		He said keyhole surgery has been shown to be clinically effective with clear benefits for patients; that it causes less pain; less risk of infection and that those having this type of operation could be back at work much quicker than those having an open operation.

	Keyhole Hysterectomy Endometriosis By Mr Trehan

		For SOHO, now into its ninth year of operations, this is a relatively new event, and a direct result of the difficulties experienced with the High Gain Antenna (HGA) during the summer of 2003.
		The term "keyhole", in antenna terminology, stems from a characteristic feature of aerial navigation maps showing the coverage of, for example, a radar antenna: A circular area near the antenna is shaded due to too-short range.
		Over time, many types of CCDs (Charge-Coupled Devices) used to detect EUV radiation are degraded by contamination of heavy ions from cosmic/solar particle radiation (interfering with the doping of the chip), deposits and polymerisation of deposits on the surface and, finally, trapped charges (again interfering with the doping of the substrate).

		On occasion it may be necessary for the surgeon to revert to 'open' surgery during a keyhole surgical procedure.
		This might occur because the gall bladder is inflamed, because of anatomical abnormalities or because of bleeding.
