| Minimally invasive medicine (MIM) includes minimally invasive concept and minimally invasive techniques. The theoretical system of MIM is open and changeable. In theory, the concept, definition, range and characteristics of MIM will be improved in the progress of clinical practices and studies. Without doubt, the development of nature and social science promotes the modern surgery to be minimally Invasive. The development in modern science and technology, such as biotechnique, microelectronics, optics and computer information system and real-time image-forming facilitates the application of minimally invasive techniques in the discipline of surgery. The occurrence of medicine is due to the suffering caused by diseases and the wishes to reduce the suffering. With the understanding and acceptance of MIM concept, the surgery style companied by injury during operation is gradually abandoned. Instead, the bio-psycho-social medical model using humanism as its basic key is required by more and more doctors.The concept of minimally invasive surgery is applied in the discipline of breast surgery, mostly due to meeting the requirement of the doctors and patients. The requirement is not only to heal the disease, but also to keep the intact beauty of the breasts. The resection of tumor is not just physical injury. The psychological injury of the patients should be also considered. The muti-techniques of MIM promote the success rate of early diagnosis. At the same time, the techniques of MIM are confirmed and accepted widely. The traditional breast surgery is gradually replaced by minimally invasive surgery whose development and progression promotes the formation of concept of humanism as its kennel, and also confirms that MIM is the combination of new technology, knowledge and concept. The basis of the concept is that patients are central. As a result, the MIM provide the least injury, the most benefit and best service for the patients. |
