China News Service, Nanjing, April 4 (Xu Shanshan correspondent Sun Qian) Jiangsu Provincial Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine reported on the 4th that the fourth-generation "Da Vinci" surgical robot of the hospital has "returned to work". With the successful end of a rectal cancer operation, the patient Mr. Jin was pushed out of the operating room, and the "Da Vinci" surgical robot completed its "100 Taiwan Show".
The 65-year-old patient, Mr. Jin, comes from Pukou District, Nanjing. A colonoscopy was performed at a local hospital for half a year due to blood in the stool. The result showed that there was a mass of about 5 cm in the rectum, and the pathological diagnosis was rectal cancer. After a comprehensive evaluation, combined with the illness and the wishes of the family, in order to ensure more accurate surgery, Jiang Zhiwei, vice president of Jiangsu Provincial Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine and director of general surgery, decided to implement the "Da Vinci" robotic surgery.
During the operation, Jiang Zhiwei sat in front of the center console not far from the surgical robot, and manipulated the "Da Vinci" surgical robot with his fingers and feet. After receiving the instruction, the robot's four mechanical arms perform their duties, performing abdominal hole drilling, probe insertion, flipping and shearing ... The operation took about 2 hours, and there was almost no bleeding during the operation. After the operation, the patient recovered smoothly and the pain was very light, and he could walk down and eat fluids on the first day after the operation.

Due to the small trauma of robotic surgery and the application of the concept of accelerated rehabilitation surgery, perioperative procedures such as multi-mode analgesia, early eating, early activity, getting rid of unnecessary nasogastric tubes, and reasonable control of infusion volume, etc. Discharged after 5 or 6 days, the fastest postoperative day after recovery was discharged, while it used to take an average of 10 to 14 days to be discharged.
Since the official "post" on November 20 last year, the surgical robot system has played a great advantage in the field of general surgery and urology of the hospital.
"The robot not only broke through the limitations of the human eye, liberated the hands of the doctor, but also greatly reduced the degree of trauma of the patient, greatly reduced the occurrence of complications such as bleeding and pain, and improved the quality of life of the patient after surgery. It will be the future. A major trend in the development of surgery. "Jiang Zhiwei said.
Zhu Qingyi, director of the Department of Urology, Jiangsu Provincial Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine, introduced that the robot combines the flexibility of the hand with the minimally invasive advantages of the laparoscopic system, which can perform more precise operations in a narrow space. The blood vessels can be seen at a glance.
Robot surgery has very strict qualification requirements for operating doctors. The operating medical personnel must go to the "Da Vinci" robot training base for training and obtain a training certificate before they can get an operating "license." Jiangsu Provincial Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine stated that it will carry out intensive and rigorous related training in the future, and will carry out robotic surgery in more fields in the future to benefit patients.
