微创时代胃肠外科的发展趋势

Trends in the development of gastrointestinal surgery in the era of minimally invasive surgery

改革开放30年来，科学技术取得了长足的进步，显著地推动了微创技术在胃肠外科中的应用。胃肠道肿瘤的微创手术是目前的研究热点和学术发展方向。

The development of science and technology dramatically promotes the application of minimally invasive technique in the field of gastrointestinal surgery. Today, almost all kinds of gastrointestinal operations can be accomplished through or with the assistance of a laparoscope. Compared to traditional open surgery, laparoseopic surgery, which is accomplished by experienced surgeons, can leads to a similar or even better surgical outcome. Although the endoscopic technique was firstly invented as a diagnostic method, its application has expanded to many different medical areas. Now, endoscopic gastrointestinal polypeewmy is extensively applied in primary hospitals. Moreover, endoscopic mueosal resection and endoscopic snbmucosal dissection are also carried out in many large medical centers in China. More and more patients are benefiting a lot from the minimally invasive technique. As the concept of minimally invasire technique is widely accepted, minimally invasive surgery. will be a major aspect in the development of gastrointestinal surgery. As a contemporary gastrointestinal surgeon, it is imperative to handle the minimally invasive technique proficiently.
