percutaneous procedures

Percutaneous procedures are minimally invasive medical techniques where doctors access internal organs or tissues through small skin punctures, often using imaging guidance like X-rays or ultrasound. Instead of large incisions, they insert thin needles, catheters, or tubes to diagnose, treat, or drain medical issues such as tumors, blood clots, or infections. These procedures typically result in less pain, shorter recovery times, and lower risk of complications compared to open surgery, making them effective options for various conditions while minimizing patient discomfort and hospital stay.
