The 3 -year -old boy was rushed to the hospital because of the congenital gallbladder cyst and acute pancreatitis. In order to make children traumatic and recover quickly, on June 20, general surgery experts from Wuhan Children's Hospital enabled Da Vinci Robotics and applied for charity subsidies. This is the 500th robotic surgery since the hospital launched the Da Vinci Robot in October 2020.

Lei Lei (a pseudonym) lived in Huanggang. Two days ago, Lei Lei always said that his stomach pain and had some nausea and vomiting. Ms. Zhang felt very strange that the child had neither unclean or injured, so she took the baby to the local hospital for treatment. After color Doppler ultrasound and CT examination, doctors found that Lei Lei might suffer from bile duct dilatation and acute pancreatitis.

On June 11, Ms. Zhang took her baby to Wuhan Children's Hospital for treatment, and confirmed that Lei Lei suffered from congenital biliary cysts. If the treatment is not timely, the child's condition will become heavier and may even be in danger of life. According to the child's condition, Yan Xueqiang, the person in charge of the Second Hospital of Wuhan Children's Hospital, considers the use of Da Vinci robot to perform surgery.

Expert "Partner" Da Vinci Robot Surgery for Children

"Use the Da Vinci robot to perform surgery, which can separate and sophisticated organize and surgery stable and finely. Children will recover faster and better." Dr. Yan Xueqiang told his parents. Lei Lei's family was very recognized, but because of limited economic conditions, he was hesitant. Medical staff told parents that they could apply for some charity rescue projects that were carried out at the hospital to ease economic pressure.

On June 20, the operation began. Under the high-definition naked eye "3D" vision, Dr. Yan Xueqiang manipulated Da Vinci robot to remove lesions such as gallbladder cysts and other lesions, and performed hepatitis pipe an empty intestinal Roux-y to help the children's bile and pancreas to be diverted and discharged smoothly into the intestine. Inside the road, pancreatic fluid reflux.

Duan Xufei, deputy dean of Wuhan Children's Hospital and experts from general surgery, introduced that on October 23, 2020, Wuhan Children's Hospital took the lead in introducing Da Vinci robots in the National Women's and Children's Hospital, opening a new era of Huazhong pediatric surgery. For more than a year, 500 cases have been completed, and the youngest children have only two days.

Duan Xufei said that from school -age children to less than a month, 50 species involved 50 kinds of diseases, including general surgery, cardiac surgery, neonatal surgery, urology, etc., covering all the children's specialties that Da Vinci can do. From the current point of view, the advantages of small trauma, thorough resection, fast recovery, and less complications. The bleeding during children's surgery is reduced by about half, and the discharge time can be 1 to 2 days in advance.

In the future, under the development of 5G networks, robot surgery will also span regional restrictions to achieve online remote surgery and benefit more children. Experts also remind parents that Da Vinci robots are suitable for higher complexity and certain difficulty coefficients. Experts will formulate the optimal surgical solution based on the specific characteristics of the children.
