“3D blockbuster” helps doctors eliminate right liver tumorRelease time：2014-4-23 Read：579 times Watching 3D technology has now become a fashion symbol, you are afraid it is hard to imagine what it would be like to watch a “3D blockbuster” in a hospital operating room. The scene? The liver in the abdominal cavity seems to be within reach; the blood vessels and bile ducts are clearly discernible, pulsating with the heartbeat; along with a slight “bared” sound, the ultrasonic knife where the tissue coagulates; when rinsing the abdominal cavity, the splash seems to jump out of the screen to the face …… 4 On January 17, the operating room of Tong University Hospital staged such a blockbuster, the team led by Professor Chen Zhong, the medical leader of Jiangsu Province and director of general surgery of Tong University Hospital, successfully carried out 3D lumpectomy of the right posterior lobe of liver tumor, marking the comprehensive entry of lumpectomy of liver into the 3D era in our province. Chang Renan, Department of Hepatobiliary Surgery, Nantong University Hospital 3D movies let us know what immersive effect is. So, will the same effect be obtained by introducing 3D technology into the hospital operating room? The answer is yes. the most outstanding feature of 3D HD laparoscopy compared to ordinary minimally invasive laparoscopy is that the surgeon knows the depth. The operating room was like a “3D theater” while the surgery was in progress. All the members of the operating team and the observers put on cool “3D sunglasses” and held their breath as the picture of the surgery became three-dimensional in the doctor’s eyes, and the tissues in the abdominal cavity were very clear from near and far. The tumor in the right posterior lobe was close to the hepatic artery, portal vein, hepatic bile duct and other important structures. Professor Chen Zhong skillfully used ultrasonic knife to dissect and separate the tumor, and quickly and precisely completed the complex right liver tumor removal. According to Prof. Chen Zhong, conventional laparoscopy can only show flat images, which cannot present the natural sense of depth of objects in the real world. Therefore, the surgeon needs to constantly correct the difference between the plane and reality during the procedure. Even so, it is difficult to operate on organs that are deeply located and rich in surrounding blood vessels and nerves. 3D HD laparoscopy exactly compensates for these shortcomings, with the advantage of restoring natural vision and minimizing the risk of accidental damage to blood vessels, especially for organs with rich pipelines and complex anatomy, such as the liver. For the patient, the immunity and resistance of the patient can be improved faster and the body can recover faster because of the less damage by 3D laparoscopic technology. Mr. Song, who underwent 3D liver tumor resection, was able to get out of bed and walk the next day. Professor Chen Zhong said that with the development of technology, surgeries that were originally called big knives can now be routinely performed under 2D and 3D laparoscopy, and patients do not need to talk about it, but should change their mindset and walk with technology.
