Minimally invasive surgery is now widely used in clinical practice, and recovery is faster compared to traditional open surgery. However, the recovery time varies for different types of surgery and is related to the patient’s own physical condition and disease. Generally, smaller minimally invasive surgeries can be discharged from the hospital in 1-2 days after surgery. Most of the slightly more complicated minimally invasive surgeries need to recover within 3-5 days, for example, abdominal minimally invasive surgeries require lying down within 6 hours after surgery, and generally can be fully recovered within 3-5 days. For some malignant tumors or patients with poor physical condition, old age and slow recovery, it may take 1 month or even longer to recover. Minimally invasive surgery has a wide range of application and is mainly used clinically to treat benign tumors, especially for benign diseases such as lipomas, fibroids, breast cysts, breast lumps, etc. Minimally invasive surgery can bring patients ideal treatment results with tiny incisions. Minimally invasive surgery usually does not conflict with other clinical treatments such as chemotherapy and physical therapy. Whether it is treated alone or together with other therapies for comprehensive treatment, clinicians need to make a reasonable choice after weighing the different degrees of the disease, clinical manifestations and patient’s physical signs. In addition, minimally invasive postoperative care is also quite important. Postoperative diet is recommended to be light, avoid spicy and greasy food stimulation, and avoid strenuous activities and staying up late to avoid prolonging the recovery time.
