The Godfather of Surgery

After preparing for so long, the finals of the Golden Knife Awards finally kicked off.

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

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

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

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 were present and sat in the first row. President 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 operation, the tumor went from the upper cervical spinal cord to the medulla oblongata. This requires the operation of the Department of Orthopedics and the Department of Neurosurgery? Xiao Yang won it alone? He can even take down the brain stem tumor? President Xia asked the person next to him. Director Han.

He deliberately pulled Director Han to sit next to him and waited for the operation. He asked Director Han to explain and explain. After all, he was not engaged in orthopedics.

It's not an ordinary brain stem tumor. It invades the center of life. The success rate is less than 1%. The sixth hospital invited a few Yankees to come over for consultation. At that time, I showed the film to Xiao Yang. He said that he was 80% sure. I thought I heard it wrong. Yankees surrounded him like students. Director Han was triumphant.

This guy, I asked him how much he was sure of winning the championship, and he said 80%. Dean Xia laughed.

Director Han explained: That's stable.

You didn't hear any rumors, did you? How come I heard that I was going to poach people from Fuyi's side. Dean Xia was most worried about this.

Don't worry, I can't dig. Lao Su and her daughter are here, how can he dig? Director Han knew what to do.

Xiehe heard that they are going to send someone over to learn Xiao Yang's surgery? Dean Xia was very concerned.

Yeah, Academician Liang called me a few times, and we have to send a few people to study in turn, and 301 will also send people. Director Han replied.

Our Sanbo has a face this time, it's a bit interesting for me to be the dean, Lao Han, you have to be careful, don't let them poach people, Xiehehe 301 is the best platform in the country, these people are crazy Very, digging people without mercy.

Xiehe is more gentle, I'm afraid of 301. When the time comes, the young couple will be poached together, or even a team will be pried away, and they will go directly to the special move and give them the military rank. It will be troublesome.

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

Director Han is not afraid: Xiao Yang doesn't care about this. He cares most about being able to let go of his hands and feet. Let's try to find a way to help Xiao Yang to promote the deputy high. Director Han discussed with President Xia.

President 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? I think so, this kind of genius, I am afraid that the ordinary model will constrain him, we must break the rules and regulations and let him develop his talents freely, not limited to orthopedics, let him do tumors, hearts, brains, and whatever is difficult, let him do it.”

These words speak to President Xia's heart: Old Han, I was just about to discuss it with you. This kind of practice has never happened in the whole country, and it is rare in the world. Because of this, other hospitals can't provide this kind of condition, but we give it to you. , give it decisively, this research institute must be built, and it is built on the basis of your comprehensive orthopaedic department. Also, scientific research funds, our hospital will set up a special fund for him, relying on the money for the project, drizzle, useless, We want to establish a scientific research fund that can accept social donations, and I will do this.

The two bowed 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 writing. I remember it all, do one thing, tick it, and don't write a bad check.

After chatting and chatting, the operation started.

There are several hospitals with the highest number of robotic surgeries in the country. Competitors from these hospitals have been indignant. They feel that robotic surgeries are ranked last, leaving them with nowhere to play. If robotic surgeries are ranked first, they will definitely be eliminated. Many people can even eliminate Yang Ping.

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

The first patient, a 45-year-old male, presented with a severe atlantoaxial congenital malformation with a depressed skull base.

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

Yang Ping looked for the screw channel through the CT scan image, and found that there was no way to go on the right side, and there was no place to place the screw at all.

There is only one channel on the left side, next to the vertebral artery and spinal cord, and this channel is only 4 mm wide.

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

No wonder people are reluctant to accept that this kind of only nailing channel, once a mistake is made, it will either die or be disabled.

If Yang Ping did it with traditional methods, he could do it, but with advanced tools like robots, it would be easier, and the start-up fee would be free during the competition, which would not increase the financial burden on patients, so why not use better tools.

The position of the robot was set, Song Zimo sterilized and laid out the sheets, with the assistance of the visiting nurse, put a sterile protective film on the robotic arm, and then installed an antenna-tracer in the operating area, which was paired with the robot's tracer, Yang Ping brushed his hands On stage, the surgery begins.

The C-arm scans the patient's 3D image, and the image is synchronously transmitted to the orthopaedic surgery robot system and displayed on the screen.

Yang Ping designed the nail path on the navigation system screen, an indicator line marked the center of the passage, 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 entry point of the target screw track.

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

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

The 4mm diameter screw is placed in the only 4mm channel without any errors.

The entire operation was neat and tidy, like a missile carrying out precision bombing, aiming, launching, navigating, and hitting—all in one go, no mistakes, and less than ten minutes.

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

One day in the future, all the tumors in the skull will be removed, no need for craniotomy, just a small hole, or enter the skull from the nasal cavity, put a few small robotic arms in, remove the tumor completely, and then pack it in a bag, It is isolated and crushed, and finally crushed and sucked out in the bag.

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

Moreover, this kind of operation requires very little physical strength for the doctor, and even in special emergencies, a skilled doctor can perform several operations at the same time.

Then, cervical vertebra fracture, thoracic vertebra fracture, lumbar vertebra fracture pedicle screw fixation, sacroiliac screw placement of sacroiliac joint separation.

Several joints of the robotic arm move quickly, and the terminal equipment operates precisely, and the limits of the machine are fully exerted. Five operations were performed in a row.

The proficiency of this kind of robot manipulation is astounding. The mechanical 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 man-machine integration.

Watching Yang Ping's robotic surgery is a pleasure full of artistic charm.

The final injustice 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 from his.

Just like playing table tennis, the gap between the two is too big, and the losing side will always feel that they are not playing at their level.

If the first season is robotic surgery, no matter who encounters Yang Ping, he will still be eliminated.

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

This year's Golden Knife Award ended with the champion Yang Ping and the runner-up Su Nanchen. Wen Rentao defeated Zheng Huahua and won the third place.

The shrewd Johanneson asked for an account on the Golden Knife Award website from a Chinese doctor who was studying at Mayo, and repeated research on Yang Ping's surgery.

Even though he focuses on brain surgery, he is also very interested in Yang Ping's spine surgery and robotic surgery. After watching Yang Ping's robotic surgery video, this is the real integration of man and machine.

At that time, Johanneson invited the Chinese doctor from Mayo to dinner. The doctor was flattered and didn't expect to just ask for an account.

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

The video of Da Vinci's hot dance and Dimensity painting quickly spread in WeChat Moments.

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

Da Vinci was dancing, and Johanneson couldn't decipher how the four robotic arms were able to complete the staggered shuttle winding in a small bottle without colliding with each other.

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

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

Intuition should pay Dr. Yang at least five million dollars for this video! Johannesson felt.

Johanneson uploaded the video to his own online community, which currently has only three members.
