Abstract
The past decade has seen a dramatic change in the healthcare environment: a shift from fees for scan services to a managed care industry. As a consequence, the number of minimally invasive, interventional procedures on an outpatient basis is steadily increasing. While the interest in tissue-conserving methods with the associated low number of complications was dominant in the past, the focus today is on improving the cost-effectiveness of medical services by shorter hospitalization and faster recuperation.
