Intracorporeal or intracorporal is an adjective that means within (intra-) the body (corpus).[1] Its antonym is extracorporeal.
It is used frequently in medicine to describe medical procedures that occur within the body, or within a corpus, as opposed to extracorporeal procedures (e.g. extracorporeal membrane oxygenation).
In a medical or surgical context, it may refer to:
Intracorporeal anastomosis
Intracorporeal circulation
Intracorporeal energy harvesting, harvesting energy from the body, and storing it, to sustain a medical device (e.g. a pacemaker).
Intracorporeal injection
Intracorporeal microrobotics
Intracorporeal reconstruction
Intracorporeal suturing
Intracorporeal urinary diversion
Lithotripsy:
Intracorporeal electrohydraulic lithotripsy
Intracorporeal laser lithotripsy
Intracorporeal pneumatic lithotripsy
Intracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy
