When it comes to surgery, the first thing that comes to everyone’s mind is – opening the belly. However, with the popularization of laparoscopic surgery, nowadays, if a patient’s cholecystectomy is an open surgery, it is unbelievable that a scar of more than ten centimeters is left on the abdomen after surgery – why not laparoscopic perforation surgery? Laparoscopy can make abdominal surgery no longer “broken belly”. Yang Yulun, Department of Thoracic Surgery, Zhengzhou People’s Hospital
Then, thoracoscopy can also make the chest surgery no longer “open”.
“Today’s medicine is so advanced!” The main reason for this is that the patient’s body is not only a small one, but also a large one. And also hospitalized for more than a month.” Everyone saw that Master Zhao’s chest had a scar of about thirty centimeters, like a long large centipede. The doctor was changing his son’s medicine, and Master Zhao saw that his son’s chest had only two one-centimeter-sized cuts, and the doctor told him he could be discharged, and a smile of relief appeared on Master Zhao’s gloomy face for many days.
It turned out that Master Zhao’s son, Zhao Yun, suffered from the same disease as him – pulmonary alveoli combined with spontaneous pneumothorax. What is worrying is that little Zhao Yun is a senior high school student, will soon take the college entrance examination, but at this most critical moment suffered from the disease, the family is full of sorrow. Master Zhao and the child’s mother asked around for the child’s disease, when he heard that the Henan Provincial Chest Hospital has experts who can do thoracoscopic surgery, is minimally invasive surgery, fast recovery, good results, can cure, and soon took his son to stay in the Thoracic Surgery Department of the Provincial Chest Hospital.
After carefully studying the condition, and heard that Zhao Yun will soon take the college entrance examination, deputy director of thoracic surgery Yang Yulun patiently comforted Master Zhao’s father and son, saying, “Please rest assured that I have detailed understanding of the condition, can do thoracoscopic surgery, and three or five days after surgery can be discharged, will not delay the child’s studies.” Hearing these words, Master Zhao’s tightly locked eyebrows finally stretched some.
As a result, he was discharged from the hospital in only 5 days! When he thought that his son would not only be cured but would soon be able to go back to school to study for his exams, the whole family was happy and smiling. Master Zhao’s family custom-made a banner, hanging in the thoracic surgery ward a doctor’s office, written in four glittering gold words “excellent medical skills”.
Master Zhao excitedly shook the hand of Director Yang Yulun, gratitude overflowed, but Director Yang said modestly: “This is what I should do. Don’t thank me, it’s the high technology of today’s medicine that you should thank!”
According to Director Yang, after more than ten years of rapid development of TV thoracoscopic surgery in China, with the introduction of new technologies, new concepts and new methods, thoracoscopic surgery itself has become more mature and rational; its application scope and the proportion of thoracic surgery is also increasing year by year. At present, thoracoscopic lobectomy, thoracoscopic radical treatment of early esophageal cancer and mediastinal tumor resection have gradually become mature, and the application ratio of thoracoscopic surgery also reflects the technical level of a hospital’s thoracic surgery to a certain extent, and minimally invasive thoracic surgery with thoracoscopy as the pioneer is bound to become the mainstream direction of the development of thoracic surgery in the 21st century. It is hoped that thoracoscopic surgery can be better developed, more deeply promoted and more beneficial to patients.
