Minimally invasive surgery certainly carries risks, and in general, minimally invasive surgery in clinical practice refers specifically to minimally invasive laparoscopic treatment. Minimally invasive surgery, compared to traditional surgery, is only less traumatic to the abdominal wall, and the trauma to the abdominal cavity is basically the same as open surgery. There are even times when minimally invasive surgery is more risky than open surgery. For example, in a patient with an inguinal hernia, if traditional open surgery is performed, the patient only needs combined lumbar and rigid anesthesia to achieve the surgical requirements. If minimally invasive surgery is performed, the patient will need to be operated under general anesthesia. If the patient has a previous combination of coronary heart disease or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, general anesthesia to establish a pneumoperitoneum has high requirements for cardiopulmonary function, and there is a risk of serious complications such as pulmonary infection and acute heart attack after surgery. Overall minimally invasive surgery is faster to recover and relatively less invasive than open surgery, but unique risks such as air embolism, carbon dioxide toxicity, and thermal injury from abdominal operations still need to be given sufficient attention by physicians.
