godfather of surgery

Chapter 392 $500 million

After preparing for so long, the final of the Golden Knife Award finally started.

Robotic surgery is an emerging project, and everyone is very interested.

Many doctors across the country have arranged their time to watch Yang Ping's live broadcast of robotic surgery.

In Sanbo Hospital, except for those in the outpatient department and the emergency department, almost all the surgeons who were undergoing emergency surgery postponed elective surgery and gathered in the large conference room of the hospital to watch Yang Ping's operation.

Some doctors in internal medicine and auxiliary departments also wanted to join in the fun and came over to see the operation.

All the leaders of the hospital arrived and sat in the first row. Dean Xia was in high spirits and kept asking, "Why hasn't it started yet?"

Everyone wants to witness this historical moment, and Sanbo Hospital is going to win the championship.

"The last time Academician Feng performed the surgery, the tumor was from the upper cervical spinal cord to the medulla oblongata. This requires the cooperation of the Department of Orthopedics and Neurosurgery? Xiao Yang took it alone? He can take the brainstem tumor?" Dean Xia asked the side Director Han.

He purposely pulled Director Han to sit next to him, waiting for the operation, and asked Director Han to help explain, after all, he is not in orthopedics.

"It's not an ordinary brainstem tumor. It invades the life center. The success rate is less than [-]%. The Sixth Hospital invited a few Yankees to come for consultation. The director of neurosurgery at Mayo is also here. They dare not use a knife. I At that time, I showed the film to Xiao Yang, and he said that he was [-]% sure. Yankees surrounded him like students." Director Han was triumphant.

"This guy, I asked him how sure he is of winning the championship, and he also said [-]%." Dean Xia laughed.

Director Han explained: "That is stable."

"You didn't hear any rumors, did you? How did I hear that there was a plan to poach people over there?" Dean Xia was most worried about this.

"Don't worry, I can't dig it. Old Su and her daughter are here, how can he dig it?" Director Han knew it.

"I heard that Xiehe will send someone to learn Xiao Yang's operation?" Dean Xia was very concerned.

"Yes, Academician Liang called me a few times, to send several groups of people to study in turn, and 301 will also send people." Director Han replied.

"Our Sanbo has grown up this time, and it's interesting for me to be the dean. You have to be careful, Lao Han, and don't let them poach people away. Xiehehe 301 is the best platform in the country. These people are crazy. Very, they are merciless in poaching people."

"Xiehe is more gentle, I am afraid that 301 will poach the young couple together, or even pry them away with a team, and go straight to the special move and give them military ranks, which will be troublesome."

The more Dean Xia thought about it, the more worried he became.

Director Han is not afraid: "Xiao Yang doesn't care about these things. He cares most about being able to let go of his hands and feet. Let's find a way to help Xiao Yang break the rules and get promoted to the deputy high." Director Han discussed with Dean Xia.

Dean Xia said: "I'm also thinking about this."

Director Han thought for a while and then said: "Old Xia, I was thinking, in Xiao Yang's situation, should we help him build a surgical research institute so that he can study patients across disciplines? That's what I think, this kind of genius, I am afraid that the ordinary model will restrain him, we must break the rules and allow him to freely display his talents, do not limit himself to orthopedics, let him do tumors, heart, brain, whatever is difficult, let him do it.”

This said to Dean Xia's heart: "Old Han, I just wanted to discuss with you. This kind of practice has never happened in the country, and it is rare in the world. Because of this, other hospitals cannot provide this kind of condition, but we give it , give it decisively, this institute must be established, and it will be built on the basis of your comprehensive orthopedics department. Also, for scientific research funds, our hospital will establish a special fund for him. We want to establish a scientific research fund that can accept social donations, and I will do this."

The two lowered their heads and chatted. Dean Xia still recorded in his notebook from time to time, and said to Director Han: "A good memory is not as good as a bad pen. I remember everything. If I do something, I will tick it off and don't write a bad check."

Chatting and chatting, the operation started.

There are several hospitals with the highest number of robotic surgeries in the country. The contestants in these hospitals have always been aggrieved. They feel that robotic surgery is ranked last, which makes their expertise useless. If robotic surgery is ranked first, they will definitely be eliminated. Many people can even eliminate Yang Ping.

Among them, Zheng Huahua also had this kind of thinking. He felt that he was eliminated, the whole process was too rough, and he was not up to the level. He is now waiting for Yang Ping's surgery to start.

The first patient was a 45-year-old male with severe atlantoaxial congenital malformation and skull base depression.

This patient also went to many hospitals, and no one else dared to undergo surgery.

Yang Ping scanned the images through CT to look for the screw channel, and found that there was no way to go on the right side, and there was no place to put the screw at all.

There is only one channel on the left side, close to the vertebral artery and spinal cord, and only a 4 mm wide screw track remains in this channel.

