"The repair of hand trauma caused by work is decreasing, and the repair of traffic accidents and tumor surgery is increasing." On November 6th, the 7th Academic Conference of Guangdong Society of Restorative and Reconstructive Surgery and the 2nd "Peace Forum" Symposium on Special Types of Wound Restoration were held. Yangcheng Evening News reporter learned from the meeting that the level of restoration and reconstruction in Guangdong is at the forefront of the country, and with the changes in economic development and lifestyle, the population of repair and reconstruction patients is also quietly changing.
From focusing on "survival" and "appearance" to focusing on "function" and "beauty"
Restorative and reconstructive surgery is still unfamiliar to many readers. Huang Dong, chairman of the Guangdong Society of Restorative and Reconstructive Surgery and president of Guangzhou Heping Orthopaedic Hospital, introduced that restorative and reconstructive surgery is an emerging comprehensive discipline, covering microsurgery, digital surgery, tissue engineering technology and other cutting-edge disciplines.
Repair and reconstruction surgery is the means of surgery or tissue transplantation, repairing and reconstructing the defects and deformities of human tissues and organs, as well as the reshaping of normal human forms, so as to achieve morphological improvement and beautification and functional reconstruction. Common diseases are: bone and joint injuries, deformities, organ and soft tissue defects, peripheral nerve injuries, sports injuries, etc. Repair and reconstruction is to help these patients "not be injured, the disabled are not wasted".
Huang Dong introduced that in recent years, with the leap forward in the fields related to repair and reconstruction surgery such as anatomy, digital medicine, 3D printing, etc., the repair and reconstruction surgery has crossed from the previous "saving lives and limbs" and "paying attention to the shape" to "repairing the shape of the tissue, while paying attention to the damage of the donor, but also to restore the good function of the reconstructed part".
Jiang Jiyong, director of the fifth district of trauma microsurgery at Guangzhou Pingbing Bone Hospital, added that repair and reconstruction surgery is also developing from "microscopy" to "super microscopy", such as the thickness of a small arthroscope is only two millimeters, and the humanistic care for patients in surgery is also increasing. For example, female patients need to take a flap to transplant to the site that needs to be repaired and reconstructed, as for where to take the flap, it was previously considered that the patient could not see the scar when wearing clothes, and now it is considered that the patient will not see the obvious scar when wearing the bikini in the future, which means that the location is more hidden.
Guangdong is at the forefront of the country, and the patient group has quietly changed
Huang Dong introduced that Guangdong Province's restoration and reconstruction related majors are widespread, the development is very fast, the mass base is good, the related professions are vigorously developing in different hospitals, and the various majors of restoration and reconstruction surgery in Guangdong Province are at the forefront of the country regardless of the scale or level of development, and their development has greatly promoted the joint development of plastic surgery, orthopedics, hand surgery, trauma surgery, oral and maxillofacial surgery and other multidisciplinary development, and also promoted the progress of the national restoration and reconstruction surgery.
Jiang Jiyong introduced that in the past industrial production process, hand trauma caused by improper operation accounted for 60%-70% of the population of repair and reconstruction patients, and now with the advancement of industrial equipment and production technology, the incidence of hand trauma is significantly lower than before, accounting for about 30%.
However, in recent years, with the development of transportation, changes in travel patterns, especially the significant increase in the number of electric bicycle drivers, traffic accidents have led to a significant increase in the number of patients who need to be repaired and reconstructed. In addition, environmental factors and dietary habits adjustment, the number of cases that need to be reconstructed after some tumor surgery is also rising, such as oral cancer caused by chewing betel nut, patients save their lives after surgery, but the recovery of appearance and function is still inseparable from repair and reconstruction surgery.
The conference was jointly sponsored by the Guangdong Society of Restorative and Reconstructive Surgery and the Guangdong Medical Industry Association, and hosted by Guangzhou Peace Orthopaedic Hospital, and more than 200 experts and scholars from all over the country such as reconstructive and reconstructive surgery, hand surgery and orthopedics attended the meeting.
Recently, Guangzhou Heping Orthopaedic Hospital was identified as "Chinese Medical Doctor Association Microsurgery Skills Training Center". At the meeting, the unveiling ceremony of the Microsurgery Skills Training Center was held. Professor Zhao Dewei, President of the Microsurgery Branch of the Chinese Medical Doctor Association, Professor Lao Jie, Chairman of the Hand Surgery Society of the Chinese Medical Association, and other expert leaders jointly inaugurated the Microsurgery Skills Training Center.
As early as 1998, Guangzhou Peace Orthopaedic Hospital successfully carried out the first case of reimplantation of ten fingers in Guangdong Province and the twelfth case of ten fingers in the world, and reached the advanced level at home and abroad in the replantation of broken fingers (limbs), micro-repair, chronic wound repair, and deformity correction in successive days, and was unanimously recognized by peers in the replantation of complex and serious and rare cases such as broken finger replantation, fingertip detachment reimplantation, multi-segment separation and replantation of fingers, and replantation of ten fingers of both hands. It also ranks among the best in the province in terms of finger reconstruction and free flap transplant surgery.
The inauguration of the Microsurgery Skills Training Center of Guangzhou Peace Orthopaedic Hospital fully demonstrates that the hospital's work achievements and technological innovation in the field of microsurgery over the years have been recognized by industry experts across the country.
