China News Service, Kunming, June 13 (Baihe) "This robotic minimally invasive heart surgery was almost painless and was completed in less than an hour. I walked back to the general ward from the intensive care unit three days after the operation. , and was discharged today." On the 13th, at the First People's Hospital of Yunnan Province (hereinafter referred to as the First Hospital of Yunnan Province), Mr. Xiong, the patient who underwent the province's first da Vinci robot heart surgery, had satisfactory results and was cured 10 days after the operation. Discharged successfully.

42-year-old Mr. Xiong is from Dali Bai Autonomous Prefecture, Yunnan Province. In May, he was found to have heart abnormalities during a local physical examination due to physical discomfort. The results showed that he suffered from congenital atrial septal defect and needed to go to Kunming for treatment.

Xiong Da, deputy chief physician of the Cardiac and Vascular Surgery Department of the First Hospital of Yunnan Province, said that atrial septal defect means that the interval between the left and right atria is not fully developed during the development of the heart, and patients will gradually develop pathological changes such as heart enlargement and increased pulmonary artery pressure. , eventually leading to severe hypoxic cyanosis and heart failure, requiring cardiac surgical repair.

“A large number of cardiac surgeries for atrial septal defects involve extracorporeal circulation and organ protection after cardiac arrest, which require more delicate operations and carry higher risks. They are often performed by sawing through the sternum and opening a large thoracotomy. "Xiong Da said, however, Mr. Xiong's defect is too large to be blocked, and the traditional surgical method will leave a long scar on the chest, so it is more suitable to use the da Vinci robot for minimally invasive heart surgery."

The Da Vinci surgical robot is a master-slave controlled laparoscopic minimally invasive surgery system. It has small and hidden wounds, does not damage the sternum and ribs, has low intraoperative blood loss, is less susceptible to wound infection, and has less postoperative pain. The fast healing feature can effectively solve the problems faced by Mr. Xiong.

Currently there are not many institutions that perform robotic heart surgery in the world, and there is no institution in southwest China that can perform robotic heart surgery on a large scale. "Xiong Da said that the da Vinci surgical robot system can provide a clear and enlarged 3D field of view, which helps to improve the quality of surgery and ensure patient safety; it has a robotic arm that is far smaller, more flexible and stable than human hands, and can filter and operate directly The hand tremors during the operation have been improved, and the endoscopic suturing technology has been improved. It can bring patients more minimally invasive, more precise and safer surgical results.

In early June, after evaluation, the hospital decided to use the Da Vinci robot to assist in this cardiac surgery. Xiong Da was the surgeon and all departments worked together to successfully complete the operation. At present, Mr. Xiong is in good health and has met the conditions for discharge. Prior to this, the Cardiac and Vascular Surgery Department of the First Hospital of Yunnan Province had successfully performed minimally invasive thoracoscopic surgeries on 200 patients.

Xiong Da said that the Cardiac Surgery Department of the First Hospital of Yunnan Province plans to gradually apply the da Vinci surgical robot to heart valve repair and replacement surgeries and coronary artery bypass surgeries to provide more patients with more minimally invasive, higher-quality, and more cost-effective services. Safe surgeries and medical services. (over)
