Minimally invasive surgery for a wide range, not all minimally invasive surgery need general anesthesia, for the nasal cavity, joint cavity and other local lesions of minimally invasive surgery can not be general anesthesia, but abdominal and pelvic minimally invasive surgery need general anesthesia, depending on the site of the operation to decide.
Minimally invasive surgery refers to the use of laparoscopy, thoracoscopy and other modern medical devices and related equipment for surgery, is a kind of minimally invasive surgery.
The reason why general anesthesia is needed for minimally invasive surgery in the abdominal cavity, pelvic cavity and other places is that minimally invasive surgery requires the muscles of the abdominal wall to be completely relaxed, and the production of pneumoperitoneum to make the abdominal cavity completely augmented, and general anesthesia can achieve such an effect, which is conducive to the conduct of the surgery.
At the same time, if the patient receives general anesthesia, you need to closely observe their vital signs during surgery to prevent accidents.
After general anesthesia for minimally invasive surgery, we need to wait until the patient is fully awake before being sent to the ward, and we need to strictly observe the patient’s vital signs after surgery.
