Abstract

An operation is defined as a medical procedure featuring bloody or non-bloody separation of tissue. Consequently, diagnostic endoscopy meets the criteria of this definition when biopsies are obtained.

We propose, instead, that such interventions be considered under the heading of therapeutic endoscopy.
