The surgery to install a permanent pacemaker cannot be done through the interventional channels that have failed before, and a surgical procedure is required. Given the patient's advanced age, the family and the patient would definitely like to have a minimally invasive surgery.
"Maybe the family will come back to you to ask for your opinion."
After hearing what Zhang Da Lao said to her, Xie Wanying said frankly: "I think it may not be necessary."
Because she has already told the family what she should say, which is like a reminder. Family members like this who have too many channels for medical information don't need to ask her again.
Probably because he had heard something, Zhang Huayao narrowed his grey eyes and asked her, "Do you support patients undergoing robotic surgery?"
Support. Xie Wanying nodded.
Seeing her super fast reaction, Zhang Huayao's eyes flashed with surprise.
Most doctors are wary of various new technologies appearing in clinical practice. The reason is simple: they are afraid that new technologies will take away their jobs.
Boss Zhang knew her strengths very well, so he touched her chin to see if she 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 a little afraid that her technical advantages would be overwhelmed by new technologies. But then she thought, instead of being afraid, it would be better to embrace new technologies and master them faster than others.
Just like what Teacher Tan told her early in the morning, learning how to use the tools well is the most important thing for a surgeon.
In the future development trend of medicine, surgeons performing surgery with their bare hands will definitely be outdated, because surgeons' hands are too large compared to the size of the human body to perform minimally invasive surgeries.
For this reason, various types of laparoscopy are booming in the medical field, and the market demand from patients cannot be denied.
Laparoscopy is good, but it has its inevitable flaws. This has been mentioned in the 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. Many veteran doctors have never been able to perform laparoscopic surgery well.
This is the advantage of surgical robots over laparoscopic surgery. First of all, it can solve the unnatural eye-hand coordination problem of the doctor during surgery and make it natural.
Moreover, the images of laparoscopic surgery are 2D. When the surgical robot is used, the images seen by the surgeon are 3D, returning to the natural vision that the doctor can obtain with the naked eye in traditional surgery, and it can be magnified several times at any time.
At this point, you may be curious about what surgical robots are like. Are they like the humanoid robots in science fiction novels that stand beside the operating table and listen to the doctor's instructions to perform surgery on patients?
The so-called robot can never be a humanoid robot that is one-to-one with real people, because a humanoid robot that resembles a human cannot solve the problems of traditional surgery.
For images of surgical robots, you can refer to the scene in the movie Avatar where the male protagonist’s broken leg was treated. It is similar to a surgical robot: several robotic arms with surgical instruments at the tip, like a doctor holding a scalpel, needle, and forceps to perform surgery on a patient. These robotic arms holding surgical instruments are like the operating rods of a laparoscope, which enter the human body through the operating holes made on the surface of the patient’s body to operate.
From this description, we can see why surgical robots can solve the pain points of laparoscopic surgery, because they are obviously developed from laparoscopic thinking.
"The surgical robot can rotate its mechanical wrist 360 degrees at will, which is impossible for human hands," said Xie Wanying.
So why wouldn't she embrace this new "weapon" that could make her even more powerful?
