Chapter 392 Five Million Dollars
After so long preparations, the finals of the Golden Knife Award have finally begun.
Robotic surgery is an emerging project that everyone is interested in.
Many doctors across the country have made arrangements to watch Yang Ping's live broadcast of robotic surgery.
At Sanbo Hospital, except for outpatient and emergency surgeries, almost all surgeons postponed elective surgeries and gathered in the hospital's large conference room to watch Yang Ping's surgery.
Some doctors from internal medicine and auxiliary departments also wanted to join in the fun and came over to watch the surgery.
All the hospital leaders were present and sitting 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 will win the championship.
"In Academician Feng's surgery last time, the tumor was from the upper cervical spinal cord to the medulla oblongata. Is this an operation that requires cooperation between orthopedics and neurosurgery? Xiao Yang can do it by himself? Can he also remove brainstem tumors?" Dean Xia asked the person next to him. Director Han.
He deliberately pulled Director Han to sit next to him, waiting for the operation, and asked Director Han to help explain it. After all, he was not an orthopedic surgeon.
"This is not an ordinary brainstem tumor that invades the vital center and has a success rate of less than one percent. The Sixth Hospital invited a few Americans to come for consultation. The director of neurosurgery at Mayo was also there. They didn't dare to operate. I I showed the film to Xiao Yang and he said he was 80% sure. I thought I heard it wrong, but I didn’t expect it to actually be taken. Didn’t you see that when he introduced his surgical plan at the consultation meeting of the Sixth Hospital, several people The Yankees surrounded him like students," Director Han said proudly.
"This guy, I asked him how sure he was of winning the championship, and he said 80%." Dean Xia said with a smile.
Director Han explained: "That means it is stable."
"You haven't heard anything about it, have you? How come I heard about the plan to poach people over at the First School?" Dean Xia was most worried about this.
"Don't worry, we can't dig it out. Lao Su and her daughter are here, how can he dig it out?" Director Han knew what he was doing.
"I heard that Xiehe will send someone to learn Xiao Yang's surgery?" Dean Xia was very concerned.
"Yes, Academician Liang called me several times. We need to send several groups of people to study in turn. We also need to send people from 301." Director Han replied.
"Our Sanbo has grown a lot of faces this time, and I, as the dean, am quite interesting. Old Han, you have to be careful and don't let them poach people away. Xiehe and 301 are the best platforms in the country. These people are so stupid." Very, no mercy when it comes to poaching people.”
"Xiehe is a bit gentler, but I'm afraid that 301 will poach the young couple together, or even a team, and directly use special tactics to give them military status and ranks, which will be troublesome."
The more Dean Xia thought about it, the more worried he became.
Director Han was not afraid: "Xiao Yang doesn't care about these things. He cares most about being able to work freely. Let's find a way to help Xiao Yang get promoted to deputy senior officer." Director Han discussed with Dean Xia.
Dean Xia said: "I am also thinking about this matter."
Director Han thought for a while and then said: "Lao Xia, I'm thinking, if Xiao Yang is in this situation, should we help him build a surgical institute so that he can study patients across disciplines? That's what I think, this kind of genius, I'm afraid the ordinary model will constrain him. We need to break the rules and let him develop his talents freely. Don't limit him to orthopedics. Let him do tumors, heart, and brain. Whatever is difficult, let him do it."
These words touched Dean Xia's heart: "Old Han, I was just wanting to discuss this with you. This kind of approach has never been done before in the country and is rare in the world. Because of this, other hospitals cannot provide this kind of conditions, but we do , give it decisively, this research institute must be built, and it will be built on the basis of your comprehensive orthopedics. Also, scientific research funds, our hospital must establish a special fund for it, and rely on the project to make that little money, drizzle, it is useless, We want to establish a scientific research fund that can accept social donations, and I will do this.”
The two of them lowered their heads and chatted. Dean Xia kept writing in his notebook from time to time, telling Director Han: "A good memory is not as good as a bad pen. I remember everything. If I complete a thing, I will check it and I won't write a bad check."
While chatting, the operation started.
There are several hospitals with the highest number of robotic surgeries in the country. Contestants from these hospitals have been aggrieved. They feel that robotic surgeries are ranked last, leaving their strengths nowhere to be used. If robotic surgeries are ranked at the front, 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 was not up to par. He is now waiting for Yang Ping's surgery to start.
