Chapter 421: Chapter 0390: Da Vinci’s Hot Dance

Sure enough, the southern region turned out to be the biggest winner of the Golden Knife Award.

In the third season of the surgery competition, Yang Ping defeated Zheng Huahua without a doubt.

Wen Rentao, the most popular candidate for victory, was defeated by Su Nanchen, resulting in the top two winners being from the southern region.

Ever since Yang Ping entered the scene, he changed the dynamic of the Golden Knife Award competition, and everyone was confident that he would win.

However, Su Nanchen’s defeat of Wen Rentao was unexpected.

Su Nanchen is one of the younger competitors, and although he is strong, he is still young and lacks experience. No one expected him to defeat Wen Rentao.

Nevertheless, this round of the Golden Knife Award has disrupted everyone’s predictions, and an additional surprise isn’t shocking anymore.

Seeing this outcome, Professor Su was overjoyed. His son and future son-in-law were competing for the championship. No matter who won or lost, the champion would belong to the Su family.

Professor Zou was the first to congratulate Professor Su, saying, “Dean Su, this situation is quite embarrassing. Both of them have advanced. No matter who wins or loses, it makes us feel uneasy.”

The flattery was subtle, and others didn’t detect a hint of sycophancy upon hearing it.

“It’s all about participation, all about participation!” said Professor Su, smiling.

No matter who won or lost, wasn’t it just a matter of the right hand winning over the left hand? The more Old Su thought about it, the happier he was.

Due to this, Sanbo Hospital became famous nationwide. Compared to previous academic conferences, this was truly a significant event. Dean Xia was continuously visiting the Orthopedics department.

For Sanbo Hospital, winning a Golden Knife Award would be a historic event. In the past, only top-tier hospitals in the country have won the championship. There have been no cases where a second-tier hospital has won the award, let alone a hospital like Sanbo that was not categorized.

Upon hearing that the fourth season finals would involve a competition of surgical robots, Dean Xia, Director Han, and Director Zhao planned for Yang Ping and his team to practice with the hospital’s surgical robot to strive for a total victory.

A 20 million yuan Da Vinci robotic surgical system and a 15 million Tianji system was given to Yang Ping for practice. If any part was damaged, it would cost at least several hundred thousand yuan.

Sanbo Hospital’s equipment is quite good. They currently have two surgical robots: an American Da Vinci and a locally produced Tianji. The Da Vinci can perform thoracic surgery, general surgery, urological surgery, gynecological and obstetrics surgery, and head and neck surgery, but can’t perform orthopedic surgery. It is actually a high-level endoscope auxiliary system.

The Tianji surgical robot, on the other hand, specializes in orthopedic surgery. It is the only surgical robot in the world that can perform various procedures on hard skeletal tissues, like spinal segment, pelvic fracture, limb fracture, and trauma fracture, bone tumor surgeries, along with joint navigation. It can be considered a high-level X-ray navigational auxiliary system.

So-called surgical robots are just remote operation systems. The robot itself cannot perform surgery; it is merely a surgical assistant tool that requires the doctor to remotely control the robotic arm for surgical operations. The technology is far from developing a real robot.

Operating a surgical robot is not hard. This technology is similar to playing a video game. An experienced surgeon can master it with a little training.

It has its advantages and disadvantages. The advantage is that the robotic arm can filter out the tremors in human hands, making it more stable, can perform sub-millimeter operations, becoming more accurate, and can perform movements at any angle, making it more flexible than the human hand. Combined with X-ray technology, it can perform a human body X-ray; combined with imaging technology, it can enlarge the surgical target. The obtained image is three-dimensional, making it more advanced than two-dimensional endoscopic surgery.

The downside is that there is no tactile feedback; it cannot accurately control the force of the instrument, nor can it use tactile sensation to feel different human body tissues.

Of course, there are also characteristics innate to machines. There is a chance of malfunction, leading to loss of control, which has been the case in the world.

In short, the current robot surgery tests the doctor’s remote operation ability, expressing their surgical ability through the remote control machine.

In the end, people still need to perform the surgery.

Dean Xia personally wanted to see Yang Ping’s surgical robot operating capability, and quickly took Director Zhao, Director Han, and others to the operating room.

The Tianji was busy. Tan Boyun had one surgery which was nearly finished.

The Da Vinci was available. Since it was all about testing remote control operations, Dean Xia asked which machine should be used first for the demonstration, if Da Vinci would work?

Just a tool, there shouldn’t be anything wrong with it. Although it’s not specialized for orthopedics, it can still demonstrate manipulation technology. Yang Ping didn’t want to waste everyone’s time, so he said, “Let’s go with the Da Vinci!”

“Director Fang, shall we go with the Da Vinci?” Dean Xia consulted with Director Fang from the Department of General Surgery.

The Da Vinci is currently more widely used in general surgery, thoracic surgery, urological surgery, and obstetrics and gynecology, but it is most commonly used in general surgery. Dean Xia, in a show of respect, asks Director Fang for his opinion.

The dean brought along a large group of people and asked if it was okay. How could Director Fang say no? He reluctantly said, “Okay!”

With equipment worth twenty million yuan, this young man, who had never seen him operate the machine before, could potentially cause damage. Who wouldn’t be heartbroken?

If there is a problem, the hospital will pay for it. Director Fang thinks this way and feels a little relieved.

“Dean Xia, Xiao Yang has never used this before… There… there is a risk…” Director Fang stammered.

Dean Xia reassured him, “It’s okay, Director Han said he’s familiar with it. He’s done a lot of surgeries with the Tianji. We’ll deal with it if the machine has issues. There are so many people here. It’s not like I can deny responsibility.”
