What is minimally invasive surgery?

Minimally invasive surgery is surgery with minimal trauma. Suitable for surgeries using modern medical equipment such as laparoscopy and thoracoscopy and related equipment. Early minimally invasive surgery refers to a new technology that performs surgery in the human body through endoscopes such as laparoscopy and thoracoscopy.

Compared with traditional surgery, minimally invasive surgery has five major advantages:

1. Small incision: a tiny incision in the abdomen, 0.5cm to 1cm, leaving basically no scars, and has the effect of a "keyhole"

2. Light pain: The patient feels little pain, intravenous anesthesia is used during the operation, and the operation is completed while the patient is asleep.

3. Fast recovery: greatly reducing damage to organs and interference with organ functions, shortening postoperative recovery time.

4. Short hospitalization time: Under normal circumstances, you can get out of bed 6-8 hours after the operation, you can eat after 12-24 hours of anal exhaust, you can be discharged from the hospital in 3-5 days, and you can basically recover after a week, and the cost is relatively reduce.

5. Less bleeding: There is almost no bleeding during the operation. Minimally invasive surgery has a clearer field of view and more precise blood vessel treatment. In addition, the use of advanced hemostatic devices such as ultrasonic scalpel can help reduce the amount of bleeding.
