What are the disadvantages of minimally invasive surgery

Minimally invasive surgery is one of the most commonly used surgical procedures in clinical practice, but minimally invasive surgery still has the following drawbacks: First, the cost of minimally invasive surgery is high. During minimally invasive surgery treatment, more disposable materials are often used, and disposable materials are often not medically reimbursable and expensive, which increases the medical burden of patients. Second, minimally invasive surgery process, the need to establish artificial pneumoperitoneum, to the abdominal cavity in and out of more carbon dioxide gas, which will make the patient’s abdominal cavity pressure significantly higher, causing a certain impact on cardiopulmonary function. Some patients suffering from coronary heart disease and emphysema may suffer from complications such as heart failure and lung infection after surgery, which may even be life-threatening if the patient’s condition is serious. Third, when minimally invasive surgery is treated for a longer period of time, carbon dioxide gas in the abdominal cavity can be absorbed into the blood, and postoperative patients can develop complications related to hypercapnia and subcutaneous emphysema.