The first patient was a 45-year-old male with severe congenital malformation of the atlantoaxial spine and skull base depression.
This patient was transferred to many hospitals, and no one else dared to do surgery.
Yang Ping scanned the CT images 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 place the screws.
There is only one channel on the left side, close to the vertebral artery and spinal cord. This channel only has a 4 mm wide nail track.
According to common sense, the precision requirements of this operation completely exceed human capabilities.
No wonder people are unwilling to accept that this is the only channel for setting nails. If a mistake is made, it will lead to death or disability.
If Yang Ping uses traditional methods to do it, it can be done, but with advanced tools like robots, it will be easier. Moreover, the start-up fee is free during the competition and does not increase the financial burden of the patient. Why not use better tools. The position of the robot was set, Song Zimo disinfected and spread the sheets, and with the assistance of the circulating nurse, he put a sterile protective film on the robotic arm, and then installed an antenna-tracer in the surgical area, which was paired with the robot's tracer, and Yang Ping brushed his hands. Go on stage and the operation begins.
The C-arm scans the patient's three-dimensional image, and the image is simultaneously transmitted to the orthopedic 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 channel, and then the entry point, direction and length were calculated.
The robotic arm accurately positions the surgical tool to the surgical location, and the sleeve points to the nail entry point of the target nail channel.
The guide pin is drilled along the sleeve and inserted into the patient's vertebra. After confirming that the position is correct, a 4 mm diameter hollow screw is inserted into the guide pin, screwed along the guide pin until 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 4 mm are inserted into the only 4 mm screw channel without any error.
The entire operation was as clean and neat as a missile carrying out precise bombing, aiming, launching, navigating, and hitting—all in one go, with every detail, and it was completed in 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 tumors in the skull will be removed without a craniotomy. All you need to do is drill a small hole, or enter the skull from the nasal cavity, extend a few small robotic arms in, completely remove the tumor, and then put 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 completed by doctors controlling robots, especially battlefield first aid. Doctors can perform remote operations on patients on the front line from behind.
Moreover, this kind of surgery consumes very little physical energy on the doctor. Even in special emergencies, a skilled doctor can perform several surgeries at the same time.
Immediately afterwards, cervical spine fractures, thoracic spine fractures, lumbar spine fractures were fixed with pedicle screws, and sacroiliac screws were placed for sacroiliac joint separation.
Several joints of the robotic arm move quickly, and the terminal equipment operates accurately, fully exerting the limits of the machine. Five operations were completed in succession.
The proficiency of this kind of robot control is jaw-dropping. The robotic arm has gone far beyond the meaning of a tool. It has truly become an extension of the doctor's hands, achieving the state of integration of man and machine.
Watching Yang Ping's robotic surgery is a kind of enjoyment and full of artistic charm.
Zheng Huahua's final grievance was put away. He felt that the process of being eliminated was too rough. It was because his level was too far behind his.
Just like playing table tennis, the gap between the two is too big, and the losing side will always feel that it has not performed to its level.
If the first season had been robotic surgery, no matter who met Yang Ping, they would still be eliminated.
Su Nanchen was naturally defeated by Yang Ping and only finished second, but he was already very satisfied.
This year's Golden Knife Award has come to an end, with Yang Ping as the champion and Su Nanchen as the runner-up. Wen Rentao defeated Zheng Huahua and won the third place.
The shrewd Johannessen asked for an account on the Golden Knife Award website from a Chinese doctor who was studying at Mayo Clinic, and repeatedly studied Yang Ping's surgery.
Even though he focuses on cranial surgery, he is also very interested in Yang Ping's spine 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 number.
Moreover, the professor also signed a commitment letter seriously, stating that the account would only be used to watch surgeries and would never do anything that would violate the law.
Videos of Da Vinci's Dance and the Painting of Dimensions quickly spread in WeChat Moments.
Mayo's Chinese doctor obtained the video and sent it to Johannesson.
Da Vinci's Dance, Johannessen could not figure out how these four robotic arms could complete the interlacing, shuttle and entanglement in a small bottle without colliding with each other.
If you use four machines to operate a grape, they will all collide. The space is too small, not to mention the speed is so fast. This is already the limit speed of the machine.
No matter what technology, in the hands of Dr. Yang, it can be used to its limit.
"For this video, Intuition Company should pay Dr. Yang at least five million US dollars!" Johannessen felt.
Johannesson uploaded the video to his own online community, which currently has only three members.
