive alternative to surgery with fewer risks and complications for the patient.
