Nanotechnology is an emerging discipline, having power to revolutionarize every scientific field to a very deep level which previously thought to be a science fiction. Having a great potential to beneficially change the way a disease is diagnosed, treated and prevented, nanotechnology practically impacts on state of the art healthcare technologies and plays a crucial role in changing the field of surgery. Surgeons are constantly looking for minimally invasive ways to treat their patients, as recovery is faster when a lesser trauma is inflicted upon a patient, scarring is lessened and there are usually fewer complications in the aftermath of the operation. Through nanotechnology, tiny biosensors could be constructed which could take these factors into account, thus shortening the patient recovery period and saving hospitals money, reducing infection rates within the hospital, reducing the waiting lists for operation and allowing doctors to treat more patients in the same period of time. This review employs a thematic analysis of online series of academic papers focuses on the potentials of nanotechnology in surgery, especially in plastic surgery and addresses the possible future prospects of nanotechnology in this field.
纳米技术是一门新兴学科，有能力在深层次上彻底改变每个科学领域，而这些领域以前被认为是科幻小说的内容。纳米技术有很大潜力有益地改变疾病的诊断、治疗和预防方式，实际上影响着最先进的医疗技术，并在改变外科领域方面发挥着关键作用。外科医生一直在寻找微创方法来治疗患者，因为对患者造成的创伤越小，恢复就越快，疤痕越少，而且术后通常并发症也越少。通过纳米技术，可以构建微小的生物传感器，这些传感器可以考虑到这些因素，从而缩短患者的恢复期，为医院节省资金，降低医院内的感染率，减少手术等候名单，并使医生能够在同一时间段内治疗更多患者。本综述采用主题分析法，对一系列在线学术论文进行分析，重点关注纳米技术在外科手术中的潜力，特别是在整形手术中的潜力，并探讨纳米技术在该领域可能的未来前景。
