For the operation of installing a permanent pacemaker, interventional channels that have failed before cannot be used, and surgery is required. In view of the advanced age of the patient, family members and patients will definitely want to perform minimally invasive surgery on the patient.
"Maybe the family will come to you again to ask for your opinion."
After hearing Boss Zhang say this to her, Xie Wanying said frankly: "I think it may not be necessary."
Because she has said what needs to be said to the family members, which is considered as a reminder board. Family members who have too many medical information channels like this have no need to ask her again.
Perhaps he had heard something, Zhang Huayao narrowed his gray eyes and asked her: "Do you support patients undergoing robotic surgery?"
Support. Xie Wanying nodded.
Seeing how quickly she reacted, Zhang Huayao's eyes flashed with surprise.
Most doctors are wary of various new technologies that appear in clinical practice. The reason is simple: they are afraid that new technologies will take away their technical jobs.
Boss Zhang knew her advantages well, so he touched his chin to see if her face was pretending to be calm, wondering if she really understood the new technology.
At first, Xie Wanying was a little nervous. As mentioned before, she was also a little afraid that her technical advantages would be overwhelmed by new technologies. After thinking about it, instead of being afraid, it would be better to embrace new technologies and master them faster than others.
As Teacher Tan said to her early in the morning, learning how to use tools is the most important thing for a surgeon.
In the future development trend of medicine, it will be outdated for surgeons to perform operations with bare hands. Because the surgeon's hands are too large compared to the size of the human body, they cannot perform minimally invasive surgery.
For this reason, various types of laparoscopy are booming in the medical field, and the market demand of patients cannot be denied.
Although laparoscopy is good, it has its inevitable flaws. As mentioned in this article before, the threshold for practicing laparoscopy is high. For example, the doctor's eye-hand coordination in laparoscopic surgery is unnatural, which makes it difficult for many doctors to adapt, including many veteran doctors.
Laparoscopic surgery has always been difficult to perform.
The advantage of surgical robots over laparoscopic surgery is that first of all, it can solve the unnatural eye-hand coordination of doctors during surgery and make it natural.
Moreover, the picture of laparoscopic surgery is 2D. When it comes to the surgical robot, the picture seen by the surgeon is 3D, returning to the natural field of view that the doctor can obtain with the naked eye in traditional surgery and can be magnified several times at any time.
At this point, you may be curious, what does a surgical robot look like? For example, in science fiction novels, is there a humanoid robot that stands beside the operating table and listens to the doctor's instructions to perform surgery on the patient?
The so-called robot can never be a humanoid robot with a one-to-one ratio of a real person, because a humanoid robot that looks exactly like a human cannot solve the problems of traditional surgery.
Regarding the scene of the surgical robot, it is better to refer to the scene of the male protagonist treating a broken leg in the movie Avatar. It is almost the same as a surgical robot: several robotic arms with surgical instruments on the tips, such as a scalpel, needle, forceps, etc. in the doctor's hand.
Perform surgery on patients. These robotic arms that hold surgical instruments are like operating rods of a laparoscope and operate inside the human body through operating holes drilled on the surface of the patient's body.
From this description, we can see why surgical robots can solve the pain points of laparoscopic surgery, because it is obviously developed from the thinking of laparoscopic surgery.
"The surgical robot can rotate its mechanical wrist 360 degrees at will, which is impossible for human hands to do," Xie Wanying said.
So what reason does she have for not embracing new "weapons" that can give her even more power?
