A clear definition of invasive procedures has several benefits. It would, (1) inform the selection of relevant methods for study design, (2) streamline evidence synthesis and (3) improve the accuracy of categorisation and tracking of research activity.
The definition has three key components: (1) method of access to the body, (2) instrumentation and (3) requirement for operator skill. It therefore encapsulates all types of invasive procedure regardless of the method of access to the body (incision, natural orifice or percutane.

An invasive disease is one that spreads to surrounding tissues. An invasive procedure is one in which the body is "invaded", or entered by a needle, tube, device, or scope.

A medical intervention is invasive if and only if it involves either breaking the skin (henceforth sometimes ‘incision’) or inserting an object into the body (‘insertion’). In some cases, this account is adopted implicitly.
