China News Service, Chongqing, March 7 (Reporter Liu Xian) The third global multi-center remote collaborative operation to preserve the uterus public welfare action was held on the 7th in Liangjiang New District, Chongqing. Remote collaboration helped patients suffering from uterine fibroids, adenomyosis and other diseases. Women perform "non-invasive" focused ultrasound ablation.
The world's first cross-provincial 5G remote focused ultrasound ablation surgery was unveiled at the event.
After about 20 minutes, the operation, which spanned more than 1,000 kilometers, was successfully completed.
On the eve of International Women's Day, the State Key Laboratory of Ultrasound Medical Engineering, the National Engineering Research Center for Ultrasound Medicine, the International Society of Minimally Invasive Medicine, and the Haifu Micro-Non-Invasive Treatment Center of 147 hospitals around the world held this public welfare action with the theme of "Technology empowers Can care for women."
In 2021, the National Engineering Research Center for Ultrasound Medicine, Chongqing Haifu Medical, Chongqing Weihai Software Development Co., Ltd., and Chongqing Mobile jointly applied for a 5G+ medical and health application pilot project jointly organized by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology and the National Health Commission—— The construction of a teletherapy system based on 5G and focused ultrasound ablation technology.
On the same day, under the protection of the 5G network, the team of Professor Chen Wenzhi, chief medical officer of the National Engineering Research Center for Ultrasound Medical Care and chief medical expert of Chongqing Haifu Hospital, remotely connected to the Beiliu Maternal and Child Health Hospital of Guangxi through the Global Collaborative Service Center for Focused Ultrasound Ablation Surgery. The Haifudao focused ultrasound tumor treatment system of Fuwei Noninvasive Treatment Center, together with the medical team of Beiliu Maternal and Child Health Hospital, performed the world's first cross-provincial 5G remote focused ultrasound ablation for a female patient.
This move further promotes the integrated development of focused ultrasound ablation surgery and 5G, laying the foundation for future cross-regional and even transnational remote focused ultrasound ablation surgery.
Chen Wenzhi said that China's original focused ultrasound ablation surgery is a non-invasive surgery with no wounds and no bleeding. During the treatment process, the operation can be performed by operating a mouse. This type of surgery can be performed very easily with the cooperation of local medical staff and the low latency of 5G. The surgery was successfully completed.
During the public welfare activity that day, the Haifu Micro-Non-invasive Treatment Centers of 147 hospitals around the world met "at the same time and in different places" to conduct live broadcasts of cross-regional synchronous surgeries.
A number of experts in the minimally non-invasive field analyzed typical gynecological cases and put forward treatment recommendations, and monitored the surgical progress in real time through the Global Collaborative Service Center for Focused Ultrasound Ablation Surgery.
The Dominica China-Dominican Friendship Hospital located in the Eastern Caribbean Sea also responded to this public welfare activity. Due to the 12-hour time difference, related operations will be performed during working hours.
Professor Zhang Lian, president of Chongqing Haifu Hospital and head of the Global Collaborative Service Center for Focused Ultrasound Ablation Surgery, who is working under the guidance of the hospital, said that the significance of the establishment of the Global Collaborative Service Center for Focused Ultrasound Ablation Surgery is to realize online real-time connection of global Haifu doctors. , to achieve experience sharing, mutual exchange, and remote guidance to ensure the successful completion of each focused ultrasound ablation operation.
During the event, Lang Jinghe, academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering and honorary director of the Obstetrics and Gynecology Department of Peking Union Medical College Hospital, delivered a speech via video link.
He said that it is not only to treat diseases, but also to protect organs, tissues, functions, and spirits.
The future development direction of surgery is "minimally non-invasive".
"A surgeon puts down the scalpel", the development of science and technology shows that this wish can be realized, and Haifu has set an example.
"Focused ultrasound ablation technology is not only a surgical method, but also a concept - a patient-centered clinical treatment concept." Zhu Lan, director of the Obstetrics and Gynecology Department of Peking Union Medical College Hospital, said in her speech that the focus of Chongqing Haifu Ultrasound ablation technology is an original high-end medical technology in China. This technology provides a brand-new method for uterine preservation for patients with uterine fibroids.
The obstetrics and gynecology department of Peking Union Medical College Hospital will also carry out this technology.
Professor Wang Zhibiao, director of the State Key Laboratory of Ultrasound Medical Engineering and the National Engineering Research Center for Ultrasound Medicine, said that focused ultrasound has entered the "14th Five-Year Plan" Medical Equipment Industry Development Plan issued by ten departments.
Haifudao focused ultrasound tumor treatment system has reached the international advanced level and has become an important medical equipment manufacturing base in the world.
The public welfare activities for protecting the uterus will continue, so that more and more doctors realize that in addition to saving lives, they should also actively participate in health maintenance and disease prevention. Many women defend the uterus.
