3D blockbuster” in the operating room The first 3D lumpectomy of right posterior lobe of liver tumor was successfully carried out http://nantong.city8.com/news/1364258.html Thu, 24 Apr 2014 17:36:00 GMT Hepatobiliary of Nantong University Hospital The Department of Surgery Chang Renan surgery scene pictures – Chang Renan 3D technology has now become a fashion symbol, you are afraid it is difficult to imagine, in the hospital operating room to watch “3D blockbuster” will be what kind of scene? Yesterday, Mr. Song, the first case in our province to undergo 3D lumpectomy for right posterior lobe of liver tumor, was discharged from hospital. The surgery was carried out by a team led by Professor Chen Zhong, the director of general surgery of Tongda Hospital and a medical leader in the province, and the success of the surgery marked the full entry of lumpectomy into the 3D era. So, will the same effect be obtained by introducing 3D technology into the hospital operating room? The answer is yes. 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 “baring” sound, the tissue coagulates wherever the ultrasonic knife goes; when the abdominal cavity is flushed, the splash seems to jump out of the screen and onto the face …… The most striking feature of the 3D HD laparoscope compared to the ordinary minimally invasive laparoscope is that the surgeon knows the depth. The operating room was like a “3D theater” while this surgery was going on. All the members of the surgical team and the observers put on cool “3D sunglasses” and held their breath as the surgical images in the doctor’s eyes became three-dimensional 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, hepatobiliary 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, minimizing the risk of accidental damage to blood vessels, and being more advantageous for dissecting complex organs. For the patient, the patient’s immunity and resistance can be improved faster and the body can recover faster due to less damage with 3D laparoscopic technology. Mr. Song, who underwent 3D liver tumor resection, was able to get out of bed and walk the next day. Prof. Chen Zhong said that with the development of technology, surgeries originally called big knives can now be routinely carried out under 2D and 3D laparoscopy, and patients do not need to talk about it, they should change their mindset and walk with technology.
