What are the advantages of minimally invasive surgery for liver cancer over traditional surgery?

1. Small wound: Minimally invasive surgery for liver cancer only needs to cut a small incision of 0. 1~ 1cm in the abdomen, and patients will not leave scars, while traditional surgery has a large wound, at least 10cm, and the scar is long, which affects the appearance. 2. Mild pain: Because the surgical incision is small, the patient can complete the operation in sleep by intravenous anesthesia, so the patient has less pain, while the traditional operation requires a larger incision, and the postoperative incision is often accompanied by pain, soreness, numbness and other symptoms. 3. Fast recovery: Minimally invasive surgery can greatly reduce the damage to the liver and the interference to the liver function, and shorten the postoperative recovery time. However, the traditional surgical incision is large, which will inevitably cause damage to muscles, blood vessels and corresponding nerves near the incision, and may also be accompanied by some complications of tissue infection, so the patient's recovery speed is slow. 4. Short hospitalization time: Generally, patients with liver cancer can get out of bed within 6-8 hours after operation, and can eat after anal exhaust 12-24 hours, and can basically recover after one week, and the cost will be relatively reduced, while traditional surgery takes 24 hours to get out of bed, so the hospitalization time is longer and the cost is higher.
