[Explanation] Recently, a team of vascular surgery experts from Southwest Hospital of Army Medical University successfully completed the first domestic da Vinci surgery robot-assisted reconstruction of abdominal aortic aneurysm with artificial blood vessels.

The success of this operation fills the gap in this field in China.

　　[Explanation] It is understood that Ms. Yu from Chongqing is 39 years old this year. She found that there was an obvious mass in her abdomen, and she would vibrate regularly like a pulse.

She came to the Department of Vascular Surgery of Southwest Hospital and was diagnosed with abdominal aortic aneurysm. Because of the tumor, the maximum diameter of Ms. Yu's abdominal aorta has reached 3.9cm, which is three times that of the normal abdominal aorta. At the same time, Ms. Yu has Bilateral bilateral iliac aneurysms.

　　Abdominal aortic aneurysm is a time bomb in the human body. Once ruptured, it will lead to hemorrhagic shock and cause fatal consequences. Surgery is the only way to prevent its rupture and carry out effective treatment.

　　[Explanation] In view of the patient's condition, the vascular surgery team believes that the patient is relatively young. In order to avoid complications such as infection, displacement and fracture caused by endovascular stents, the team decided to use the Da Vinci surgical robotic surgical system for abdominal aortic aneurysm resection. , Artificial vascular reconstruction.

This type of surgery has not been performed in the country before.

　　However, open surgery is traumatic and the recovery is slow. Now we have a new weapon, the Da Vinci surgical robot, because its arm has 7 degrees of freedom and can rotate 540 degrees, which is more flexible than our human hands, especially It is very flexible and lightweight when anastomotic blood vessels are sutured. After anastomosis, we found no blood leakage, and the entire blood vessels were very smooth.

　　[Explanation] After treatment, Ms. Yu has recovered and been discharged from the hospital.
