Chapter 3745 【3745】Superman's Assertion

"Senior Sister Xie was talking about TECAB, completely endoscopic robot-assisted coronary artery bypass grafting." Mi Wenlin recounted his memories verbatim and translated what the senior sister said, with a sense of surprise in his tone.

A group of junior sisters and juniors who are followers 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 want to talk about Z, another famous robot company in the world that is as famous as Company B. Company Z’s robots can also perform beating heart coronary artery bypass surgery MIDCAB, and robotic minimally invasive direct coronary artery bypass surgery. As the name suggests, the robot only performs part of the surgical procedure and does not perform full endoscopic surgery.

Based on this, it can be inferred how difficult TECAB is.

What is difficult about 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 as a partial surgical assistant rather than full thoracoscopy.

Where do these doctors use laparoscopy to assist and where do they not assist? Which part of the surgery 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 has many advantages over traditional surgery when collecting the internal mammary artery. 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 simplify it, 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 is it easier to operate under difficult lighting with a "long stick" and adjust the "mirror" left and right?

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 so why pursue full endoscopic surgery?

Totally 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 inevitably requires doctors to Will use "thick" fingers to operate.

It makes sense to design the robot well so that doctors can do TECAB.

If their team can really do it, it must be on par with company B's technology and rank first in the world.

He dare not dream of such a dream, the first goal is at most to set up a MIDCAB to catch up with the second Z company.

"You said that you can choose more complicated surgical cases?" Ren Zhelun was sure if he had heard correctly.

Junior Sister Wan Wan, a superwoman, told him that we can catch up with Company B and make more complicated TECAB? !

It was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop. A large group of people who held their breath were no different from Big Brother Ren in mentality, 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.

His boss, Mr. Zhang, called him: "You bring Xie Wanying down to my office. Director Fang brought a medical record."

Thank you for your support! ! ! Good night, dears~
