Abstract:
After 30 years of development in China, laparoscopic gastrointestinal surgery has been widely accepted and popularized. In recent years, the application of a series of novel technologies, such as 3D laparoscopic system, 4k high-definition laparoscopy, near-infrared fluorescence imaging technique and telesurgery with 5G wireless system has injected new vitality to the laparoscopic gastrointestinal surgery in new era. It also well contributes to the further promotion and standardization of minimally invasive gastrointestinal surgery. This article reviews the application and development of novel techniques in minimally invasive gastrointestinal surgery. It is concluded that great progress has been made in clinical application of minimally invasive gastrointestinal surgery in China. In terms of surgical technology and equipment development, the period of mechanical imitation has passed and a new era focusing on innovation and originality is coming in China. The authors believe that Chinese laparoscopic gastrointestinal surgeons should remember their original intention, insist on the patient-centered concept in diagnosis and treatment, maintain innovative thinking and attitude and thus, push the development of minimally invasive gastrointestinal surgery to a new height in China.
