Laparoscopic surgery is a newly developed minimally invasive approach and an inevitable trend in the development of future surgical approaches. With the rapid advances in industrial manufacturing technology and the increasing skill of physicians, many of the open surgeries of the past have now been replaced by intracavitary surgery, greatly increasing the surgical options available. The laparoscopic approach involves making three small 1 cm incisions in the patient’s lower back and inserting a tube-like working channel called a “trocar” through which all subsequent operations are performed; the same steps as in open surgery are completed with specially designed extended surgical instruments under television surveillance, achieving the same surgical results.
The advantages of laparoscopic surgery are very obvious after understanding.
1.Multi-angle “inspection”, the effect is intuitive
The laparoscope can examine the abdominal organs from different angles and directions without involving them, and can even see some very deep locations to achieve the effect of intuitive examination, no leakage and no misdiagnosis.
2.Fast recovery
The lumpectomy is performed in a closed pelvic and abdominal cavity, with little interference in the internal environment. The trauma suffered by the patient is much smaller than that of open surgery, and the patient recovers quickly after surgery without complications and sequelae.
3.Short hospitalization time
The operation is operated by professional physicians, and the treatment can be completed in a short time without affecting the normal physiological function, and the patient can resume normal work and life after the operation.
4.Good abdominal beauty effect
Traditional surgery scars are in long lines, but lumpectomy does not leave scars, which is suitable for women’s beauty needs.
5.Reduce the burden of patients
The surgery is minimally invasive, with less medication, lower cost, faster recovery and no hospitalization, which reduces the burden of patients.
Laparoscopic urological surgery can currently be used in the following urological treatments.
1, adrenal surgery: it is mainly suitable for benign adrenal tumors, including primary aldosterone adenoma, cortisol adenoma, Cushing’s syndrome, pheochromocytoma, etc. At present, adrenal surgery has become the gold standard of urological laparoscopic surgery.
2.Nephrectomy: suitable for all kinds of kidney tumors, atrophic kidney, tuberculous kidney, non-functional kidney with huge hydronephrosis
3.Partial nephrectomy: suitable for early kidney cancer, benign kidney tumor, etc.
4.Full-length nephrectomy and ureterectomy: suitable for renal pelvis tumor and ureteral tumor, upper urinary tract tumor after kidney transplantation, etc.
5.Kidney cyst: laparoscopic decompression can be performed, which has a lower recurrence rate than previous puncture and aspiration methods or open surgery, is less traumatic and has a shorter hospital stay, and is the standard procedure.
6.Ureteral stones: For complex upper and middle ureteral stones or renal pelvic stones, laparoscopic lithotomy can be used for cases that are not suitable for extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy or holmium laser lithotripsy under ureteroscopy, and the stone removal rate can reach 100%.
7.Pelvic ureteroplasty: suitable for congenital pelvic ureteral junction stenosis with hydronephrosis, etc.
8.Radical resection of prostate cancer: suitable for early prostate cancer.
9.Total cystectomy: suitable for infiltrative bladder tumor, etc.
10.Spermatic cord vein ligation: suitable for male infertility caused by varicocele.
11.Other surgeries: posterior vena cava ureteroplasty, retroperitoneal tumor resection, retroperitoneal lymph node dissection, renal rupture nephrectomy.
What is good to eat after laparoscopic surgery?
Experts suggest that usually after laparoscopic surgery, you can start to eat liquid food (e.g., thin rice) and resume normal diet the next day, because the wound healing needs to use protein, so you should take high protein food (e.g., fish, lean meat, eggs, etc.) to accelerate the wound healing, and avoid stimulating food to avoid stimulating gastric acid secretion to cause gastrointestinal discomfort (e.g., chili, tobacco, oil, coffee). cigarettes, oil, coffee).
Yes, the biggest difference between post-laparoscopic surgery and general open surgery is that because carbon dioxide needs to be instilled during the surgery to create a pneumoperitoneum to facilitate the operation, so there is easily residual carbon dioxide gas in the abdomen after the surgery. This will reduce the discomfort caused by postoperative bloating.
