"Sister Xie just said TECAB, fully endoscopic robot-assisted coronary artery bypass grafting." Mi Wenlin recalled word by word after translating what the senior sister said, revealing a sense of surprise in his tone.
A group of juniors and juniors have done their homework in private, so they know that the only robots in the world that can do TECAB are the robots of Company B, and TECAB is the unique skill of Company B.
If you can thoroughly understand the meaning of the above words, you can understand why Mr. Ren did not ask about TECAB at the beginning, but only emphasized beating heart surgery. Here I want to talk about another famous robot company Z that is as famous as Company B in the world. The robot of Z company can also perform MIDCAB, a minimally invasive direct coronary artery bypass surgery with a beating heart.
surgery. As the name suggests, the robot only performs part of the surgical procedure and does not perform full endoscopic surgery.
Based on this, it can be inferred how difficult TECAB is.
Where is the difficulty of TECAB? Try to compare it with the thoracoscopic predecessor of the quoted surgical robot.
When using thoracoscopic coronary artery bypass grafting, many doctors also prefer to use thoracoscopic partial surgical assistance rather than full thoracoscopy.
Where do these doctors use laparoscopic assistance and where are they not in the operation? We have said before that the best "bridge" in the human body is the internal mammary artery for coronary artery bypass grafting. Harvesting the internal mammary artery in traditional surgery requires a central operation to split the sternum. Laparoscopic technology Thoracoscopic or surgical robot in the collection of mammary movements
Compared with traditional surgery, pulse time has full advantages, and it does not need to split the sternum, which is beneficial to patients and doctors.
Therefore, laparoscopic technical assistance is the first step in this part of the surgical procedure.
Why do doctors not like to use laparoscopy to continue to complete the following bypass surgery? The heart is an irregular arc-shaped sphere, and it can be regarded as an egg in a simple summary. Is it easy to sew blood vessels on the curved surface of a jumping "egg" under direct vision? Or take a "long stick" and adjust it around the "mirror"
Is it easy to operate under the difficult lighting
Obviously the former is easier.
Not to mention that the bypass surgery part can now also be made with small incisions, which is convenient for podiatrists without leaving large scars on patients.
If so why pursue full endoscopic surgery? Full endoscopic surgery can magnify the surgical field of view to several times that of traditional surgery. With this, the doctor can perform the operation extremely finely and meticulously with minimal trauma, which is impossible under direct vision.
Students will then use "thick" fingers to operate.
It makes sense to design the robot well so that doctors can do TECAB.
If their team can really do it, it must be on par with Company B's technology and rank first in the world.
He dare not dream of such a dream, the first goal is at most to set up a MIDCAB to catch up with the second Z company.
"You said that you can choose more complicated surgical cases?" Ren Zhelun was sure if he had heard correctly.
Junior Sister Wan Wan, a superwoman, told him that we can catch up with Company B and make more complicated TECAB? !
It was so quiet that one could hear a needle drop on the ground. A large group of people who held their breath were no different from Big Brother Ren in mentality, too shocked to express.
Xie Wanying didn't have time to open her mouth to answer Senior Brother Ren's question.
Ring ring ring phone rings.
Ren Zhelun took out his mobile phone from the pocket of his white coat. His boss, Mr. Zhang, called him: "You bring Xie Wanying down to my office. Director Fang brought a medical record."
