Leonardo da Vinci's mechanical arm is divided into two parts. The first part is placed on the patient, including three or four mechanical arms with lenses and surgical instruments. These arms can provide seven movable surfaces and a rotation angle of 540, which is more flexible than human arms. Another part of the robot is the surgeon's console. The operating picture seen by the surgeon is 3D, and the hands and feet are used to control all the mechanical arms. Therefore, surgeons can perform extremely delicate operations with great flexibility.
Leonardo da Vinci's use in gynecological minimally invasive surgery is second only to urology, and it is growing rapidly. Minimally invasive surgery of gynecological manipulator in China is mainly benign hysterectomy, malignant hysterectomy and myomectomy. In addition, in the minimally invasive surgery such as severe endometriosis, uterine prolapse and fallopian tube recanalization, the robotic arm can make the surgery more perfect. Personally, I think that minimally invasive surgery with mechanical arm is especially suitable for gynecological cancer surgery. For example, endometrial cancer can completely remove lymph glands, and cervical cancer surgery can effectively preserve nerves and make patients recover better after surgery. For the complicated myomectomy, minimally invasive surgery with mechanical arm can effectively reduce bleeding and achieve excellent uterine wound suture, which is especially effective under the demand of preserving fertility.
However, the mechanical arm minimally invasive surgery is expensive, so the surgical cases are mainly concentrated in the capital circle. Some patients still mistakenly think that the more? The more expensive the operation, the better, and the abuse of robotic arms for minimally invasive surgery. In fact, in simple myoma or ovarian surgery and ectopic pregnancy surgery, you can choose traditional endoscopic surgery, and the surgical effect is just as good. As for the more difficult endoscopic surgery, it depends on the personal skills of the surgeon!
