Ruijin Hospital: Domestic Tumai ® Significant breakthrough of robotic surgical system in pancreatic surgery

In the operating room of Ruijin Hospital, as Professor Shen Baiyong said, “The surgery is over, remove the machine!”, another domestically produced Tumai was used ® The pancreatic surgery performed by the robotic surgical system has been declared a complete success. Recently, the Pancreatic Surgery Department of Ruijin Hospital has successfully completed 5 pancreatic body and tail resection surgeries with this system, which is of great significance and marks the safe application of domestic robotic surgical systems in the field of pancreatic surgery.
1、 Tumai ® Excellent performance of robotic surgical systems
Tumai ® The robotic surgical system is equipped with four robotic arms, whose instrument heads can move freely and accurately simulate human hand movements. During the surgical operation, it can accurately grip and smoothly complete a series of complex steps such as cutting, coagulation, and dissociation. At present, the system has obtained the medical device production license and product registration certificate issued by the National Health Commission, which can not only be applied to urological surgery, but also realize commercial production and sales. However, this is the first time such a large-scale sample application has been made in the field of pancreatic surgery.
2、 Professor Shen Baiyong’s deep participation and recognition
Professor Shen Baiyong introduced, “This machine is very good. I believe that after becoming familiar with and accustomed to operating it, the largest surgery in general surgery, such as pancreaticoduodenectomy, can also be completed with this system.” Since 2020, Professor Shen has been a specially invited expert for Tumai ® Provided clinical recommendations for the development and application of robotic surgical systems, and deeply participated in the development of the system. At first, he also had concerns about operational delays and limited range of motion, but with the success of the first surgery, these concerns gradually dissipated.
3、 The Development History and Advantages of Robotic Surgical Systems
Since the end of the last century, robotic surgical systems have developed rapidly and have been widely used in almost all surgical departments such as general surgery, thoracic surgery, gynecology, and urology. Their safety and effectiveness have been fully verified. With the precise and flexible operation brought by the dexterous robotic arm, robot surgery not only provides patients with small incisions and minimally invasive injuries, but also brings surgeons a better surgical experience than laparoscopy, reducing their physical exertion and gradually becoming one of the first choices for surgeons to perform minimally invasive surgery. Since the introduction of this technology in China in 2009, nearly 300000 cases of various types of robotic surgeries have been completed, among which robotic pancreatic surgery leads other countries in both the quantity and quality of surgeries. In 2015, the government encouraged technology companies to design and develop domestically produced robotic surgical systems with independent intellectual property rights. Shanghai Minimally Invasive Medical Robot (Group) Co., Ltd.’s Tumai ® Robot surgery systems have emerged, and Professor Shen Baiyong from Ruijin Hospital is the former president of the World Society of Robot Surgery.
4、 Project Support and Future Prospects
The pancreatic surgery carried out by Ruijin Hospital this time has received strong support from the high-tech field project of the Shanghai Science and Technology Commission’s “Science and Technology Innovation Action Plan”. The completed surgery fully confirms Tumai ® The robotic surgical system can meet the surgical requirements of pancreatic surgery, providing a strong theoretical basis for further promoting domestic robotic surgical systems. In the future, Ruijin Hospital’s pancreatic surgery department plans to complete a total of 15 cases of pancreatic body and tail resection and 5 other pancreatic surgery procedures, and is expected to become the first in China to use Tumai through large-scale use ® The robotic surgical system is used to complete pancreatic surgery in a tertiary hospital.
