Traditional open surgery:
Because the abdominal wall has to make a large incision to expose the surgical field, and intraoperative pulling hooks are also used to expose in order to complete the surgery, so the trauma and disturbance to the patient’s internal organs will be considerable, and the patient’s postoperative recovery time is longer and slower, and the patient has significant postoperative pain. The long hospitalization time increases the treatment cost. Hou Dongsheng, Minimally Invasive General Surgery Department, The First Hospital of Guangzhou Medical University
Minimally invasive laparoscopic surgery:
Since the images of the surgical field are transmitted through a very small surgical channel, combined with a high-definition camera system, the laparoscopic surgeon can operate through a monitor (TV), with the main surgeon and assistant working closely together. The laparoscope has a magnifying effect allowing a clear view of the surgical site, allowing complex and delicate procedures to be performed with a solid foundation in surgical anatomy and technique and a good surgical team. Such complex surgeries as common bile duct exploration, lobectomy or even hemihepatectomy, resection and radical treatment of gastrointestinal tumors, splenectomy, dissection of portal hypertension, resection of pancreatic tumors or resection of pancreaticoduodenum, and anastomosis of common bile duct jejunum can also be completed successfully. The effect of surgery performed by skilled and experienced laparoscopic surgeons can not only achieve the effect required by traditional surgery, but can even surpass the therapeutic effect of traditional surgery, such as lymphatic dissection of malignant tumors to the effect of radical cure, Hou Dongsheng, Department of General, Gastrointestinal Surgery, The First Affiliated Hospital of Guangzhou Medical College
