Chapter 972 This is the benefit of having a kidney

As for the magic of Yang Ping's circle of friends, everyone became more and more excited and talked about further and further away, until the image of the chest cavity appeared on the high-definition screen, and then everyone stopped chatting.

The blockbuster officially began without any trailer. The scene inside the chest cavity appeared only for a few seconds, and then three robotic arms immediately appeared in the screen. They were very flexible and cooperated with each other very tacitly. There was no interference between each other in the chest cavity, let alone friction and collision.

In fact, if the surgical skills are proficient, robotic surgery is really much more convenient than traditional surgery. The current weakness of robotic surgery is the lack of good tactile feedback. Another shortcoming that is not a weakness is that when changing instruments, there is no direct manual operation as timely and fast.

In the future, if the number of robotic arms of the surgical robot can be increased, all the instruments needed for the operation can be installed at one time. This will save the time of switching instruments. When a certain instrument is needed, the robotic arm equipped with that instrument can directly replace the robotic arm that needs to be temporarily withdrawn.

Currently the most successful surgical robot is the da Vinci. In the field of surgical robots, it can be said to be the only one that stands out. There is still a big gap between it and various other surgical robots. This is why the da Vinci surgical robot is the brand with the most equipment in the world, because there is no other choice except it.

The three robotic arms worked together very skillfully, continuously separating and stopping bleeding from the lungs, their blood vessels and bronchi.

Director He personally carried the box containing the organs and ran forward, delivering the organs to the operating room as quickly as possible to minimize the time of organ ischemia. By the time they were sent to the operating room, Yang Ping had completed most of the en bloc resection of both lungs, leaving only the separation and cutting of the last bronchus.

Director He put the box down, but he still stood beside the box, guarding the organs himself, ready to take them out and hand them over to the doctor on the operating table at any time. Since Professor Yang assigned this task to him, he had to do it well. There couldn't be any mistakes.

There was a glass wall between Yang Ping's control panel and the operating room. He was wearing the eyepiece of the surgical robot and could only see the surgical field through the camera, so he didn't know whether Director He had arrived in the operating room.

"Director He? Where's Director He? Has he arrived yet?"

Yang Ping asked while sitting on the operating table and performing surgery.

"Just arrived!"

A doctor nearby answered.

"Let him in!"

Yang Ping ordered.

The doctor immediately went out and called Director He in.

The operation was paused for a while. Director He was taking the donor organs out of the protective box and placing them on the operating table. Song Zimo and Xu Zhiliang checked the organs and trimmed the blood vessels and bronchi to meet the requirements of the operation.

After completing his work, Director He came to the control room. At this time, Yang Ping stopped the operation, took off his glasses, and took his hands off the manipulators.

"Old He, come here and sit here for the operation." Yang Ping instructed Director He, and then gave the surgeon's seat at the control console to Director He.

Director He was a little overwhelmed, with a blank look on his face: "I don't know how to do it? I have only used the da Vinci surgical robot to perform some simple operations. I don't know how to do this operation."

"It doesn't matter if you don't know how to do it now, you can learn it slowly in the future. Sit here and watch. Separate and cut off the remaining bronchus. Don't touch the others. Is this okay?" Yang Ping told Director He. Director He thought about it and realized that he could do it himself, so he immediately became excited and said, "That's no problem."

Although it was just some simple operations, it was better than watching from the sidelines. At least I participated in the operation.

Although Director He is not very good at operating the da Vinci surgical robot, he has performed more than a hundred surgeries and is not a novice. Director He just doesn't know how to perform a lung transplant.

"We will complete this operation together today, and then I'll let you write the paper, how about that?" Yang Ping said lightly.

When Director He heard this, he was shocked. Is there such a good thing?

This is a pie in the sky! If Director He had not been a colleague who knew Professor Yang well, he would have been very happy to hear this great benefit. Could it be that he would be very happy to receive such a great benefit?

This is the first case in the world, and it is a Da Vinci robot surgery. Not to mention the value of this paper, when this surgery is brought to academic conferences, colleagues will look at it with admiration. It is the first case in the world, and its level and weight are self-evident.

Director He was still a little skeptical at this time and wanted to ask something, such as whether there were any prerequisites. Yang Ping pointed at the control panel and said, "Go and get used to it. Take your time. Don't rush."

Director He quickly sat in the operating room's main operating position at the control desk. The control console was separate from the operating room and was located outside the sterile area of ​​the operating room. The doctor used both hands to operate the two main controllers and used foot control pedals to control the robotic arm and the instruments at the end.

At the same time, the doctor wears a pair of special glasses through which he can see a clear three-dimensional image of the operating area. During the whole process, the tip of the surgical instrument moves synchronously with the surgeon's hands.

This design restores the synchronized rhythm of the doctor's eyes, instruments, and hands in open surgery to the greatest extent possible. This means that when performing surgery with the da Vinci surgical robot, the surgical robot can enable surgeons to be more dexterous than in open surgery.

The motion scaling function in the control system will minimize the natural tremor or unconscious movement of the doctor's hands, thereby further improving the accuracy and stability of surgical operations.

Director He positioned his hands and feet, and began to operate carefully, slowly separating a bronchus that had not yet been separated from the lung, and then cutting it at the position Yang Ping had just instructed. This meant the first part of the operation: the removal of both lungs of the patient was complete.

The next step was to clean the chest cavity to provide good conditions for the transplantation of the donor lungs. Director He knew that he was not qualified for the next step and consciously stopped the operation in his hands: "Professor Yang, you should do it."

"You sit next to me and be ready to replace me at any time. The two of us will be the surgeons for this operation. I have already greeted the circulating nurse and asked her to write our names on the surgeon's table." Yang Ping returned to his seat at the console and continued the operation.

At this moment in the operating room demonstration room, Yang Ping's surgery was broadcast live on a large high-definition screen. The coordination between several robotic arms was truly an art. The whole picture exuded a mechanical aesthetic. The robotic arms were flexible, stable, precise, and harmonious. Every movement and every operation was simply a divine operation.

"When do you think we can reach this level?" asked Director Fang of the General Surgery Department.

The chief physician next to him replied: "Just think about it."
