Attaching importance to the selection and control of surgical indications / 国际外科学杂志

ABSTRACT

Modern surgical technology develops rapidly, and surgical methods and therapeutic ideas are changing constantly, which greatly improve the surgical safety and the therapeutic effect of patients. However, no matter how advanced the surgical techniques develop, correct and reasonable selection and control of surgical indications are always the basic issues of surgery, as well as the basic quality of surgeons throughout the career. Surgeons should strictly control surgical indications, improve the theoretical knowledge and technical level, and avoid adverse factors interfering with surgical decision-making; possess the courage to perform high-risk operations in accordance with the indications, strengthen doctors′ sense of responsibility and vocation; reasonably select surgical methods, grasp the balance between "conventional open surgery" and "laparoscopic minimally invasive surgery" ; and rationally view the advantages of non-surgical methods, pay attention to interdisciplinary integration to create conditions for the implementation of surgery. Only this can surgeons keep our original intention, and maximize the benefit of patients from the treatment.
