3D thoracoscopic radical lung cancer surgery

  On June 25, the Department of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery successfully completed the first 3D thoracoscopic radical lung cancer surgery in East China. In the operating room, doctors and nurses put on “3D” glasses and watched the screen for the operation. It was as if they were watching a 3D blockbuster. In fact, it was a 46-year-old lung cancer patient who was being operated on by the experts. Doctors in the patient’s right chest wall opened a 75px incision and two 25px holes, the 3D thoracoscope lens from the small hole into the chest cavity, the image of the patient’s chest organs immediately through the 3D lens clearly transmitted to the TV screen. After nearly two hours of surgery, the doctor successfully performed the right upper lung resection and lymph node dissection surgery for the patient.  It is understood that this 3D surgery uses the most advanced technology available and is the first case of thoracoscopic surgery in the east of Yu.  ”3D thoracoscopy through three-dimensional imaging, every nerve, blood vessel, muscle, trachea, lung lobe become three-dimensional, can see very clearly, the depth is very strong, bring the operator more accurate distance and direction of the feeling, can be more comfortable to carry out surgery, as if within reach, without any visual correction can be precise spatial positioning, give the surgeon the most realistic The surgeon will have the most realistic operating experience and thus be able to perform difficult lumpectomies.”  Traditional clinical 2D lumpectomy systems are only capable of flat imaging. The lenses and imaging systems used in 3D surgical technology have been revolutionized by adopting the way both human eyes see things, with two camera holes and the use of special “eyes” to present a realistic view of the patient. It has two camera holes, and with the help of special “eyes” it presents a three-dimensional anatomical world in front of the eyes, as if “entering the chest cavity”. It is able to reproduce information about the depth of things beyond the horizontal and vertical directions, and can magnify the tissue inside the patient’s chest cavity 4-10 times. This technology can reduce the difficulty of dissection, greatly improve the doctor’s hand-eye coordination, improve the accuracy and overall efficiency of surgical dissection, cutting, suturing, hemostasis, etc., showing more advantages. Surgeons and nurses only need to wear a simple pair of polarized light glasses, making the surgery safer to operate. Although 3D thoracoscopic technology is the most advanced, the cost of the procedure does not increase and the operation time is greatly reduced.  3D thoracoscopic radical lung cancer surgery is the first of its kind to be carried out in the East Henan region. In addition to lung surgery, 3D surgical technology can also be widely used in thoracic and cardiovascular surgery for esophageal cancer, mediastinal tumor surgery, and even heart surgery. For laparoscopic surgeries such as hepatobiliary surgery, urology and obstetrics and gynecology, our hospital will soon be widely applied.
