At the same time, the "Robot Surgery Clinical Training and Research and Development Center" was established, and the awarding ceremony was held to issue the certificate of robot training class.

Mr. Wenlong Yang , General manager of Suzhou KangDuo, delivered a speech

During the meeting, Mr. Wenlong Yang , general manager of Suzhou KangDuo, delivered a speech on behalf of Suzhou KangDuo. Wenlong Yang  said, "It is my great honor to participate in this grand meeting and express my heartfelt thanks to the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University for establishing the Clinical Training Center and Research and Development Center of Robotic Surgery. In the future, Suzhou KangDuo will continue to adhere to its core, renew its vitality with science and technology, and commit itself to becoming a domestic surgical robot with independent intellectual property rights of the Chinese people, so as to realize the popularity of domestic surgical robots, and accelerate the continuous innovation of products, so that Chinese doctors and ordinary people can enjoy advanced surgical robot technology more quickly."

To  seek the future development of surgical robot

On April 15, under the cooperation of Professor Li Xuesong, Prof. Cheng Chen and the medical team of Peking University First Hospital, KangDuo Robot completed the live demonstration of KangDuo Robot +4K fluorescence imaging assisted vesical flap ureter repair and radical prostatectomy respectively. The whole operation is smooth, and the KangDuo Robot is flexible and stable under the operation of two experts to meet the needs of accurate surgery. The wonderful surgical demonstration was well received by experts both in the meeting room and online. Experts said that the KangDuo Robot open surgeon console provides superior, second-to-none 3D surgical field of vision resolution, demonstrating its unique features and advantages in assisting physicians with delicate operations.

According to the statistics of the backstage data of the conference organizer, the total number of viewers of the two surgeries was 72,900 +, and the average number of viewers of a single surgery was 36,400 +, which set the first place in the average viewing number of a single live broadcast of this conference.

Prof. Li Xuesong gave a demonstration of KangDuo Robot +4K fluorescence imaging assisted vesical flap ureter repair

The patient was a 43-year-old male. Diuretic renal dynamic imaging suggested 10ml/min on the right side. Left side 26ml/min; Creatinine of 100umol/L, CTU and ureteral contra-radiography indicated that ureteral stenosis across iliac vessels. According to the guidance of evidence-based medicine, KangDuo Robot assisted vesical flap ureter repair was planned for him.

At the beginning of the operation, the ureter hidden behind the peritoneum was clearly visible and stratified under the guidance of high-definition three-dimensional images provided by the open surgeon console of KangDuo Robot and 4K fluorescence technology. Then Professor Li Xuesong flexibly controlled the KangDuo Robot multi-degree-of-freedom surgical instruments to expose and dissociate the ureter and bladder, and suspended the bladder and the lumbar minor tendon arch to reduce the length of ureter stenosis, and then precisely performed bladder flap anastomosis with the ureter. The whole operation was stable and smooth, and Professor Li Xuesong completed the operation with ease using Kondo Robot.

After surgery, Prof.Xuesong Li said that the open surgeon console of KangDuo Robot can better protect the cervical and lumbar vertebrae of surgeons and improve the surgical experience of surgeons. At the same time, compared with the previous secret box operation console, it can also significantly reduce eye fatigue. More importantly, it has been verified by clinical studies of many clinical operations in urology, which shows that KangDuo Robot has been capable of high-difficulty and high-complexity operations.

Professor Chen Cheng conducted a demonstration of KangDuo Robot assisted radical resection of prostate cancer

The 72-year-old male patient, who was diagnosed with prostate cancer before surgery, was found to be of moderate risk grade by puncture examination. The medical team of Professor Chen Cheng decided to perform KangDuo Robot assisted radical resection of prostate cancer. During the surgery, the KangDuo Robot open surgeon console provided a 3D view of the pelvic anatomy in real view of Chen Cheng. At the same time, the multi-degree of freedom surgical instruments under the control of Chen Cheng quickly and accurately performed bilateral lymph node dissection, bladder neck dissection and prostate removal. In addition, in the process of urethral reconstruction, precise suture ensures high-quality urethral anastomosis, effectively avoiding the risk of postoperative urine leakage and improving the quality of life of patients.

After the live broadcast of the surgery, Prof. Cheng Chen highly affirmed the excellent performance of KangDuo Robot. The open surgeon console of KangDuo Robot provided high-definition three-dimensional vision that accurately presents the pelvic floor fascia tissue layers and seminal vesicle structure, enabling more accurate separation, more precise intraoperative suture, less bleeding, and faster patient recovery.

Many experts praised for the excellent performance of KangDuo Robot 

The unique open multi-screen surgeon console of KangDuo Robot attracted many experts and leaders to attend the conference. By carefully observing the product demonstration, carefully understanding the technical advantages of the product, and personally experiencing the operational performance of the product, the expert leaders fully understand KangDuo Robot, and gave high recognition and praise.

After the test drive, many experts praised the KangDuo Robot open multi-screen surgeon console for improving the operator's comfort, providing more intraoperative navigation information, while the smooth control sense allows the doctor to efficiently complete the operation. They hoped that KangDuo Robot can create more learning and experience opportunities, and promote the popularization of robotic surgical technology for the benefit of patients.

In addition, several professors paid special attention to the exploration and practice of KangDuo Robot in remote surgery: Up to now, Peking University First Hospital and Peking Union Medical College Hospital have jointly carried out several explorations on telemedicine with KangDuo Robot, and the first time worldwide((the scientific update has been carried out)) "5G+ fixed network special line", multi-point remote real-time interactive clinical surgery teaching mode, helping to promote high-end medical resources to serve the grassroots, build a regional medical consortium, and benefit more patients. In the future, KangDuo Robot will further strengthen cooperation with hospitals, explore the possibility of more surgical robots, promote the innovation and development of domestic surgical robots, and benefit more doctors and patients.
