Traditional thoracic surgery needs to cut off the ribs and pectoral muscles, leaving an incision of 40-50 cm. If you switch to minimally invasive surgery, you can obviously alleviate the pain of patients. Minimally invasive surgery is not only less painful, but also economical. As far as the operation itself is concerned, the cost of minimally invasive surgery is slightly higher. But it has the advantages of quick recovery, less trauma, short hospitalization time, less medication and low comprehensive cost.
Minimally invasive surgery does not require surgery, but only needs to open a small hole of 1-3 0.5- 1 cm on the patient, and the patient can complete the whole process of examination, treatment and rehabilitation within 3-5 days, without scar and pain.
Extended data:
Five advantages of minimally invasive surgery.
1, small wound: small incision in abdomen, 0.5cm to 1cm, basically leaving no scar, commonly known as "keyhole".
2, the pain is light: the patient has little pain, the operation adopts intravenous anesthesia, and the patient completes the operation in sleep.
3. Fast recovery: it greatly reduces the damage to organs and the interference to organ functions, and shortens the postoperative recovery time.
4. Short hospitalization time: Under normal circumstances, you can get out of bed within 6-8 hours after operation, 12-24 hours, eat after anal exhaust, and leave the hospital in 3-5 days, and basically recover after one week, with relatively low cost.
5, less bleeding: almost no bleeding during surgery. Minimally invasive surgery has a clearer vision and more accurate vascular management. The use of advanced hemostatic instruments such as ultrasonic scalpel is helpful to reduce the amount of bleeding.
