Future of innovation and development of minimally invasive surgical technology and instruments / 中华消化外科杂志

ABSTRACT

The application of minimally invasive surgery has experienced rapid develop-ment for more than 30 years. The continuous development of minimally invasive technology and instru-ments in the fields of energy platform and imaging equipment has promoted the progress of laparos-copic surgery to be more accurate and secure, and the development of laparoscopic surgery itself has also continuously fed back the innovation of technology and instruments. In recent years, the innovative development of minimally invasive technology and instruments has been more closely combined with the current scientific and technological frontier, leading to the innovative achievements in the fields of robotic surgery, screenless surgery, artificial intelligence, electronic instrument, virtualization and so on. In the new era, surgeons should always keep an eye on the forefront of science and technology, the combination of surgery and technology, application of advanced technology to solve the key problems of current surgery, so as to inject new vitality into the next development of minimally invasive surgery.
