A Stellar Showcase by the National Center for Respiratory Medicine
At 9:00 AM, Professor He Jianxing set the stage for this groundbreaking event with several extraordinary surgeries, including metaverse-guided precision localization combined with glass-free 3D Tubeless single-port thoracoscopic sub-lobar resections. Powered by the robust scientific research and clinical expertise of the National Center for Respiratory Medicine, the Tubeless non-intubation surgical system integrates cutting-edge technologies like metaverse-based precision guidance and glass-free 3D imaging. Under the overarching principle of minimally invasive surgery, it achieves comprehensive coverage of thoracic tumor and transplantation procedures.
Under the guidance of Professor He Jianxing and with seamless collaboration from the anesthesia team, Professor Li Shuben presented a highly complex Tubeless single-port thoracoscopic carinal reconstruction surgery. The procedure sparked animated discussions among participants, fostering vibrant exchanges of ideas about Tubeless thoracoscopic surgery techniques.
