It was difficult to perform splenectomy with the da Vinci robot. It was not a relatively easy option, and it was not the choice of a novice doctor.
This was mainly because it took a long time to perform a splenectomy with a robot. On average, a splenectomy with a laparoscope would usually take about 120 minutes. However, with the da Vinci robot, the average would be more than 160 minutes.
Although the da Vinci robot came with a chair and a hand rest that could greatly reduce the burden on the surgeon, the success of the surgery and whether it was suitable or not depended on the patient, and the length of time was obviously an important factor.
However, as a surgical device that was still in the early stages of development, the average time could not be used as a negative factor. It could only be said that splenectomy with the da Vinci robot still had a lot of room for development. Regardless of whether it was developing new surgical methods, improving the efficiency of the da Vinci robot, or improving surgical skills, they could all be the direction of development. They could all be done on projects, written articles, and applied for funding.
This was also one of the research directions of the middle-aged doctor.
After much consideration, he chose to let Ling Ran be the chief surgeon for splenectomy because he had done more research in this direction. He was confident that he could turn the situation around when Ling Ran asked for help, gave up, or even made a mistake.
What he did not expect was that Ling Ran would crush all the patients in such a crude manner. He also did not expect that the splenectomy performed by the da Vinci robot, which was incredibly complicated and difficult in his eyes, would be crushed by Ling Ran with the most ordinary plan that was not optimized at all.
Ling Ran performed splenectomy purely according to the process of laparoscopy. He only performed it for one hundred and twenty minutes before he raised his head.
"If there's no problem, I'll suture it," Ling Ran politely asked the middle-aged doctor.
"Suture it." The middle-aged doctor was calm … Calm. The chair that came with the three million USD machine was soft and comfortable. It could support his butt and protect his knees, so that he would not slide down and kneel on the self-leveling floor.
Ling Ran did not think so much.
The three million USD machine was very fun. The joystick was very sensitive, and the field of vision was very clear. After a two-hour surgery, Ling Ran felt like he was sitting on a Transformer and performing surgery on a Titan.
"It's quite interesting." Ling Ran let out a long breath and showed a hint of a smile.
Zuo Cidian smiled so much that a goose could be stuffed into his mouth. If Ling Ran liked it and was happy, the people around him would naturally work hard to cheer him up.
"As long as it's interesting," the middle-aged doctor said calmly. What else could he say? He explained to the 11-meter-long Wind God Quetzalcoatlus, "My original plan was to hunt wild geese, but I didn't expect that I would end up scratching you." If the Quetzalcoatlus smiled and patted its head, wouldn't there be one less mammal on Earth?
Ling Ran's smile did not disappear. He said in a satisfied tone, "Get ready for the next one."
From the corner of Ling Ran's smile, the middle-aged doctor seemed to see a hint of admiration. At the very least, he felt excited because he was praised.
However, his excitement did not last long, because he quickly realized a problem. "There's no next surgery. We've only prepared two surgeries."
"That's all …" Ling Ran sighed as if he had not had enough.
Indeed, two surgeries were quite a lot for a doctor. Many surgeons only performed three or four surgeries on two surgery days a week. Moreover, he was only here for the certification of the da Vinci robot. He was not here for freelance surgery. It was already the limit for them to arrange two surgeries for him.
However, Ling Ran, who had just practiced two da Vinci surgeries, was like a novice driver who had just obtained his driver's license and driven two times. Regardless of whether his skills were good or not, he was indeed addicted to it.
Zuo Cidian saw it at first glance. Even Lu Wenbin, Ma Yanlin, and the others could see it.
At this time, it was time for the master to be worried and humiliated.
Zuo Cidian furrowed his eyebrows. While he was thinking quickly, he rolled his eyes and went to the local doctor, Luo Guan, who was watching the show. He quietly pulled him out of the room.
"Doctor Luo, you're also from the General Surgery Department, right? Can you arrange a few more robot surgeries for Doctor Ling?" Zuo Cidian said with a smile.
Luo Guan was amused. "Look at what you're saying. Do you think you can arrange surgeries just because you want to? You're making things difficult for me. "
"Then, tell your department director that Doctor Ling will perform freelance surgery for free."
Luo Guan glanced at Zuo Cidian in surprise. Freelance surgery was, after all, an extremely risky thing for doctors. If it were not for money, who would be willing to fly around to perform surgeries? They would also have to bear all kinds of risks, and that would be even worse.
However, Luo Guan was too lazy to look into it. He said in an apologetic tone, "Doctor Zuo, you're making things difficult for me. It's not up to me to decide who is allowed to perform freelance surgery in the department and when. "
"I see …" Zuo Cidian pondered. He also realized that it was a little rash to let Luo Guan make the decision.
Luo Guan smiled and waited for a while before he was ready to leave.
"How about this?" Zuo Cidian stopped him again. This time, his tone was different. He said, "During this period of time, we're preparing to set up a consensus among experts to accelerate the recovery of hepatectomy patients during the perioperative period. You can ask your department director if he's interested in participating."
"What the f * ck …" Luo Guan almost cursed out loud. He wanted so badly to agree on the spot on behalf of his department director.
Indeed, he was not qualified to participate in the complicated decision of who would perform freelance surgery in the department, and he could not bear this responsibility. However, no matter how heavy the responsibility was, it was a good thing to give his department director glory.
Fortunately, Luo Guan was still smart, and he could not help but ask, "Is it necessary? Don't you have a da Vinci robot in your hospital? "
His tone was the same, but his inner thoughts were, 'Are you crazy?'
Writing a consensus among experts was not just about being able to write it, but also about being qualified to write it. This was because this was a suggestion to guide the clinical practice. In other words, it was to make all the doctors in the country who were doing similar clinical work listen to you. Therefore, a question that existed all over the world would arise. 'Why?'
In China, this kind of thing was mostly written by organizations like the XX professional committee. It was equivalent to a group of experts gathering together to endorse it, and at the same time, solve the problem of "why". In actual practice, it could be done by a big shot, and the XX professional committee would convene a discussion to carry out the work, or it could be done by a big shot, and the wild gathering would then carry out the work in reverse. But no matter what kind of plan it was, this was usually something that only the big shots in Beijing and Shanghai would do. There were very few departments in local hospitals who could do this.
There were big shots in Taiwu Central Hospital who could afford to do this, but the department director of the General Surgery Department was not one of them.
However, Luo Guan was sure that if his department director knew that he could have the chance to sign the consensus among the experts, he would definitely be willing to keep Doctor Ling sick a week in advance.
And this was also Luo Guan's question. 'You guys are giving too much!'
Zuo Cidian was the person in charge of the details of the actual operation. He only said, "We originally had the intention to look for a few clinicians from local hospitals to sign their names and publish it together. This is the consensus of the experts. Of course, there must be a lot of experts who research and approve it together.
"Of course, of course, I understand." Luo Guan quickly nodded and said in a flattering tone, "Then, should I call our department director?"
