Chapter 2725: Technology that makes doctors lose their jobs
In the operating room, after the two left and right coronary arteries were routed to the predetermined position, the entire route work was officially completed. Next came the most critical and important part of the entire operation, which was the anastomosis of the blood vessels.
Compared with ordinary bypass surgery, which only has two vascular anastomoses, this time there are dozens of vascular anastomoses that need to be anastomosed. These blood vessels need to be sutured very carefully to ensure that there will be no blood leakage at the vascular anastomoses.
In addition, the entire anastomosis interface must be sutured flat, without wrinkles or other raised objects, which will become a hotbed for subsequent accumulation of fat plaques in blood vessels.
Generally speaking, this kind of small blood vessel anastomosis needs to be performed under a microscope, and it also needs to be performed by an experienced doctor. Although the entire anastomosis process needs to be fast, it cannot be sloppy.
It already takes a long time for ordinary doctors to complete one or two blood vessel anastomoses, but now there are dozens of such blood vessels, and it may be difficult to complete it in a short time by manpower alone.
You must know that the blood supply blood vessels of the heart tissue have been cut off at this time. If these blood vessels cannot be connected to provide blood supply within a certain period of time, the heart tissue will become necrotic due to ischemia.
Therefore, time is of the essence. The longer the delay, the worse the condition of the heart tissue will be, and the worse the subsequent functional recovery will be.
Therefore, this is also one of the difficulties in this whole heart coronary artery blood vessel replacement surgery. Simply put, this cannot be done manually, because the field of view of thoracotomy surgery is so large, and it really cannot accommodate too many hands to perform the surgery at the same time.
.
Now, with the help of this thirty-six-tentacled medical multi-tentacle surgical robot, six surgical teams can perform simultaneous core surgeries, which means that it can perform six blood vessel anastomosis surgeries at the same time.
It can still be like this!
this……
I'll go, this is too convenient.
…
All the doctors who were watching the live broadcast of the operation couldn't help but exclaimed. The live broadcast deeply stimulated everyone.
The scene switched to the field of view of a surgical team. This surgical team controlled the robotic arm to place the original terminal blood vessel fractures of the heart and the newly implanted coronary artery blood vessel fractures on a very small concave-convex anastomosis table, and began.
Use a knife to cut the broken ends of the blood vessels at both ends so that they can be spliced together smoothly.
Immediately afterwards, a robotic arm was seen picking up two blood vessels, and then used a transparent semi-solid ointment to smear the fractured blood vessels.
Immediately afterwards, the two blood vessels were placed on the anastomosis table, and the two sides were fixed by robotic arms, with a certain gap in the middle. The operator began to control the equipment, and saw a robotic arm begin to extend into the air strike between the two blood vessels.
, and then began to move the thread from left to right. The whole process was fast and smooth, just like a sewing machine running thread on clothes.
The whole process is very quick, and it only takes about a minute. A small blood vessel is sutured. Moreover, the density of the suturing is very fine, which cannot be done manually.
After the tape was sutured, as the robot pulled the thread closer to take up the thread, the two blood vessels were merely sewn in a circle, leaving no room for any gaps, and the transparent semi-solid paste just applied on the fracture also seeped through the gaps.
came out. Immediately afterwards, a robotic arm came to re-apply this transparent semi-solid ointment to the vascular anastomosis interface.
In this way, the anastomosis of the blood vessels is completed.
This is too fast. When did the blood vessel suturing surgery become so fast? It doesn’t feel like sewing blood vessels, but rather like sewing clothes on a sewing machine.
Moreover, the stitching is very surprising. Not only are the stitches even and detailed, but the stitches are also relatively dense. Not to mention other things, there are only a few doctors in the world who can master such a fine suturing technique. Because even if human hands are dexterous,
, there are also errors and mistakes, but the machine can achieve no errors and zero mistakes, which is the advantage.
Director Tong, who had been paying attention to the suturing situation, also smiled at this time, and then smiled at the camera and said: "This medical intelligent surgical robot has automatic suturing technology. Our doctors can set relevant parameters according to the different suture tissues.
, this robot can perform relevant fine suture surgeries according to our requirements.
This kind of robotic suturing surgery has great advantages over our manual suturing. It has the advantages of fast speed, high precision, zero error, zero mistakes, regular routing, and denseness. For example, a branch blood vessel of 0.3 centimeters like this,
It can sew thirty to forty stitches on it, and this stitching density cannot be accomplished manually.
Before and after blood vessel suturing, we will apply this transparent biogel on the anastomosis of the blood vessel. This biogel has the effect of sealing and promoting wound healing, and it is completely biomaterial, has no side effects, and will
It will automatically dissolve and metabolize cleanly within a few days without leaving any residue.
The reason why we apply this biogel is, of course, to seal the blood vessels and avoid the occurrence of blood vessels and blood leakage. On the other hand, this biogel also helps with wound recovery, and it has a lot of other benefits.
The advantage is that it can eliminate the scars of the wound. In this way, the joints of the entire blood vessels can be ensured to be smooth enough, and the unevenness in the blood vessels can be avoided, which will cause the accumulation of fat in the blood vessels and cause porridge at the joints of the blood vessels.
Such hardened stenosis and siltation conditions.”
Please see, everyone, this is the blood vessel that we have anastomosed. As he spoke, Director Tong controlled a mechanical tentacle and pointed the camera at a blood vessel that had been anastomosed.
As the seam of this blood vessel gets closer and closer, it is clearly visible in front of everyone. Many experts who are watching the live broadcast are not calm. The entire suture interface is impeccable. It is really like hand-sewing on clothes.
The difference between sewing thread and sewing machine.
This has made many experts who claim to be experts in the field of vascular anastomosis and self-proclaimed leaders in vascular anastomosis feel a deep sense of crisis. In the face of such equipment and technology, how can their proud skills be used?
Handy.
While everyone was stunned, most of the entire tubular artery suturing operation had been completed. This progress was unexpected by everyone. The vascular anastomosis process, which everyone thought was the most complicated, time-consuming and labor-intensive process, was now completed.
With the help of Taiwanese medical multi-tentacle surgical robot, it is so simple and easy. This has really subverted many people's perceptions, and also made many doctors completely lament that with the rapid development of technology, I am afraid that if this continues, they will really lose their jobs.
