Concept renovation: a new perspective of minimally invasive surgery

The development and innovation of laparoscopic vision platform has promoted the innovation of surgical concept and technology from laparotomy to minimally invasive surgery From the initial use of reflector device with candlelight to observe the interior of the human body cavity, to the high-definition and ultra-high-definition laparoscopic vision system, from laparoscopic cholecystectomy, to the popularization and promotion of various laparoscopic surgery for malignant tumor, surgery has undergone great changes due to minimally invasive technology In the new era, the application of three-dimensional and 4K laparoscope brings a new perspective to minimally invasive surgery, so as to promote the development of surgery in the direction of accurate anatomy and functional protection In the future, stimulated by concept renovation in post-epidemic era of COVID-19, virtual reality technology and robotic surgery supported by the fifth generation wireless systems, as well as tele-surgery and distance training and teaching based on it, will become a new perspective for the development of minimally invasive surgery Copyright © 2020 by the Chinese Medical Association
