¡°What Sister Xie was talking about just now was TECAB, completely endoscopic robot-assisted coronary artery bypass grafting.¡± Mi Wenlin recounted his memories verbatim and translated what the senior said, with a full sense of surprise in his tone.
A group of fellow juniors and juniors have done their homework in private, so they know that currently the only robots in the world that can do TECAB are Company B's robots, and TECAB is Company B's unique skill.
If you can fully 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 would like to talk about Z, another famous robot company in the world that is as famous as Company B. Company Z's robot can also perform beating heart coronary artery bypass surgery MIDCAB, and the robot can perform minimally invasive direct coronary artery bypass surgery.
Technique. As the name suggests, the robot only performs part of the surgical procedure and does not perform full endoscopic surgery.
Based on this, we can infer how difficult TECAB is.
What is the difficulty with TECAB? Let¡¯s make a comparison with the thoracoscope, the predecessor of the surgical robot.
When using thoracoscopy for coronary artery bypass grafting, many doctors also prefer to use thoracoscopy to assist partial surgery rather than full thoracoscopy.
Where do these doctors use laparoscopy to assist and where do they not assist? Which part of the operation is involved? We have said before that the best "bridge" in the human body for coronary artery bypass grafting is the internal mammary artery. In traditional surgery, harvesting of the internal mammary artery requires a midline incision to split the sternum. Laparoscopic technology: thoracoscope or surgical robot collects intrabreast movement
Compared with traditional surgery, pulse surgery has many advantages. It does not require chopping the sternum, which is beneficial to the patient and convenient for the doctor.
Therefore, endoscopic technical assistance is primarily focused on this part of the surgical procedure.
Why don¡¯t doctors like to use laparoscopy to complete the following bypass surgery? The heart is an irregular arc-shaped sphere. To put it simply, think of it as an egg. 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 left and right of the "mirror"
??Is it easy to operate under difficult illumination while adjusting?
?Obviously the former is easier.
Not to mention that bypass surgery can now also be performed with small incisions, which does not leave large scars on the patient and is convenient for podiatrists.
If this is the case, why pursue total endoscopic surgery? Fully endoscopic surgery can enlarge the surgical field of view several times that of traditional surgery. This allows doctors to perform extremely precise and detailed surgeries with minimal trauma. This is something that surgery under direct vision cannot do. Surgery under direct vision will inevitably cause complications.
Students will use "thick" fingers to operate.
It makes sense to design the robot well so that doctors can perform TECAB.
If their team can really achieve this, it will definitely be the best in the world with company B¡¯s technology.
He would not dare to dream of such a dream. The first goal is to catch up with the second company Z and become a MIDCAB.
"You said you can choose more complex surgical cases?" Ren Zhelun made sure his ears heard correctly.
Junior Sister Wanwan, the superwoman, told him that we can catch up with Company B and make more complex TECAB? !
It was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop on the ground. A large group of people holding their breath had the same mentality as Boss Ren, and were too shocked to express.
Xie Wanying didn¡¯t have time to open her mouth to answer Senior Brother Ren¡¯s question.
Ring ring ring cell phone ring.
Ren Zhelun took out his mobile phone from the pocket of his white coat. Boss Zhang called him: "Bring Xie Wanying down to my office. Director Fang brought a medical record." (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
