After Zhao Yuan completed his ward rounds, he rushed to the multi-functional lecture hall to attend an academic conference on neurosurgery.
After Liu Sha saw Zhao Yuan, she led him to the front row and sat down.
Several doctors around him took the initiative to greet Zhao Yuan.
Zhao Yuan only met them once, but they were deeply impressed by Zhao Yuan.
The meeting was chaired by Shan Zhenyu, and the central committee of the Taiwan Affairs Office held a joint discussion with top domestic experts.
Several experts took Zhao Yuan's nighttime surgery as an example to imagine the future development of neurosurgery, and led to several trends.
One of the topics is quite special, regarding the application of surgical robots in the field of neurosurgery.
Experts from the old school believe that despite the rapid development of surgical robots, there is still a long way to go, and for a long time, they can only play an auxiliary role.
A new group of experts believe that the development and application of surgical robots will have a great subversive effect on the industry with the rise of intelligence. In the future, doctors will become assistants, and robots will be the protagonists.
Everyone held their own opinions and the atmosphere of the meeting was very lively.
Liu Sha glanced at Zhao Yuan beside her and asked softly, "Which side do you support?"
Zhao Yuan thought for a while and answered with a smile, "I think the application of robots in the medical field will become more and more common. This is an unstoppable trend. The profession of doctors will not be completely replaced, but the role of doctors must be changed from a leader to a leader."
Become a guide. We need to inspire robots to be better at performing surgeries."
Liu Sha glanced at Zhao Yuan in surprise, "If one day, robots can perform any surgery, wouldn't what we learn be in vain?"
Zhao Yuan said with a smile, "When robots can do more and more things, we have to change our roles and become trainers of robots so that they can continuously improve their strength. Human power is too small. We have too much knowledge about diseases.
Insufficient. When more tools appear, we should not exclude them, but should be inclusive."
Liu Sha lamented, "These experts compare you with robots and believe that people can achieve accuracy through continuous practice. Some even suggested that you have a competition with robots."
Zhao Yuan burst into laughter, "This idea is so ridiculous! Robots cannot operate autonomously. In the final analysis, humans should control robots to perform surgeries. The accuracy may be higher, but during the surgery, humans still need to make judgments and choices. In fact, humans are still required to make judgments and choices.
It’s more like an exoskeleton, not really a robot.”
Liu Sha glanced at Zhao Yuan in surprise, "Do you think you can win?"
Zhao Yuan smiled faintly and did not answer directly.
He may lose in the future, but at this stage, Zhao Yuan has a certain degree of certainty.
The application of robots has not been fully popularized around the world, and some complex surgeries are actually not as good as those performed by mature doctors.
Nowadays, orthopedic robots are more commonly used.
Very few hospitals in China will introduce orthopedic robots for surgery, and most of them are just a pretense and a means of publicity.
As for neurosurgery and cardiac surgery, there are only a handful of domestic teams researching robotic surgery.
Tianhua has a robotic surgery team, which is in the experimental stage.
However, people must have foresight!
Maybe one day the technology will break through the bottleneck, the procedures will be simplified, and it will be easier to operate!
Just like in the 1990s, it was unbelievable to have people talking on the phone upstairs and downstairs. Who would have thought that thirty years later, an old lady in her seventies would skillfully scan a code to pay with her smartphone?
After the meeting, Shan Zhenyu walked towards Zhao Yuan with a powerful figure.
"This is the surgeon in charge of that operation, Zhao Yuan, the deputy chief physician of the emergency surgery department of our hospital." Shan Zhenyu was very proud when he introduced Zhao Yuan.
Zhao Yuan quickly took the initiative to say hello, "Hello, Professor Ouyang!"
Ouyang Long smiled and said, "It's a pity that I couldn't see the operation with my own eyes. However, I watched the video of the operation carefully. Your basic skills are very solid, which fully proves that surgeons can reach a very high level through practice."
Zhao Yuan knew Ouyang Long's point of view and insisted on putting people first, putting the role of surgical robots second.
Zhao Yuan smiled and said, "Thank you for your compliment. I know that I still have many shortcomings and I have to work harder."
Seeing Zhao Yuan being so humble and polite, Ouyang Long admired him even more. He smiled with Shan Zhenyu and said, "You Tianhua has such outstanding young people, and the future is promising. It is said that your Tianhua is not good at cultivating talents and does not pay attention to young people."
Development is completely nonsense.”
Ouyang Long is a leader in neurosurgery in China.
The surgeon serves young people. Because of his age, he rarely performs operations, but he has rich experience and many disciples.
Shan Zhenyu invited Ouyang Long here to strengthen the department's talent pool.
Shan Zhenyu smiled and said, "Our young people are still too young and need more guidance from seniors like you."
Ouyang Long glanced at Zhao Yuan again and smiled faintly, "Don't underestimate young people. He is more energetic than us old guys, and his vision and structure are broader."
When Zhao Yuan heard what Ouyang Long said, he felt a little more admiration in his heart.
"Xiao Zhao, as a young man, you should learn more, especially in new fields. Although everyone says that your level is very high and your accuracy is comparable to that of a robot. But don't get lost because of these words. You must know that there is definitely a gap between humans and machines.
If you have the opportunity, you will study robotic surgery. I believe that with your learning ability and good foundation, you will be able to master it soon."
Although on the forum, Ouyang Long’s view is that doctors are more important than surgical robots.
But Ouyang Long knew in his heart that surgical robots would play an irreplaceable role in the future.
Ouyang Long has rational judgment, forward-looking vision, and broad mind.
Zhao Yuan was filled with admiration, "Thank you for your teaching, I will definitely work harder."
Ouyang Long glanced at the man next to him and introduced with a smile, "He is my student, his name is Ding Pengcheng."
Ding Pengcheng, wearing glasses and a suit, was polite and extended his hand actively.
Zhao Yuan shook it quickly.
Shan Zhenyu and Zhao Yuan introduced Ding Pengcheng's identity, "Pengcheng has just returned from abroad and brought back a team focused on developing neurosurgery robots."
Zhao Yuan's eyes showed admiration, "Hello, Mr. Ding!"
Ding Pengcheng said with a smile, "Today is an eye-opener for me. I didn't expect that doctors can perform surgeries as accurately as robots."
Zhao Yuan said modestly, "As Senior Ouyang said, I still have many shortcomings."
Ding Pengcheng smiled and nodded, "When our products come out, I hope you can come to inspect and experience them!"
Zhao Yuandao: "That's my honor!"
After the meeting, everyone returned to the hotel for dinner.
Shan Zhenyu invited Zhao Yuan to go with him, but Zhao Yuan refused with a smile.
Shan Zhenyu knew Zhao Yuan's character and was tactful, but all he could think about was surgery and he didn't like to waste time on socializing.
Before Zhao Yuan said goodbye to everyone, he found Liu Sha and said softly: "I brought a gift from Ruina and will give it to you later."
"Well, thank you!"
Liu Sha's cheeks instantly became hot.
She took a deep look at Zhao Yuan, and then quickly ran into the crowd.
