Director Tan is performing a surgery, a posterior cervical pedicle screw fixation following a cervical vertebral fracture.
The exposure and decompression parts of the surgery have been completed, now waiting for Yang Ping to deploy pedicle screws using the Tian Ji surgical robot.
Director Tan has completed over three hundred surgeries with the Tian Ji robotic system, which involve procedures on the spine, pelvis, and fractures of extremities. His surgical experience is among the top in the country.
For laparoscopic surgery with the Da Vinci system, most of the surgery can be completed using several robotic arms, with the assistant only being required to assist with sterlizing, establishing pathways, and changing instruments.
