Minimally invasive is the path from invasive to non-invasive treatment in surgery, and is the realm pursued by today’s surgical science, which has traditionally developed along the direction of restoring and maintaining human physiological functions. Since the late 20th century, the concept of reducing trauma and minimally invasive surgery has sprung up in all aspects of surgery, and the implementation of minimally invasive surgery and minimally invasive surgery is of vital interest to millions of surgical patients. In the 21st century, the development of science and technology has the potential to bring traditional surgery into a new realm. Minimally invasive surgery should include: one is the improvement of surgical tools, methods and techniques, so that medical treatment to minimize the damage to patients; the second is to make the body’s response to trauma tends to “miniaturize”. The purpose is to maintain the body’s defense mechanism and minimize the adverse reactions of the body. Promote repair and healing. Minimally invasive surgery also represents the humanistic culture, which is a concrete embodiment of the new medical model of “bio-social-psychological”. Minimally invasive surgery is safe, effective, with little damage and quick recovery, and can meet the needs and interests of the majority of patients. So what diseases can be treated with minimally invasive treatment? In other words, almost all chest surgeries that can be performed with traditional methods can be treated with minimally invasive surgery. Some of them can even be done without incisions on the chest, reducing blood transfusion or no blood transfusion, shortening operation time, fast recovery and short hospital stay. Minimally invasive treatment requires high-tech advanced equipment and the fine operation of experienced surgeons, both of which are indispensable. Since minimally invasive treatment is performed under the premise of traditional surgical principles, not only is the efficacy satisfactory, but also because of its small incision, light trauma, less pain and fast recovery. Like a wave sweeping through the global surgical community, it has penetrated into various clinical specialties such as general surgery, cardiac surgery and thoracic surgery, shaking and gradually replacing the classical traditional surgical methods that have been in use for more than a hundred years. Today, minimally invasive surgery has not only triggered a new technological revolution in the field of surgery, but is also creating a new era of robotic surgery by combining automated mechanical technology, telecommunication and computer technology! On September 7, 2001, a surgeon in New York City, USA, watched a television screen manipulate a robotic hand to perform a successful operation on a 68-year-old female patient remotely via a high-speed fiber optic cable across the Atlantic Ocean. This means that with the development of modern remote communication technology and intelligent engineering, the dream of a patient in any corner of the world to receive surgical treatment by any of the world’s leading experts will become possible. The development of technology, the improvement of operating tools, and the improvement of surgeons’ surgical skills have only one goal: to make the patient the biggest beneficiary.
