There are similar surgical procedures as far as instrumentation, supplies, patient positioning, and operative sequence. This is referred to as the Co-Related Procedures Concept. The purpose of using the Co-Related Procedures Concept is to allow the instructor time to teach surgical procedures and avoid repetition. As with co-related procedures, the concept of minimally invasive surgery (MIS) as an approach is used and describes any surgical approach other than open. Robotic-assisted and endoscopic procedures are categorized as MIS. Interventional radiology is a medical subspecialty that refers to a range of techniques utilizing radiologic image guidance and minimally invasive procedures to diagnose and treat diseases in several surgical specialties.
