Chapter 973 Multi-Armed Thinking
Talent does exist, and it cannot be compensated by hard work. Director Fang understands this very well.
So if a person wants to succeed, if the direction of his efforts is highly compatible with his talents, the probability of success will be greater. If the direction of his efforts is not compatible with his talents, he may get half the result with twice the effort or even no result with twice the effort.
"You are not bad either. The number of general surgery operations performed by the da Vinci surgical robot is among the top in the country, right?"
The chief physician of the thoracic surgery department felt that the words he just blurted out hurt his colleague's face, so he added another sentence to comfort his colleague.
"Forget it. You can claim to be good in front of others, but how dare you say that you are good in front of Professor Yang. "
Director Fang laughed at himself and stopped talking.
On the high-definition screen, several arms were performing cutting, separation, suturing, knotting and other operations at an extremely fast speed. Logically, there were only a few robotic arms starring in the whole scene, and the plot was monotonous, which should be boring, but the doctors in the demonstration room were more focused than watching a blockbuster movie, their eyes were focused on the screen, and the whole venue was silent, even the occasional communication was whispered.
One of the doctors took a video of the venue and posted it on WeChat Moments, saying that so many people gathered together in the middle of the night to quietly watch an action movie starring several robotic arms. This scene seemed strange and interesting, which was the romance that only doctors could have.
Some latecomers were extremely anxious and whispered to their colleagues: "Da Vinci lung transplant? What stage has it reached? "When I learned about the progress of the operation, I felt extremely regretful. I regretted that I came too late and did not see the complete operation process.
The assistants Song Zimo and Xu Zhiliang on the operating table had completed the hilum trimming of the donor lung, making the edges of the blood vessels and bronchi neat and of appropriate length so that they could be smoothly anastomosed with the patient's bronchi and blood vessels.
After processing the donor lung, Song Zimo made an incision of about 8 cm between Ou Lianfeng's right ribs. Through this incision, the donor lung was sent into Ou Lianfeng's chest cavity. Although the lung looked large, it was equivalent to a blown-up balloon. Once the air inside was exhausted, the soft lung was like a deflated balloon, and it was easy to send it into the chest cavity through this 8 cm incision.
For any organ transplant, the most important thing is the anastomosis of the blood vessels. Only when the blood vessels are anastomosed can the donor lung be transplanted. The quality of the combination is reliable, and the transplanted organ can obtain a good blood supply and survive. In addition to vascular anastomosis, lung transplantation also requires tracheal anastomosis, so that the donor lungs can be anastomosed with the patient's reserved bronchus to assume respiratory function after the operation.
For Yang Ping, he only has two hands when doing traditional surgery, but now he has four hands when doing robotic surgery. In addition to the robotic arm responsible for installing the lens, there are three robotic arms that can work at any time. These three robotic arms act completely according to their own consciousness, so the efficiency of the operation is much higher.
Yang Ping performed interrupted sutures on the cartilage part of the bronchus, one stitch at a time, evenly and precisely. For the suture of the pipeline, Yang Ping always insisted on using interrupted sutures instead of time-saving continuous sutures. Each stitch of the interrupted suture is independent and has the greatest reliability. Reliability is the most important thing in medical work.
None of the three robotic arms rested, not even for a short break, and they were working all the time. Yang Ping's operation of the robotic arms has completely broken away from the traditional concept of two-handed operation. When other doctors use the da Vinci surgical robot, they still have not broken away from the inherent concept of two-handed operation, which makes it difficult to give full play to the maximum effectiveness of all robotic arms.
When Yang Ping performed robotic surgery, he completely broke away from the human two-arm operation thinking and truly achieved multi-arm operation. The da Vinci surgical robot has four robotic arms, one of which is equipped with a lens. Its job is to provide a field of view for the operation, so in each surgical step, it is almost fixed, and it moves to switch the field of view after completing one step.
The remaining three robotic arms can all serve as working As robotic arms, the work efficiency of three hands is far more than 1.5 times that of two hands, but many times.
On the current high-definition screen, the bronchus of the donor and the recipient is being anastomosed. Three robotic arms, one robotic arm puts the suture needle in and out, the other robotic arm immediately catches the suture needle at the moment of the needle coming out, the third robotic arm immediately ties the knot, and the first robotic arm that is freed is connected to cut the thread at this time. The connection of each action is almost zero delay. These three robotic arms seem to be an extension of Yang Ping's consciousness.
"Why is this operation a bit strange? Why are the three robotic arms always moving at high speed? Shouldn't one be paused, at least in some operations? You said that the da Vinci surgical robot only has two main controllers and two foot pedals. How did Professor Yang mobilize all three robotic arms? "
Director Lu from the Urology Department also sat next to Director Fang. He was also very skilled in the Da Vinci surgical robot, but he did not understand how these three robotic arms could be used so skillfully.
Although Director Lu's robotic surgery skills were high, they were not as good as Director Fang's. Director Fang could be said to be the most skilled and knowledgeable person in Sanbo Hospital except Yang Ping in using the Da Vinci surgical robot. He sighed: "His thinking is completely different from ours. No matter how skilled we are in using surgical robots, we are always limited by two-arm thinking, while he has multi-arm thinking."
"What do you mean? Can you explain it more clearly? Don't make it so mysterious." Director Lu has also performed hundreds of operations with the Da Vinci robot. How come he has never heard of the concepts of two-arm thinking and multi-arm thinking?
Director Fang smiled slightly. It seems that Director Fang is still the second in the ranking of robot surgery level of Sanbo Hospital. Director Lu actually doesn't understand the two-arm thinking and arm-hiding thinking. However, it is understandable. Director Lu has not been to the Institute of Surgery as many times as Director Fang, and has less communication with Yang Ping. This concept was proposed by Yang Ping, so Director Lu naturally doesn't know it.
Today Director Fang plans to teach Director Lu: "Two-arm thinking is the innate thinking of human beings and the basis of human labor ability. Because the responsibility of human hands is labor, and any labor operation is based on the cooperation of left and right hands, so since the invention of machines, most machine controls are also based on the cooperation of left and right hands."
"Although the Da Vinci robot has four robotic arms, most people always use two robotic arms to actually participate in the operation, and the left and right hands also cooperate. Professor Yang is different. He uses all the main controllers, foot pedals, etc. to control the four robotic arms. The cooperation of the three robotic arms involved in the operation is completely It is no longer a two-hand coordination mode, but a three-hand coordination mode. "
"Look carefully, every surgical operation performed by Professor Yang, such as suturing, knotting and thread cutting, is completely different from ours, because the method we use is completely based on the two-arm mode, while his method is based on the three-arm mode. "
Director Lu suddenly realized: "I said, why do I look at this knotting and thread cutting method a bit strange, I can't understand it at all, all three robotic arms are working quickly, none of them are resting, and I don't know what the three robotic arms are doing. Anyway, they are always moving at high speed, and the suturing of the bronchus is like a sewing machine, snapping out one stitch after another. "
