According to Voice of China, the 70-year-old William Beaver is an assistant pastor from the Church of Our Lady of St. Mary in Oxford. He was very distressed when he suffered from eye diseases. His vision was very distorted, just like from the playground mirror. Look at things the same. A few days ago, William Beaver received a "magic" operation at the John Radcliffe Hospital in Oxford, England. His vision is gradually recovering. Beaver praises surgery as a myth.
What kind of "magic" surgery is this? In fact, Beaver accepted an eye surgery by a robotic surgeon. Specifically, it relies on robot assistance to perform surgery inside the patient's eyes. Although machine-assisted surgery is common in the medical community, it is the first in the world to operate inside the eye.
The 70-year-old British pastor William Beaver suffers from eye diseases. A thin film appears on the surface of his retina, which makes the image he sees distorted, just like looking at things in a mirror. Since this film is only 0.01 mm thick, how to remove the film without damaging the Beaver's retina becomes a problem for doctors.
Doctors at the John Radcliffe Hospital in Oxford, England, accepted the problem. The doctor at the hospital operated the robot through the touch screen, guided a fine needle into the eyeball, and monitored the operation through the microscope to bring the patient's eye. Films with an internal thickness of only 0.01 mm are stripped.
Beaver said after the operation, "This is like a myth, but it has come true. I am fortunate to be the first person to undergo this operation." Currently, Beaver's vision has recovered, and the medical team hopes to use this. A robotic treatment approach lays the foundation for more complex eye surgery that can only be performed by humans for the benefit of more patients.
Although machine-assisted surgery is common in the medical world, it is the first in the world to operate inside the eye. What are the advantages of robotic surgery? Which ophthalmic conditions are suitable for? Tian Wei, deputy director of the Department of Ophthalmology, Beijing Tongren Hospital, said that the first few medical concepts should be clarified. The first concept is, what is a robot? A robot is actually an intelligent computer. When the computer has a learning function, it can be called a robot. The second concept is, what is surgery? Before the last century, it was basically a hands-on operation. One person had a knife. The knife was a pure blade. Without any machine involvement, this was called surgery. After the 1980s and 1990s, machines have been involved in the field of surgery, becoming a very common phenomenon. In fact, computer-assisted operation is very common, such as micro-incision phacoemulsification for cataracts to ensure vitrectomy, all using machines. People want to operate this machine. In other words, the current surgery is not completely done by doctors, but depends on very sophisticated instruments.
Professor Robert McLaren, who manipulated the robot for Beaver's surgery, said, "The current laser scanning and microscopy technology allows people to examine retinal diseases at a microscopic level, but this is beyond the physiological limits of human hand-operated. The system has opened a new page for the development of ophthalmic surgery, making it impossible to perform surgery." So, will robot surgery be more and more promoted in the future? Or, will robotic surgery replace human hand-operated surgery? In this regard, Tian Wei believes that robots are still not a substitute for doctors. why? First of all, treatment is not a simple surgical technique, but a problem of thinking. The final decision is still the doctor's clinical thinking, in the end how to solve this disease, how to cure this disease, or rely on the human brain, the machine can not replace. What robots can do for doctors is, for example, doctors have a lot of experience, but because of his age, or physical fatigue, or the organization is too precise, it is impossible to cut 100%. In this case, the robot can exert its own advantages, machine cutting The degree of sophistication must be more refined than what ordinary people do. But the machine is rigid, and it will not be dealt with in some unexpected situations. In the end, it depends on people.
