What is a minimally invasive visual acupotomy in traditional Chinese medicine?
With the deepening of understanding of tophi and the development of treating tophi with integrated traditional Chinese and western medicine, minimally invasive treatment of tophi with traditional Chinese medicine needle knife mirror has become an ideal method for treating tophi at present, which has the characteristics of minimally invasive operation, expanding the scope of operation, less surgical trauma and rapid postoperative recovery.

In the ultra-minimally invasive needle knife surgery, the doctor first performs local anesthesia near the joint where the tophus is formed, then opens a small hole like a bean at the joint, and then puts the camera into the joint cavity through the small hole, and the tophus in the joint cavity can be clearly observed under the small hole.

Then the surgical instruments also extend into the joint cavity from the small hole to scrape off the tophus to the maximum extent, and then rinse it repeatedly with physiological saline to quickly remove the huge tophus and urate crystals deposited in the joint cavity.

Characteristics of minimally invasive visual acupotomy in traditional Chinese medicine

One. minimally invasive surgery

In the treatment of traditional Chinese medicine, the incision is less than 4mm, and at most two surgical channels are opened, sometimes one channel can complete the whole diagnosis and treatment process; During the treatment, the adhesion can be relieved, inflammation can be eliminated, and the function can be restored by peeling and dredging joints, diseased tissues and washing joint cavities, and functional exercise can be carried out the next day after operation.

Two. Visual operation

Needle-knife technology uses imaging equipment to perform visual surgery, and uses modern high-definition endoscopic imaging technology to enlarge tissue lesions to tiny parts, which makes the surgical field of vision clear, reduces the treatment risk and improves the success rate. The treatment site is deep.

Three. Simplify operation

Local infiltration anesthesia is safe, and the surgical channel is compatible with various instruments. In one channel, various operations such as examination, irrigation, injection, implantation and ablation can be performed, which simplifies complicated operations.

Four. Safe and reliable

It can be performed under local anesthesia without tourniquet. During treatment, normal saline can be injected into the joint through the pipeline to enlarge the joint cavity and protect the autoimmune function to the maximum extent. Small surgical approach, small incision, small trauma and low infection rate; The whole operation process was carried out in aseptic environment, which played a good role in inhibiting and diluting the growth of microorganisms.

Five. Wide treatment range and quick effect.

Suitable for most intractable arthritis, soft tissue swelling and pain, rheumatic immune diseases. It can not only treat rheumatic immune diseases such as articular cartilage, synovium and bursa of fabricius, but also treat special cavity diseases such as elbow and carpal tunnel. When refractory rheumatic immune diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis, systemic lupus erythematosus and ankylosing spondylitis appear intractable swelling and pain of local joints and tendons, local dredging and desquamation treatment can be carried out, which can often eliminate symptoms in a short time, quickly relieve pain and shorten the course of disease with minimally invasive needle knife mirror washing and drug placement.

Six. Small side effects and quick recovery.

There was almost no bleeding during the treatment. 12- within 24 hours after treatment, severe pain may appear and gradually disappear. After 24 hours, functional recovery activities can be carried out.

Seven. Short hospitalization time, short operation time and low cost. The average hospitalization time is 3-5 days, and each operation lasts about 30 minutes.
