We all know what surgery is. Do we all realize what invasive surgery is? Likely not so let us look at what invasive surgery is. Invasive surgery is, essentially, any surgery that breaks the skin. Now, most surgery is invasive but some surgeries can be minimally invasive and medicine is working toward less and less invasive surgeries.
Why would anyone undergo invasive surgeries? Most often people have little or no choice when it comes to having invasive surgery. Perhaps a person is in an accident and has some serious trauma. The repair of that trauma would require invasive surgery because the surgical team would have to slice, cut and insert items into the body in order to repair that person.
Also, should you have a cancer of some nature then that would require some form of invasive surgery. In this case there is really no choice as to whether to have the surgery or not. You would want to save your life so you’d have very invasive surgery if it was required.
So it is very easy to see why someone would want to have invasive surgery, at least in these kinds of incidents. There is another instance wherein you might have invasive surgery and you might have the choice to have the surgery or not.
If you were to choose to have an abdominoplasty, also known as a tummy tuck, not only would that be an invasive surgery but it is a surgery that is performed for pure vanity related reasons. That is the reason why one would choose to have an invasive surgery is clearly vanity unless there is some reason that your doctor has decided that it is a life saving procedure, which is unlikely.
There are so many surgeries that are had by choice alone and there are all vanity based. Breast augmentation is yet another surgery that is invasive yet is something that women have done for the sake of vanity. I have had women argue with me about that but in the end breast augmentation remains a vanity choice.
Rhinoplasty is another invasive surgery that people choose to have. Also known as a nose job, rhinoplasty is an invasive surgery that both men and women are choosing to have and this is yet again done for vanity reasons.
So the reasons people have invasive surgery is basically two-fold. Firstly, there are those surgeries in which the patient has no choice. The invasive surgery is done to save lives. The other reason folks undergo invasive surgery is due to vanity. People don’t like the way they look so they undergo these surgeries simply to look better.
It should be noted that medicine is forever trying to find less invasive ways to perform surgeries. Each year the trauma done to the body because of invasive surgeries is being lessened and this can only be a good thing. It is a good thing because the patient can spend more time recovering from the illness and less time recovering from the surgery.
