Chapter 973 Multi-Armed Thinking
Talent does exist, and it cannot be made up for by hard work. Director Fang understands this very well.
Therefore, if a person wants to succeed, if the direction of his efforts is highly consistent with his or her talents, the probability of success will be greater. However, if the direction of his or her efforts is not consistent with his or her talents, he may achieve half the result with twice the result, or simply get twice the result with twice the result.
"You're not bad, right? Now the Da Vinci surgical robot ranks among the top in the country in terms of the number of general surgery surgeries?"
The chief physician of the thoracic surgery department felt that what he just blurted out hurt the face of his colleagues, so he added another sentence to give his colleagues some comfort.
''Forget it, you can claim to be good in front of others, but how dare you say that you are good in front of Professor Yang. ”
Director Fang laughed at himself and stopped talking.
On the high-definition screen, several arms are performing operations such as incision, separation, suturing, and knotting extremely quickly. It stands to reason that the entire scene is dominated by just a few robotic arms, and the plot is monotonous. This should be boring, but the doctor in the demonstration classroom Each one of them was more focused than watching a blockbuster movie. Their eyes were focused on the screen. The entire venue was silent, and even the occasional communication was in a whisper.
One of the doctors took a video of the meeting and posted it on WeChat. It was about how so many people gathered together in the middle of the night to quietly watch an action movie starring several robotic arms. This kind of scene seemed strange and interesting. It was the only Romance that only doctors can have.
Some students who came late were extremely anxious and asked their colleagues in a low voice: "Da Vinci lung transplant? Where is it now?" When they learned about the progress of the operation, they felt extremely regretful and regretted that they came too late and did not see it. Complete surgical procedure.
The assistants Song Zimo and Xu Zhiliang on the operating table have completed the hilum trimming of the donor lung to make the edges of blood vessels and bronchi neat and of appropriate length so that they can smoothly anastomose with the patient's bronchi and blood vessels.
After processing the donor lungs, Song Zimo made an incision of about 8 centimeters on Ou Lianfeng's right intercostal space. Through this incision, the donor lungs were sent into Ou Lianfeng's chest. Although the lungs looked very big, they were quite large. For inflated balloons, once the air inside is exhausted, the soft lungs will be like deflated balloons, which can be easily inserted into the chest through this 8-centimeter incision.
For any organ transplant, the most important thing is the anastomosis of the blood vessels. Only when the quality of the vascular anastomosis is reliable can the transplanted organ obtain a good blood supply and survive. In lung transplantation, in addition to the vascular anastomosis, the trachea also needs anastomosis to allow the donor lungs to connect with the patient. The reserved bronchi are anastomosed together and assume the respiratory function after surgery.
For Yang Ping, when doing traditional surgery, he only had two hands, but when doing robotic surgery, he now has four hands. In addition to the robotic arm responsible for installing the lens, there are also three robotic arms that can work at any time. These three machines The arm acts completely according to its own consciousness, so the operation efficiency is much higher.
Yang Ping performs interrupted sutures on the cartilage of the bronchus, one stitch at a time, evenly and precisely. For suturing the pipes, Yang Ping always insists on using interrupted sutures instead of time-saving continuous sutures. Each stitch of interrupted sutures is independent and has Maximum reliability, reliability is the most important thing in medical work.
None of the three robotic arms took a break, not even a short rest. They were working all the time. Yang Ping's operation of the robotic arms has completely broken away from the traditional concept of two-hand operation. When other doctors used the Da Vinci surgical robot, they still didn't. Without the inherent concept of two-hand operation, it is difficult to fully utilize the maximum effectiveness of all robotic arms. When Yang Ping performs robotic surgery, he completely breaks away from human thinking of operating two arms and truly achieves multi-arm operation. The Da Vinci surgical robot has four robotic arms, one of which is equipped with a lens. It provides a field of view for surgery, so it is almost fixed during each surgical step. After completing a step, it can be moved to switch the field of view.
The remaining three robotic arms can all be used as working robotic arms. The working efficiency of three hands is not 1.5 times that of two hands, but many times.
On the current high-definition screen, the donor's bronchus is being anastomosed. There are three robotic arms. One robotic arm moves the suture needle in and out. The other robotic arm immediately catches the suture needle the moment it comes out. The third robotic arm The arms were immediately knotted, and the first freed robotic arm was connected to cut the thread. The connection of each movement was almost zero delay. These three robotic arms seemed to be an extension of Yang Ping's consciousness.
"Why is this surgery a bit weird? Why are the three robotic arms always moving at high speed? Shouldn't one of them be paused? At least, it is paused during certain operations. You said that the Da Vinci surgical robot only has two main controllers. , two pedals, how did Professor Yang mobilize all three robotic arms?”
Director Lu from the Department of Urology was also sitting next to Director Fang. His level of Da Vinci surgical robot was also very high, but he didn't understand how these three robotic arms could be used so skillfully.
Although Director Lu’s level of robotic surgery is high, he is not as good as Director Fang. Director Fang can be said to be the person at Sanbo Hospital who is the most proficient and understanding of the Da Vinci surgical robot besides Yang Ping. He sighed: “He and our The thinking is not at the same level at all. No matter how skilled we are with the surgical robot, we are always limited to two-arm thinking, and it is a multi-arm thinking.”
"What do you mean? Can you explain it more clearly? Don't make it so mysterious." Director Lu has also performed hundreds of surgeries using the Da Vinci robot. How come he has never heard of two-arm thinking and multi-arm thinking? these two concepts.
Director Fang smiled slightly. It seems that Director Fang is the second best in the robot surgery rankings of Sanbo Hospital. Director Lu actually doesn’t understand double-arm thinking and hidden-arm thinking. However, it is understandable. Director Lu has not gone to the surgical institute as many times. Director Fang had more communication with Yang Ping. This concept was proposed by Yang Ping, so Director Lu naturally didn't know about it.
Today, Director Fang plans to teach Director Lu: "Two-arm thinking is the innate thinking of human beings and the basis of human labor ability, because the duty of human hands is to work, and any labor operation is based on the cooperation of the left and right hands. , so since the invention of machines, the control of most machines is based on the cooperation of the left and right hands.”
"Although the Da Vinci robot has four robotic arms, most people only use two robotic arms to actually work during surgery. They also cooperate with the left and right hands. But Professor Yang is different. He uses the main controller, foot pedals, etc. The cooperation of the three robotic arms involved in the surgical operation is completely different from the cooperation mode of two hands, but the cooperation mode of three hands.”
"If you look carefully, every surgical operation performed by Professor Yang, such as suturing, knotting, and thread cutting, is completely different from ours, because the method we use is completely based on the two-arm model, while his method is based on the three-arm model. above.”
Director Lu suddenly realized: "Let me tell you, this method of tying knots and cutting threads seems a bit strange, and I can't understand it at all. All three robotic arms are working quickly, and none of them is resting. The three robotic arms don't know where they are. What are you doing? It’s been moving at high speed anyway, and the suturing of the bronchus is like a sewing machine, stitches popping out one after another.”
