Is interventional radiology painful?

Most procedures are performed under local anaesthesia with mild sedation, so discomfort is minimal for most patients.

How long does a procedure take?

This varies by procedure — your specialist will walk you through the expected time during consultation.

Will I need to stay overnight?

Many image-guided procedures are day-care, but this depends on the specific procedure and your condition.

Interventional Radiology

Image-guided treatment through a pinhole, not an incision.

What it is

Interventional radiology uses real-time imaging — X-ray, ultrasound, or CT — to guide fine instruments to the exact site of a condition through a small skin puncture, avoiding the need for a large surgical incision.

Conditions we treat

Vascular conditionsAbscess or fluid collections needing drainageConditions requiring image-guided biopsy

What to expect

01Before

Consultation, imaging review, and a discussion of whether an image-guided approach suits your condition.

02During

A fine instrument is guided to the target site under live imaging, through a small skin puncture.

03After

Most patients rest briefly on-site before discharge, with a follow-up to confirm recovery.

Recovery

Recovery is typically faster than open surgery, often within days rather than weeks — the exact timeline depends on the specific procedure and your condition.
