On February 17, the team of Professor Zhong Zhixiong of Meizhou People's Hospital independently completed the first robot-assisted coronary interventional surgery in Guangdong, successfully treating a 64-year-old male patient, achieving a technological breakthrough in the treatment of coronary heart disease and entering the domestic advanced ranks.
The surgical operation is performed with sub-millimeter precision
Zhong Zhixiong operates the rapid feed mode of the R-ONETM robot guide wire control handle, the guide wire quickly reaches the lesion position, and after the balloon is pre-expanded, it then fine-adjusts the position of the bracket to accurately release and cover the lesion through the submillimeter step of the slow feed mode. The entire procedure lasts about 30 minutes and is very precise and efficient.
The most critical thing in interventional treatment is precision and standardization, compared with the traditional coronary interventional treatment surgery, the robot effectively improves the surgical accuracy depends on the experience of the surgeon, and the shortcomings of different people, so that no matter which doctor treats, patients can get assured treatment.
Reduce radiation to better protect the surgeon
Most of the operations of the surgeon only need to be completed through the operator table, which liberates the body and hands of the practitioner well, greatly reduces the X-ray radiation received by the surgeon, makes it obtain a healthy working environment, and prolongs the career.
"In short, robotic surgery improves surgical accuracy, surgical quality and surgical results, reduces surgical complications, reduces X-ray radiation, and benefits both surgeons and patients." And because the learning curve is short, it is conducive to popularization and promotion. Zhong Zhixiong said.
In the near future, seemingly sci-fi scenarios such as not wearing lead clothes and having surgery while drinking coffee will be very common.
