Chapter 1277: Chapter 972: This is the Benefit of Kidney Protection

About the magic power of Yang Ping’s moments, everyone talked more and more vigorously, veering off topic until the image inside the chest appeared on the high-definition screen, prompting everyone to stop chatting.

The feature film began formally without any preview. Just a few seconds after the image inside the chest cavity appeared, three robotic arms emerged into view. They were highly flexible, coordinating with each other with great tacit understanding, without any interference, not to mention friction or collision.

If the surgical technique is proficient, robotic surgery is indeed much more convenient than traditional surgery. The current weakness of robotic surgery is the lack of tactile feedback that is good. Another minor issue, which is not exactly a weakness, is that changing surgical instruments is not as fast and timely as manually doing it.

In the future, if surgical robots could have many robotic arms, equipping all the instruments needed for the surgery at once, it would eliminate the time needed to switch instruments. Whenever a specific instrument is required, the robotic arm fitted with that instrument could directly replace the one that temporarily has to withdraw.

The most successful surgical robot at present is Da Vinci. In the field of surgical robots, it stands out alone. The gap between it and the various other surgical robots is still significant. This is why Da Vinci is the most widely equipped brand of surgical robots worldwide—because, besides it, there are no other options.

The three robotic arms worked extremely proficiently together, continuously separating and stemming bleeding from the lungs and their blood vessels and bronchi.

Director He personally rushed forward carrying the box containing the organs, delivering them to the operating room at top speed to minimize the time the organs were without blood supply. By the time he arrived at the operating room, Yang Ping had already completed nearly all of the total resection of both lungs, with only the final bronchus left to be separated and cut.

Director He set the box down; however, he still stood by it, personally guarding the organs, always ready to hand them over to the doctors on the operating table. Since Professor Yang had assigned him this task, he must execute it flawlessly. There could be no mishaps.

Yang Ping’s control panel and the operating room were separated by a glass wall. Wearing the surgical robot’s goggles, he could only see the surgical field through the camera, so he didn’t know whether Director He had arrived in the operating room.

"Director He? Director He? Has he arrived?"

Yang Ping asked while operating from the control panel.

"Just arrived!"

Another doctor replied.

"Let him in!"

Yang Ping ordered.

The doctor immediately went out to call Director He inside.

The surgery paused for a moment, Director He was taking the donor organs out of the protective box and placing them on the operating table, while Song Zimo and Xu Zhiliang examined the organs and trimmed the blood vessels and bronchi to meet the surgical requirements.

After finishing his duties, Director He then entered the control room. At this moment, Yang Ping stopped the surgery, removed his glasses, and also took his hands off the controls.

"Old He, come here, you take over the surgery," Yang Ping instructed Director He, then offered him the chief surgeon’s seat at the control panel.

Director He seemed bewildered, his face showing confusion: "I can’t do it? I’ve only performed some simple surgeries with the Da Vinci robotic system; I don’t know how to do this surgery."

"It’s okay if you don’t know now, you’ll slowly learn. Just sit here, see how to separate and cut the remaining bronchus, but don’t mess with anything else. That shouldn’t be a problem, right?" Yang Ping told Director He.

Director He thought for a moment, feeling confident about this task, so he immediately perked up: "Then no problem."

Even though it was just performing some simple tasks, it was surely better than just watching from the sidelines; at least he was participating in the surgery.

Although Director He was not very skilled with the Da Vinci robotic system, he had experience in over a hundred surgeries and was no novice; he simply lacked experience in lung transplants.

"We’ll finish this surgery together today, and how about you write the paper?" Yang Ping mentioned casually.

Director He was startled at hearing this, was such a good thing possible?

This was like a pie falling from the sky! If it wasn’t for the fact that he and Professor Yang were well-acquainted colleagues, Director He would have clutched his waist in disbelief at such unbelievable good fortune.

The world’s first case, and also with the Da Vinci surgical robot—setting aside the significant implication of the paper, just taking this surgery to an academic conference would garner admiring glances from their peers. It was evident what level and significance this represented.

Still somewhat skeptical, Director He wanted to ask something, like if there were any preconditions when Yang Ping pointed at the control panel: "Go get used to it, take it slow, no rush."

Director He quickly sat at the control panel. The control panel was separate from the operating room, positioned outside the sterile area of the operating room. The doctor used both hands to operate two primary controllers and used foot pedals to control the movements of the instruments at the end of the robotic arms.

Additionally, wearing a pair of special glasses, the doctor could see a clear three-dimensional image of the surgical field, with the tips of the surgical instruments moving in sync with the surgeon’s hands throughout the entire process.

This design maximally replicated the synchronized rhythm of the surgeon’s eyes, instruments, and hands during open surgeries, meaning that when performing surgeries with the Da Vinci surgical robot, the surgeons could be even more agile than in open surgeries.

The control system’s motion scaling function helped minimize the surgeon’s natural hand tremors or inadvertent movements, thus further enhancing the surgical operation’s precision and stability.

Director Fang carefully manipulated the controls with his hands and feet to slowly separate an unseparated bronchus in the lung, then cut it off at the spot Yang Ping had just indicated, marking the completion of the first part of the surgery: the resection of the patient’s lungs.

The next step was to clean the chest cavity to prepare for the transplant of the donor lungs. Knowing he was not capable of the next step, Director Fang conscientiously stopped his activities: "Professor Yang, you take over."

"Sit beside me, be ready to replace me at any time. This surgery’s chief surgeons are both of us. I’ve already informed the patrolling nurse to list both our names," Yang Ping returned to his seat at the control panel and continued with the surgery.

At this moment in the operating room, the high-definition large screen was live-streaming Yang Ping’s surgery, with the cooperation between the several robotic arms amounting to an art form. The entire scene exuded a kind of mechanized aesthetic, with the robotic arms being flexible, stable, precise, and harmonious; every move, every operation, was simply magical.

"When will we be able to train to this level,"
