China News Service, July 31st (Reporter Chen Jing) The 17th National Conference on Laparoscopy and Endoscopic Surgery of the Chinese Medical Association is being held in Shanghai on the 31st.
Experts and scholars from many countries and regions exchanged and exchanged various cutting-edge concepts and technologies online and offline.
Zheng Minhua, a pioneer of minimally invasive surgery in China, member of the Standing Committee of the General Surgery Branch of the Chinese Medical Association, and leader of the laparoscopic and endoscopic surgery group, said in an interview that day, China's minimally invasive surgery has grown from scratch, and has advanced from the treatment of benign tumors to the treatment of malignant tumors. The field has now reached the international leading level, and even surpassed the level of European and American countries in gastric cancer, bowel cancer, liver cancer and pancreatic disease surgery.
In the second decade, China's minimally invasive surgery has fully entered the field of malignant tumor treatment, and how to standardize laparoscopic surgery has become the key to development.

The development of minimally invasive surgery requires innovation in technology and equipment.
Zheng Minhua, Director of General Surgery of Ruijin Hospital, revealed that the Minimally Invasive Surgery Department of Ruijin Hospital and the University of Shanghai for Science and Technology have jointly developed a robotic arm holding a mirror, using the principle of "naked-eye 3D" and eye tracking technology to precisely target the lens to the tumor area.
The robotic arm will maintain a stable image according to the surgeon's line of sight.
According to reports, after the completion of the product transformation, the mirror-holding robotic arm will become the surgeon's right-hand man.
During the interview, Zheng Minhua told reporters that face recognition technology is gradually being applied to laparoscopic surgery in minimally invasive surgery, which is more in line with the habits and needs of Chinese doctors to help identify malignant tumors and avoid missing lesions during surgery.
The expert told reporters that his hospital has established an innovative doctor club. Well-known experts from China and abroad regularly conduct online and offline exchanges and work with innovative companies to jointly develop new technologies.
Looking back on the 30-year history of the development of laparoscopic surgery in China, Zheng Minhua told reporters that in 1987, shortly after the advent of laparoscopic surgery, Zheng Minhua was selected to study in France and became one of the first Chinese doctors who mastered laparoscopic techniques.
In 1988, he successfully completed the first laparoscopic gallbladder removal operation in his career in France.
After returning to China, he took the lead in performing various laparoscopic surgeries.
In addition to popularizing laparoscopic technology in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Urology, Thoracic Surgery and other departments in Ruijin Hospital, Zheng Minhua's team is also promoting laparoscopic technology in remote areas in the west, so that more surgeons can gradually understand, accept and learn.
According to reports, in the second decade, China's minimally invasive surgery has fully entered the field of malignant tumor treatment, and how to standardize laparoscopic surgery has become the key to development; through the initial establishment of training bases and training systems, laparoscopic technology has been standardized and promoted. Zheng Minhua said: "In the past ten years, the development of minimally invasive surgery is changing from'technology is king' to'people-oriented', and more consideration should be given to the overall situation of the patient." Laparoscopic surgery has little physical impact on the patient. It recovers quickly and is more and more popular with patients. Single port, robotic surgery...Every iteration and update of equipment technology brings the development and progress of surgery technology. Nowadays, the “proportion of minimally invasive surgery” has become an objective indicator to measure the advancement of Chinese surgery. (Finish)
