Recently, the world’s most advanced surgical platform, the da Vinci robotic surgery system, was officially installed in our hospital. Prof. Rufus Chen, Director of Biliary and Pancreatic Surgery, successfully completed the first robotic-assisted cholecystectomy in our hospital, which lasted about 30 minutes with “zero” bleeding. The da Vinci robotic surgery system is the most advanced and unique surgical platform in the field of surgery today. Compared with traditional minimally invasive techniques, da Vinci robotic surgery has many advantages. The surgical field of view is magnified by more than 10 times, and the three-dimensional high-definition image is clearer, which can truly restore the anatomical depth and level of human structures and expose the very small blood vessels. The surgical instruments can simulate the flexible operation of the human wrist and perform small movements that are difficult to perform by humans, and can filter out unnecessary tremors, surpassing the accuracy of human hands. In addition, the da Vinci robot has seven surgical instruments that can be rotated 540°, allowing it to operate precisely even in tight spaces that are beyond the reach of the human hand, greatly expanding the surgical space. The da Vinci robot has brought surgery into a new era. Compared with ordinary laparoscopy, robotic surgery is less traumatic and patients recover more quickly after surgery. Our biliary and pancreatic surgery department routinely performs minimally invasive procedures such as laparoscopic pancreaticoduodenectomy, laparoscopic pancreatic tail resection, laparoscopic cholecystectomy and biliary tract exploration.
