New direction for surgery: Super minimally invasive surgery.

The top goal of modern medicine is treating disease without destroying organ structures and making patients as healthy as they were before their sickness. Minimally invasive surgery (MIS) has dominated the surgical realm because of its lesser invasiveness. However, changes in anatomical structures of the body and reconstruction of internal organs or different organs are common after traditional surgery or MIS, decreasing the quality of life of patients post-operation. Thus, I propose a new treatment mode, super MIS (SMIS), which is defined as "curing a disease or lesion which used to be treated by MIS while preserving the integrity of the organs". In this study, I describe the origin, definition, operative channels, advantages, and future perspectives of SMIS.
