When the Doctor Uses A Hack

After receiving a call from Chen Cang, Zheng Guotan had an in-depth conversation with him.

He mainly listened to Chen Cang's suggestions.

Zheng Guotan was actually very interested in this industry because the real estate industry was definitely not a sustainable path, and many magnates had already begun to gradually transform.

Yet, Zheng Guotan was still hesitant to make a decision.

The medical and healthcare industry was an option, and more than once, investment companies had approached Zheng Guotan to discuss this matter in detail.

But Zheng Guotan was too hesitant to act upon things he didn't understand.

However, the phone call from Chen Cang today had attracted Zheng Guotan's attention!

After listening to Chen Cang discuss the situation with x-pri and its specific development model, Zheng Guotan was moved and pondered for a moment.

If it was as Chen Cang had said, then investing in Eckes company would indeed be a very good direction.

Regarding Chen Cang's phone call, Zheng Guotan was also very touched, as it meant a lot for him to be remembered for this kind of matter—he was considered one of their own.

Chen Cang ended the call and rested for a while.

One person simply can't earn all the money; his funds would grow faster by following the big players and taking their lead. Although Anxu Pharmaceuticals had always been managed by Gu Xin, Chen Cang was actually the major shareholder.

And now, the x-pri technology represented a new opportunity.

However, the piece of meat was too big, naturally requiring the involvement of a major capitalist tycoon like Zheng Guotan to participate.

Next, Chen Cang immersed himself in surgery.

Further discussions of x-pri would have to wait until after the meeting, especially since Eckes, having just been abandoned by Johnson, still needed to perfect and solve various minor issues and couldn't distract himself at the moment.

...

The consensus on gastrointestinal tract reconstruction had now been completed, and a complete set of concepts had been bound into a volume, waiting for the next step of verification work.

Meanwhile, the time until the upcoming conference was getting closer, now less than three days away.

However, during the production of the pancreatic duct repair guideline, an issue emerged.

Chen Cang had simplified pancreatic duct repair to give everyone a set of effective surgical methods.

But now, a patient's pancreatic duct repair had failed, forcing an alteration in the surgical plan midway, which, undoubtedly made Chen Cang and others fall silent.

After a pancreatic duct resection, the surgery had to be adjusted, making the injury much more difficult than before.

Pancreatic surgeries were inherently delicate, and pancreatic duct repairs were even more so, requiring the surgeon to be in an especially good state and have solid fundamental skills.

But!

The human body has its limitations, making it impossible for surgeries to go perfectly 100% of the time.

As long as the success rate is maintained within a certain ratio, it is considered good.

Chen Cang didn't have obsessive-compulsive disorder.

However, the deeper his understanding, the more Chen Cang realized the number of issues was increasing.

The first issue was with pancreatic duct repairs—they can't be done laparoscopically!

This meant that even for an emergency surgery for acute pancreatitis, an open surgery was required!

Not to mention surgeries involving gastrointestinal reconstruction like pancreatoduodenectomy.

The second issue concerned precision and stability—how to overcome these problems?

For many members of the group, these did not seem to be big issues, as they had already achieved much change and progress.

To them, Chen Cang appeared to be too self-critical.

With the conference fast approaching and everyone's plane tickets already booked, for a flight early the day after tomorrow,

Chen Cang, however, seemed distracted these past days.

His mind was preoccupied with trying to solve these two problems, and he began searching through literature and publications.

At that moment, on the cover of the "Journal of the American Medical Association," a portrait appeared in Chen Cang's field of vision.

Jim Lawrence used the Da Vinci surgical robot system to analyze the results of 500 pancreatoduodenectomy surgeries!

Upon reading this paper, Chen Cang was stunned.

500 Da Vinci robotic pancreatoduodenectomies.

That was incredibly impressive.

Let alone 500 cases, even compiling statistics for 50 Da Vinci robotic surgeries was tough.

Perhaps this was Jim Lawrence's big reveal.

Just two days before the meeting was broadcast.

The Da Vinci surgical robot system was currently a developing trend, with more and more people starting to pay attention to this operating system.

But the only downside was that it was too expensive, with ninety-five percent of patients unable to afford it.

After all, starting the machine alone costs tens of thousands of US dollars, not to mention the delicate mechanical arms.

Chen Cang quickly opened up the paper to read, and the more he read, the more pleasantly surprised he became.

Jim Lawrence was undeniably a remarkable talent.

The article, although a guideline, had genuinely refined many surgical concepts.

Chen Cang found reading it hugely beneficial.

Its appearance also broadened Chen Cang's horizons.

He knew what direction he should put his effort into.

It was the Da Vinci surgical robot operating system!

Compared to other minimally invasive surgeries, robotic surgery provided the operator with a three-dimensional view and a better observation angle.

In addition, the surgery system's Endowrist TM instruments featured seven degrees of freedom, motion tremor filtration, movement scaling, and standardization of actions, allowing for a full range of simulation of the surgeon's hand movements during surgery!

With this, Chen Cang could cooperate with the Da Vinci robot system company to simulate the pancreatic duct repair surgery, filter out tremors, reduce misoperations and accidental damage during the procedure, better protect the surrounding tissue of the operative field, and effectively reduce intraoperative bleeding!

At the same time, the robot greatly reduced the difficulty of suturing under laparoscopy, making the most challenging aspect of minimally invasive surgery—the delicate tissue reconstruction—possible.

Now, the two problems he faced were solved!

Having figured this out, Chen Cang was eager to start preparing.

There naturally wasn't a surgical robot in the emergency department, but the department of general surgery did have one. When it had been introduced, many had tried to use it, but to be honest,

Only one or two were truly proficient with it.

Thinking this over, Chen Cang didn't bother with anything else and picked up the phone to contact He Zhiqian to discuss the matter.

But at this moment, Chen Cang's phone rang.

It was Austar, who had already returned to his country.

"Professor Chen, aside from the executive directors, this year's president voting has added some influential professional journals and universities."

"I've just read Jim Lawrence's paper, and now I suspect that's one of his major supporters!"

"You know, efforts have been made for over a decade to popularize surgical robots; the publication of this guideline could be very influential."

After hearing this, Chen Cang laughed and nodded, "Thank you, Austar! I got it."

Austar sighed silently; he had never seen Chen Cang use the Da Vinci robot, which could be a shortcoming for him!
