Advantages of laparoscopic minimally invasive treatment of giant renal cancer

For patients with renal cancer with a diameter of less than 8 cm, laparoscopic radical nephrectomy is the preferred treatment. However, for patients with giant renal cancer, laparoscopic minimally invasive treatment can also be the preferred treatment.

First, the field of vision is clear and surgical operations are more precise.

The laparoscopic camera has a magnifying effect and can clearly display the fine structure of the tissues in the body. Therefore, compared with traditional laparotomy, the field of vision is clearer, delicate operations can be performed under direct vision, the operation is more accurate and delicate, the treatment of blood vessels and other tissues is more secure, and unnecessary interference with organs outside the surgical site is effectively avoided. There is less bleeding during the operation, and the operation is safer. The small surgical space is not a problem. As long as the surgeon is skilled in the operation and operates gently, the advantages of laparoscopy in treating giant renal cancer are unquestionable.

Secondly, patients have a higher quality of life.

If patients with giant renal cancer undergo open traditional surgery, the surgical incision will be greatly extended, and the surgical scar will be long, which is not suitable for postoperative recovery or future beauty. Laparoscopic surgery has a small incision, fast postoperative recovery, and short hospitalization time. The patient can eat semi-liquid food and get out of bed the next day after surgery, and can resume normal life and work after one week. It does not leave obvious scars and is locally beautiful.

Third, relieve the patient's postoperative pain

Postoperative pain is the main problem affecting the patient's recovery and the key issue affecting their quality of life. Patients who undergo laparoscopic surgery do not experience obvious postoperative pain, and generally do not need to take painkillers after surgery.

Fourth, there is less bleeding during the operation.

The invention of instruments such as ultrasonic scalpels has greatly reduced surgical bleeding, and laparoscopic surgery has a clear anatomical structure and is less prone to bleeding.

Fifth, lymph node dissection can be performed at the same time.

Huge renal cancer sometimes accumulates surrounding tissues, so lymph node dissection and other tasks are required during surgery, and laparoscopy is fully capable of this task and performs it extremely well. In addition, laparoscopy is of great help to patients in getting out of bed early after surgery, enhancing expectoration, and reducing blood clots.
