Doctors uniformly wearing “black super” sunglasses, the indoor environment of a blue light, the screen is also playing a high-definition 3D images. This is not now a hit 3D movie, the doctors are concentrating on a 3D laparoscopic surgery. Reporters learned from the Guangdong Provincial People’s Hospital, the hospital introduced 3D operating room, so that the traditional surgery towards a more minimally invasive more three-dimensional era, patients can get off the ground the next day after surgery. Starting from the 3D movie “Avatar”, to the more widely known 3D movie “Inception”, the director for the audience to present a more three-dimensional novelty of the world, 3D technology has also gradually into life. But the application of 3D technology in surgery is a breakthrough in the medical industry. According to the provincial people’s hospital thoracic surgery professor Chen Gang introduction, 3D laparoscopic surgery and surgery closely together. Compared with the usual use of traditional 2D laparoscopic surgery, 3D laparoscopic surgery is like from the plane into a three-dimensional, micro-structures can be seen clearly, including small blood vessels and small nerves, the doctor’s field of vision is more open. “Taking esophageal cancer as an example, the bleeding of traditional luminal surgery is roughly 150 to 500 milliliters, while 3D luminal surgery is only a few tens of milliliters.” Chen Gang explains that while minimally invasive leads to extremely fast recovery in the later stages, patients can even get out of bed the next day, and will spend correspondingly less on medical expenses than traditional surgery. In terms of safety, Director Chen Gang explained that although it will take some time to get used to it at first, just like watching a 3D movie, with the natural adjustment of the eyes, the three-dimensional sense will allow the doctor to operate in a more comfortable way, making the quality of the surgery safer. Dr. Zhou Haiyu from Shantou also pointed out that esophageal cancer is still highly prevalent in Chaoshan, western Guangdong and Meizhou, and that patients with early and mid-stage middle and upper esophageal cancers can choose thoracolaparoscopic surgery, which adopts the “keyhole” total laparoscopic surgery, and the patients only have five 0.5-1.2cm incisions in the abdomen and three to four 0.5-1.2 incisions in the chest after the surgery. With only five 0.5-1.2cm incisions in the abdomen and three to four 0.5-1.2 incisions in the chest, complete resection of esophageal cancer and lymph node dissection in two to three fields can be realized, and the patients can pull out the chest tube in 1-2 days after the operation and get out of bed at an early stage, with fast recovery, mild pain, and they can eat and be discharged from the hospital in a week or so after the operation, thus realizing fast recovery. 3D total laparoscopic surgery for esophageal cancer has no additional cost compared with other total laparoscopic esophageal cancer surgeries, which is worthy of great promotion!
