surgical procedures, minimally invasive (medicine) and oculovertebral dysplasia (medicine)


surgical procedures, minimally invasive (medicine)


surgical procedures, minimally invasive
Procedures that avoid use of open invasive surgery in favour of closed or local surgery. These generally involve use of laparoscopic devices and remote-control manipulation of instruments with indirect observation of the surgical field through an endoscope or similar device. With the reduced trauma associated with minimally invasive surgery, long hospital stays may be reduced with increased rates of short stay or day surgery.


oculovertebral dysplasia (medicine)


oculovertebral dysplasia
Microphthalmia, colobomas, or anophthalmia with small orbit, twisted face due to unilateral dysplasia of maxilla, macrostomia with malformed teeth and malocclusion, vertebral malformations, and branched and hypoplastic ribs.

Synonym: oculovertebral syndrome, Weyers-Thier syndrome.
