Chapter 974 Can You Speak More Nicely?

Organ transplantation has very strict requirements for suturing. Yang Ping completed the suture of the bronchi and blood vessels, and the only thing left for Director He was to cut a few traction lines.

"Director He! Come over here." Yang Ping took off his glasses again.

"Here are a few more lines. Can you help cut them?" Yang Ping said.

Not to mention cutting lines, even if he did nothing but just sat here and shook the robotic arm twice, Director He would be satisfied.

In fact, there are not many traction lines, only four left, but Director He was serious. In order to cut a few lines neatly and beautifully, Director He gestured for a long time before he put down the scissors, and finally cut a few traction lines with satisfaction.

The remaining work is actually to use a fiberoptic bronchoscope to check the quality of the bronchial anastomosis, and to use transesophageal cardiac color Doppler ultrasound to check the quality of the anastomosis between the pulmonary blood vessels and the heart. If there is no problem, the remaining finishing work is to place a drainage tube and suture the surgical incision.

"Professor Yang, why don't you take a break." Director He took the initiative to offer.

In fact, Yang Ping had nothing to do, so he moved to the operating room to see the results of transesophageal cardiac ultrasound and bronchoscopy. At this time, Song Zimo was using a color ultrasound machine to do transesophageal cardiac ultrasound.

There was no suspense. Whether it was the bronchus or the blood vessels, the anastomosis quality was very high, the pipeline was very smooth, and the operation could be completed. The entire operation took only two hours to complete, and the bleeding during the operation was less than that of pulling a nail.

ECMO can generally be taken off the machine 24 hours after the operation. For Yang Ping, this is a very conservative approach, because it is the first case of lung transplantation performed by a surgical robot, so he has to be conservative and safe. In the future, as more data is accumulated, the support time of ECMO after the operation can be continuously shortened. It is best to get off ECMO immediately after the operation, so that the implanted lungs can work as early as possible.

"Professor, when will you teach me how to operate multiple arms? Why can't I change my mindset when I'm doing multiple arms? I always feel that I only have two hands. I can only use two robotic arms at all times. The third robotic arm can only be a substitute. In the rhythm of the operation, two are operating and one is waiting in line. In short, the two robotic arms are still the main ones when operating." Song Zimo was very distressed. Robotic surgery is the future direction of surgery. He hopes to master the most advanced robotic surgery operation skills as soon as possible.

The future robotic surgery will definitely not be like this. The future surgical robot with multiple robotic arms can do many operations at the same time, improving the efficiency and quality of the operation, just like machines replace manual weaving. The method of machine weaving is definitely completely different from manual weaving, not just a simple copy of manual weaving.

The current robotic surgery is just a copy and imitation of the doctor's surgery. It only plays the role of an auxiliary tool. Like a laparoscope, it is just an operating tool, but this tool is just a little more advanced. It is really not worthy of the name to call it a robot.

"Multi-arm operation is not necessary. It has violated the original intention of designing this surgical robot. The original intention of the design is to let you imitate the operation of two hands. You don't need to learn multi-arm operation." Yang Ping enlightened Song Zimo.

But Song Zimo was very persistent: "Professor, tell me how to train. I also want to break through the limitations of machine design and unlock new skills."

This made Yang Ping a little embarrassed. He really couldn't think of any good training method for the time being. Except for training with the real surgical robot, there seemed to be no good way to train the multi-arm operation of the surgical robot. This thing was sold for 75 million US dollars when it was first launched. Now it has dropped to 1.5 million US dollars. It costs more than 10 million yuan per unit in RMB. The price of a robotic arm has now dropped, but it still costs 30,000 yuan, and it can only be used ten times. Once it reaches ten times, the built-in chip will be locked and the robotic arm cannot be used.

"I can only use robots to train. There is no other way for the time being." Yang Ping said helplessly.

Song Zimo thought it was too wasteful. He calculated that the use time of a robot arm was about 40 hours. At the same time, it would cost 120,000 yuan to equip four robots with full load. If it was used for two hours a day, it could only be used for 20 days. If it was used for four hours a day, it could only be used for ten days. Not counting the wear and tear of the robot, the cost of the robot arm alone would cost 12,000 yuan a day. Who could accept such a training cost?

"Professor, you didn't practice like this, did you?"

Song Zimo said as he sorted out the color ultrasound and bronchoscope. Xu Zhiliang was suturing the surgical incision alone. Several doctors who were watching did not leave. They listened to their chat attentively. The great man's chat was also very interesting.

Yang Ping sneered, "How could a frugal person like me be so extravagant? I am a talented player. I usually do robot surgery. I naturally break through while doing it. I don't even know when and how I broke through."

''What should I do? "Song Zimo just made this calculation and felt that he had no hope of getting the training opportunity.

Yang Ping thought for a while: "If you really want to train robot surgery, I will buy another one specifically for training, or I will ask the manufacturer to give you one to play with."

"Give one? Why---what?" Xu Zhiliang was puzzled.

"You don't want to give it to me, right? I will use another brand of surgical robot for surgery next time." Yang Ping said coldly.

"Is this useful?"

Xu Zhiliang still didn't understand.

Song Zimo immediately understood the reason: "Professor, are you serious? How about asking Tang Shun to contact the manufacturer?"

"Have him contact the manufacturer as soon as possible. You can arrange a room on which floor to place the robot as a special training room." Yang Ping actually thought it was easy to buy another surgical robot with the strength of the foundation, but he felt that it was a waste of money.

"I still don't understand?" Xu Zhiliang didn't get the point.

Song Zimo had to explain. There was really no way to deal with this somewhat dull junior brother: "The professor uses a brand because he respects the brand, understand? The performance of the machine shown in the professor's surgery cannot be surpassed by anyone in the world. Let's put it this way, if the maximum performance of brand A machine is 100 points, and the maximum performance of machine B is 80 points, the professor can bring the performance of machine B to 120 points or even higher, and no matter how powerful others are, they can only bring the performance of machine A to 60 to 70 points."

"I still don't understand, it's like an elementary school math problem." Xu Zhiliang frowned.

Song Zimo had to continue explaining: "For example, although brand A is better than brand B, if this lung transplant is done by brand B's machine, the next heart bypass is done by brand B, and the next intracranial tumor is done by brand B, which brand do you think people all over the world will think is better? After several such operations, who still remembers brand A?"

"Then how to let Tang Shun contact the manufacturer?" Xu Zhiliang asked another question.

Song Zimo wanted to hammer him, his brain would not think of anything else except seeing a doctor and doing surgery all day: "Don't let Tang Shun go, let you go? Let me go? An Ivan went around the laboratory, and now he sends money almost every three or five days. Not only does he send money, but he also keeps thanking Tang Shun."

"Selling people - others - and helping count the money?" Xu Zhiliang seemed to understand again.

Song Zimo said impatiently: "Can you say it better? It makes us seem immoral. We are helping international friends improve their technology and symbolically charging a necessary low fee."
