The doctors here are not unwilling to think of new thods, but every surgical plan that cos out must be one hundred percent viable, a display of highly responsible attitude.
"I have sothing to say," Xie Wanying decided and raised her hand.
Perhaps there are things Senior Tao is not quite comfortable to say, she will say it.
Others looked at her, wondering what she could possibly say at this ti.
"Alright, speak," Zhang Huayao turned around and pointed at her.
"The biggest drawback of performing the surgery entirely laparoscopically is that the steps are too complex. If we follow the laparoscopic procedure, it will be more ti-consuming compared to traditional surgery, aning that the chief surgeon alone isn’t enough. Therefore, I suggest adding another chief surgeon to the laparoscopic surgery to greatly reduce the operation ti," Xie Wanying said.
The doctors present could only be stunned by her words: A double surgeon strategy?
"Are you talking about this double surgeon strategy?" Section Chief Yang frowned, not thinking she was talking nonsense—after all, having seen her capabilities, he had so trust in her talent. It’s just that this concept of a double surgeon strategy did seem sowhat detached from practice.
"The double surgeon strategy has been tried before," Fang Xueqing, who was not from the departnt of surgery, knew the surgical history and explained, "but it never took off. Having two chief surgeons does not show any advantage over having one."
In traditional open surgery, there’s only one incision, and with the chief surgeon’s two hands occupying the surgical field, there’s no room for another set of hands. Moreover, in case of any ergency, one chief surgeon’s ten fingers are enough.
Indeed, the surgeon’s hands are the greatest weapon in a surgery. Inside the open abdominal cavity of the patient, the surgeon’s hands can change angles at will, and fingers can move as desired. The flexibility and dexterity of human fingers cannot be matched by any instrunt, thus, the use of a double surgeon strategy is unnecessary and can even appear disordered.
However, laparoscopic surgery might differ.
This epoch-making technology has developed on the basis of traditional surgery with the help of other technological revolutions and has so characteristics that are very different from open surgery.
In the face of other’s skepticism, Xie Wanying began to explain: "Laparoscopic surgery involves the surgeon manipulating instrunts through trocars to enter the patient’s abdon, using the instrunts in place of their hands. The functions of surgical instrunts are mostly single-purpose, and the chief surgeon may need to change instrunts during the operation, which takes ti to move in and out of the trocars, resulting in delays. If the surgery goes smoothly, the timing is flexible, allowing for various trials to solve problems. The real fear is encountering ergencies, like sudden massive bleeding where the source can’t be located. In such cases, the surgeon does not have the sa ti as usual and must quickly convert to open surgery."
Others listened: Right, this is correct. These are the disadvantages of laparoscopic surgery. Many laparoscopic surgeries are urgently converted to open surgeries based on such situations and reasons. That’s why, for a long period of ti, hepatobiliary surgeries even for liver cancer did not dare to use laparoscopic technique. Because cutting the liver is prone to heavy bleeding, and the surgeons cannot react quickly enough using only surgical instrunts.
The question is, can adding another surgeon as chief actually solve this problem?
Xie Wanying continued to analyze the characteristics of laparoscopic surgery: "The port is fixed. If there is only one chief surgeon, he is standing in a fixed position, trying to manipulate the instrunts in both hands to cooperate. Due to the fixed angle, it’s impossible to have the sa level of freedom and coordination as one can in open surgeries. Not to ntion, the human hand can freely bend in ways no surgical instrunt can. Therefore, if another chief surgeon is added, standing in the opposite position, it can effectively resolve the issue of operation angles."
