Super minimally invasive surgery: New directions and new goals

Abstract

The advancement of medicine is changing with each passing day, and the surgical mode is constantly bringing forth the new. At present, the surgical mode is developing from traditional open surgery and minimally invasive surgery (MIS) to super minimally invasive surgery (SMIS). Treatment concept of traditional surgery is based on the removal of the lesions and partial or complete involved organs, and the reconstruction of normal anatomical structure is bound to have an important negative impact on human body. Under the guidance of SMIS, the lesions are removed while the integrity of organ anatomy is preserved, so as to achieve the goal of "curing the disease and recovering as before". SMIS points out the direction for the development of surgery in the future.
