Overview

Endoscopic surgery is a minimally invasive surgical approach in which procedures are performed through small openings or natural orifices using an endoscope, a slender instrument bearing a light source and camera that projects magnified images of internal structures onto a monitor. Working under this visualization, the surgeon manipulates specialized instruments to diagnose and treat disease while avoiding the large incisions of open surgery. The technique reduces tissue trauma, blood loss, and scarring and can shorten recovery, though it demands particular skills and instrumentation. It is applied across many specialties; in otolaryngology and sinonasal surgery, endoscopes provide direct access to the nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses for the management of inflammatory disease, removal of lesions, and correction of structural problems, and analogous endoscopic methods are used elsewhere, including in the urinary tract for procedures such as intracorporeal lithotripsy. Outcomes are assessed by symptom relief and validated patient-reported measures, and decision-making weighs the suitability of an endoscopic versus open route for a given lesion or anatomy. As imaging, navigation, and instrument design advance, the scope of conditions amenable to endoscopic treatment continues to widen. Research in this area addresses surgical technique and instrumentation, the management of sinonasal and other lesions through minimally invasive access, and the functional and quality-of-life outcomes of endoscopic procedures.
