keyhole surgery


Explanation:
was my first thought - and gives some 5000+ hits


MIS and laparoscopic surgery are the technical terms, and 'keyhole' is the layman's term (often used by professionals too) - which corresponds closely to 'titthålsteknik' - while 'peephole' is the literal translation.
