Abstract:
Surgery is a kind of medical practice to cure patients by operative interventions.The history of surgery was as long as the history of human civilization.To treat diseases with conventional surgical methods,patients often suffered from great pain both physically and mentally,besides the everlasting unsightly scar.Since the introduction of laparoscopic surgery in 1987, enthusiasm for minimally invasive surgery has been surging with great rapidity.There were discussions about the true connotation of minimally invasive surgery over the country.Trauma, both from accidental injuries or inflicted by surgical operations,if reaches to a certain magnitude,is a kind of noxious stumulus,which disrupts the homeostasis of the organism.This stress condition sets up a net work of adaptation reaction in the body, which if over expressed or underresponded,would do harm to the organism.Therefore,in considering the effect of minimally invasive surgery,not only the length of the surgical incision made,but also the systemic response of the body,should be our concern.Response to trauma is a heritage of our ancestor.With the rapid development of science and technology today, it might be possible for us to modify it so that its deleterious effects are minimized.Therefore, minimally invasive surgery,and to minimize the traumatic effect of conventional surgery,both locally and systemically,will be the main trend of surgical modalities in the 21st century.
