Frequently Asked Questions

A medical speciality that uses imaging such as ultrasound, X-ray and CT to guide minimally invasive procedures that diagnose and treat disease in many parts of the body.

Most procedures are done through a pinhole, usually under local anaesthesia, without a large incision. This generally means less pain and a shorter recovery.

Varicose veins, blocked leg arteries, diabetic foot, DVT, uterine fibroids, thyroid nodules, varicocele, dialysis fistula problems, certain strokes, internal bleeding, some tumours and several pain conditions. Image-guided biopsies and drainages are also done.

Every procedure has some risk. Because the access is very small, complications such as infection and bleeding are generally less common than with open surgery. Your specific risks are discussed before any procedure.

Many procedures are day-care and you go home the same day. Some need a short stay.
