Medical Breakthrough In China: Very First Robotic Surgery A Success

Are you ready for another breakthrough in science? China has recently just completed its first robotic surgery with flying colors, experts say.
On January 3, the surgery that created a history happened in First Affiliated Hospital of Anhui Medical University in Anhui, China. The 42-year-old patient, who was only identified as Wang, went through the operation after suffering from the numbness of his left hand and legs.
The entire operation was assisted by several nurses and doctors throughout the surgery. Unlike the manual procedures, the robotic surgery poses not just very good results but also remarkable ones.
The entire operation was incredibly shorter. As a matter of fact, surgeons say the entire medical procedure only lasted less than an hour.
Also, the robotic surgery only left Want with a short one-centimeter-long wound. He didn't even suffer from a lot of bleeding all throughout the procedure, according to surgeons.
Even days after the operation, the experts notice something that is never evident to regular surgeries. Wang was able to get up the bed as soon as the surgery was finished and was able to recover from his wounds and surgery after less than a week.
Normally, general recovery duration last more than a week. In some situations, recovery happened after several months. Patients who underwent regular surgical operations are also impossible to get up after the surgery is done. Also, most of the time, extensive bleeding always happens during the manual procedure.
All these have been altered through China's very first robotic surgery robot, which cost about 15 million yuan or about $2.31 million to build. This orthopedic robotic system is referred to by experts as Tinavi or Tianji in Chinese.
The Tianji robotic system is capable of being the perfect surgeon's assistant with tasks that focus more on "the extremities of the patient as well as pelvic fractures, and operations on the whole spinal segment (cervical, thoracic, lumbar, sacral vertebrae)", as reported by Next Shark.
Also, the system was programmed to be able to guide the surgeons all throughout the surgery by providing them surgical blueprints through multimodality imaging, which features trauma procedures and spine information.
Furthermore, Tianji became very effective and efficient in the medical field as it was also equipped with an optical tracking system, which makes it possible to monitor and perform 3D scanning all throughout the procedure. "Like GPS, it can also carry out real-time tracking to precisely position on the bones. Its robotic arm increases the consistency between surgical paths and planned trajectories," China Daily reports.
