Patient Ali is 46 years old, 10 years ago Yin ultrasound examination found uterine fibroids, because the fibroids are small, no special discomfort, did not care. Recently, Ali had an uncomfortable feeling of abdominal distention and came to the gynecological clinic of Sanya Women and Children's Hospital, |, Hainan Hospital, Shanghai Children's Medical Center. The examination found that Ali suffered from uterine fibroids of about 10 centimeters and continued to grow, and the uterus was as big as four months of pregnancy. Considering that Ali was nearly menopausal and her myoma was huge and type I submucous myoma, hysterectomy was recommended after full communication.
"The patient's uterine fibroids are huge, occupying most of the pelvic cavity, the choice of traditional open surgery trauma is larger, and will leave obvious scars, if the choice of laparoscopic minimally invasive surgery, its limitations and easy to cause surgical blindness." On the other hand, robot-assisted surgery has the advantages of less trauma, less bleeding and faster recovery." After discussion and communication with experts from Shanghai First Maternal and Infant Health Hospital, Hainan Hospital of Shanghai Children's Medical Center | Sanya Women and Children's Hospital finally decided to use domestic four-arm laparoscopic surgery robot to perform minimally invasive surgery on Ali.
"We will protect women's beauty while ensuring treatment results and improve patients' quality of life." Liu Na, executive director of the gynecology department of Shanghai First Maternal and Infant Health Hospital, said that the domestic surgical robot has an advanced imaging system, which can provide a high-definition field of view with 10 times optical magnification and realize naked eye 3D imaging. The robotic arm system for performing surgical operations has 7 degrees of freedom, which can stably filter out the physiological tremor of the surgeon. The wrist-rotating surgical instruments provide unmatched stability and accuracy of the human hand, and can assist the surgeon to complete a variety of difficult operations in the narrow cavity, which is helpful for doctors to give full play to their own surgical skills and skills, and complete fine and difficult complex operations.
With the assistance of domestic surgical robots, the medical team patiently, meticulously and accurately completed surgical operations such as ionization, electrocoagulation, excision and suture to minimize intraoperative bleeding. The whole operation lasted nearly five hours, and the weight of the removed uterus was 560g, about 11 times larger than the normal uterus. On the first day after surgery, Ali was able to get out of bed with the support of her family members and is recovering well.
"In the field of gynecology, surgical robots have been fully able to assist doctors to carry out surgical treatment such as hysterectomy and pelvic floor function repair of diseases such as uterine prolapse, which has greatly improved the diagnosis and treatment level of gynecological diseases and benefited patients." Guo Xiaoqing, director of gynecologic oncology Department of Shanghai First Maternity and Infant Health Hospital, said robot-assisted surgery has become one of the most eye-catching emerging technologies in the field of modern medicine, with the advantages of surgical treatment precision, high efficiency and low risk, and is being understood and accepted by more and more doctors and patients.
"In order to further promote the sinking of high-quality medical resources, the Shanghai First Maternal and Infant Health Hospital is actively deploying a remote robotic surgery platform." In the future, experts from Shanghai will be able to perform remote surgeries for Sanya patients locally, which will further accelerate the process of medical homogenization between Sanya and Shanghai, and help the health of Hainan residents." The relevant person in charge of Sanya Women and Children's Hospital said that in the next step, we will make full use of domestic surgical robots and other equipment to carry out more intelligent, digital and information-based medical services to better meet the needs of doctors and patients for higher level and more diversified medical services.
