1.What is lumpectomy minimally invasive surgery? Laparoscopic minimally invasive surgery is a new surgical high-tech technology developed in recent years, also known as micro-trauma surgery, which is a major breakthrough result of combining modern acousto-optical high-tech and traditional surgery. It only inserts several 0.5~1.0 cm thin cannulae into the abdominal wall, and a laparoscope with a miniature camera is inserted into the cannulae to magnify the image of the abdominal cavity and display it clearly on the TV screen. This allows the surgery to be completed without the need for a dissection. Minimally invasive laparoscopic surgery and traditional open surgery, the same surgical effect, and has obvious advantages, such as it is less traumatic to the patient, less gastrointestinal tract interference, less bleeding, mild post-operative pain, fast post-operative recovery, generally the same day after surgery can get out of bed and eat a small amount of soup, 2 to 4 days can be discharged, less complications, less post-operative intestinal adhesions, small abdominal wall scars. 2.Is lumpectomy minimally invasive surgery safe? Patients are most concerned about the safety of new medical technology, and laparoscopic minimally invasive surgery has completed a large number of cases, among which laparoscopic cholecystectomy has become the gold standard for the surgical treatment of gallbladder disease. In recent years, laparoscopic minimally invasive surgical approaches have been developed, and large-scale case comparisons have shown no significant differences in safety between laparoscopic minimally invasive surgery and traditional open surgery. Specifically for each procedure, minimally invasive laparoscopic surgery is less invasive and less disruptive to the patient, and the patient can easily tolerate the procedure. Minimally invasive laparoscopic surgery is performed under a monitor, which has a magnifying effect on the television image, resulting in clearer tissue resolution and more delicate surgical operations. The ultrasonic knife and high-frequency electric knife used in minimally invasive laparoscopic surgery can reduce intraoperative bleeding. At the same time, laparoscopic minimally invasive surgeons generally require more than 10 years of experience in general surgery, so they can handle various problems that arise during surgery with ease. Beijing Jishuitan Hospital laparoscopic minimally invasive surgery is one of the earliest and fully functional minimally invasive surgery departments in China. 3.What is the effect of lumpectomy minimally invasive surgery? Compared with traditional open surgery, laparoscopic minimally invasive surgery has the same surgical effect, and sometimes other diseases in the abdominal cavity can be detected and treated together without opening another incision. Therefore, in general, minimally invasive lumpectomy is better than traditional open surgery. 4.What are the advantages of minimally invasive laparoscopic surgery? Compared with traditional open surgery, lumpectomy minimally invasive surgery is less traumatic to the patient, less disturbance to the gastrointestinal tract, less bleeding, basically no blood transfusion, less pain after surgery, quicker recovery of the patient after surgery, small scar of the incision, less intestinal adhesion after surgery, and generally no sequelae. 5.Why can minimally invasive lumpectomy reduce the pain of the patient’s incision? With the continuous improvement of living standards, people have higher and higher requirements for “painless” medical diagnosis and treatment. 6.What is the cost of minimally invasive lumpectomy? The general cost of lumpectomy is 1/5-1/3 higher than that of similar open surgery, which is mainly related to the fact that most of the instruments required for lumpectomy are imported, but the total cost of lumpectomy is not significantly higher because of less medication and shorter hospital stay. 7.Does minimally invasive lumpectomy require specialized personnel to perform? Minimally invasive lumpectomy is a product of the combination of surgery and modern high technology, and minimally invasive lumpectomy surgeons need to undergo a long period of professional training in order to have complete safety. It is recommended to choose a professional lumpectomy surgeon to perform the surgery. 8.What diseases are suitable for minimally invasive surgery? For patients with liver tumors, gallbladder stones, bile duct stones, pancreatic tumors, spleen diseases, gastrocolic and rectal tumors, abdominal wall hernia, acute and chronic appendicitis, abdominal adhesions, bariatric surgery and diabetic surgery, laparoscopic minimally invasive surgery is the first choice because laparoscopic minimally invasive surgery for the above diseases has been studied in a large number of cases to ensure maximum reduce trauma and promote postoperative recovery. Because of the development of minimally invasive surgical techniques and improvements in minimally invasive instruments, many previously impossible surgeries can be performed laparoscopically. For example, thyroid surgery can be done through a small hole in the areola or armpit to complete the neck surgery, achieving a cosmetic result with no incision and no scar on the neck. So, at present, the types of lumpectomy cover almost every field of general surgery.
