随着外科微创手术时代的到来，疝与腹壁外科作为外科发展史中的一个缩影同样受到相应的影响。腹腔镜疝手术以其创伤小、恢复快等优势，一经问世便迅速在世界范围内推广开展。中国腹腔镜疝手术相比国外，虽然起步时间相对较晚，但由于患者数量众多，加上中国疝外科医师勤奋钻研的良好职业素养，经过20年的发展中国的腹腔镜疝手术无论是数量还是质量上都处于国际先进水平。而随着5G时代的到来，更应充分发挥高速通信技术的优势，将微创技术造福于我国更多的疝病患者。

With the advent of the era of minimally invasive surgery, hernia and abdominal wall surgery as a microcosm of the development history of surgical have also been affected. Laparoscopic hernia surgery has the advantages of less trauma and fast recovery. Once it came out, it was quickly promoted worldwide. Compared with foreign countries, China’s laparoscopic hernia surgery started relatively late. However, due to the large number of patients and the good professional quality of Chinese hernia surgeons, after 20 years of development, China’s laparoscopic hernia surgery has reached the international advanced level in terms of quantity and quality. With the advent of the 5G era, the advantages of high-speed communication technology should be given full pay to benefit more hernia patients with minimally invasive technology.