According to common sense, the precision requirements of this operation completely surpassed human ability.

No wonder people don't want to accept it, this is the only way to place nails, once it makes a mistake, it will either die or be disabled.

If Yang Ping uses traditional methods to do it, he can do it, but with advanced tools like robots, it will be easier, and the start-up fee is free during the competition, which will not increase the financial burden of patients, so why not use better tools.

The position of the robot is set, Song Zimo sterilizes and lays the sheets, and with the assistance of the itinerant nurse, puts a sterile protective film on the robotic arm, and then installs the antenna-tracer on the operation area, which is paired with the robot's tracer, and Yang Ping brushes his hands On stage, the operation begins.

The C-arm performs three-dimensional image scanning on the patient, and the image is synchronously transmitted to the orthopedic surgery robot system and displayed on the screen.

Yang Ping designed the nail path on the navigation system screen, and an indicator line marked the center of the path, and then the entry point, direction and length were calculated.

The robotic arm precisely positions the surgical tool to the surgical site, and the sleeve points to the nail entry point of the target nail channel.

Along the sleeve, the guide wire is drilled and inserted into the patient's vertebrae. After confirming that the position is correct, a hollow screw with a diameter of 4 mm is inserted into the guide wire, screwed in along the guide wire, the screw is in place, and the guide is pulled out. Needle.

Subsequently, Yang Ping scanned the patient again to confirm that the screw position was consistent with the plan.

Screws with a diameter of 4mm were placed in the only 4mm channel without any error.

The whole operation was clean and quick, like a missile bombing with precision, aiming, launching, navigating, and hitting—all in one go, with the exactest accuracy, and it took less than 10 minutes to complete.

Although surgical robots have many shortcomings, Yang Ping believes that robotic surgery is the future trend.

One day in the future, all intracranial tumors will be removed without craniotomy, just drill a small hole, or enter the intracranial through the nasal cavity, insert a few small robotic arms, completely remove the tumor, and then pack it in a bag. Carry out isolation crushing, and finally be crushed and sucked out in the bag.

Perhaps in the future, all operations can be performed by doctors operating robots, especially for first aid on the battlefield. Doctors can perform remote operations on frontline patients from the rear.

Moreover, this kind of operation consumes very little physical energy for the doctor. Even in an emergency, a skilled doctor can perform several operations at the same time.

Immediately afterwards, cervical fractures, thoracic fractures, and lumbar fractures were fixed with pedicle screws, and sacroiliac screws for sacroiliac joint separation were placed.

Several joints of the robotic arm move quickly, the terminal equipment is operated precisely, and the limit of the machine is brought into full play.Five surgeries were completed in succession.

The proficiency in the manipulation of this robot is jaw-dropping. The robotic arm has gone far beyond the meaning of a tool, and has truly become an extension of the doctor's hands, reaching the realm of human-machine integration.

Watching Yang Ping's robotic surgery is a kind of enjoyment, full of artistic charm.

The last grievance in Zheng Huahua's heart was dispelled, and he felt that the process of being eliminated was too rough, because his level was too far behind him.

Just like playing table tennis, the gap between the two is too big, and the loser will always feel that he has not played to the level.

If the first season had been robotic surgery, whoever met Yang Ping would still be eliminated.

Su Nanchen was naturally defeated by Yang Ping and only won the runner-up, but he was already very satisfied.

This year's Golden Knife Awards came to an end, with champion Yang Ping and runner-up Su Nanchen.Wen Rentao defeated Zheng Huahua and won the third place.

The shrewd Johannesson asked for an account on the Golden Knife Award website from a Chinese doctor who was studying in Mayo, and repeatedly studied Yang Ping's operation.

Even though he focuses on craniocerebral surgery, he is also interested in Yang Ping's spinal surgery and robotic surgery. After watching Yang Ping's robotic surgery video, it is a true integration of man and machine.

At that time, Johannesson invited the Chinese doctor from Mayo to dinner. The doctor was flattered, but he didn't expect that he just wanted an account.

Moreover, the professor also seriously signed a letter of commitment, stating that the account is only used to watch the operation and will never do anything that violates the law.

The video of Da Vinci's hot dance and Tianji's painting quickly spread in the circle of WeChat friends.

Mayo's Chinese doctor obtained the video and sent it to Johannesson.

Da Vinci danced hotly, and Johannesson couldn't figure out how the four robotic arms did it. They could complete the interlacing and winding in a narrow bottle without colliding with each other.

If I use four machines to operate a grape, there will be collisions, the space is too narrow, not to mention the speed is so fast, which is already the limit speed of the machine.

No matter what kind of technology, in the hands of Dr. Yang, it can be used to the limit.

"For this video, Intuition should pay Dr. Yang at least $500 million!" Johannesson thought.

Johannesson uploaded the video to his self-built online community, which currently has only three members.
