Using the "meta-universe" technology, the first visual skin flap transplantation in China was successfully carried out.

Thanks to CTOnews.com netizen knsgccxr for the clue delivery! CTOnews.com, Sept. 7 (Xinhua)-- Siemens Medical official account announced today that the country's first visual skin flap transplantation was successfully carried out at Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University, marking the official realization of the "meta-universe on the operating table".

It is reported that a 58-year-old patient with left tongue cancer in our hospital needs surgery, but because of the variability of the blood vessels of the anterolateral thigh flap, only relying on the traditional surgical planning, we can not accurately find a reliable perforating artery during the operation. to ensure that the flap is 100% successful.

Fan Song, director of oral and maxillofacial surgery in the hospital, used the "meta-universe" medical teaching and research solution to complete the operation. According to reports, by registering the patient's entity in real time with the holographic bionic scene rendering, the operation can accurately outline the course of blood vessels in the relevant areas on the surface of the human body, thus realizing "visual and free" skin flap cutting, which can greatly shorten the operation time and increase the accuracy of the operation.

Chief physician Fan Song pointed out that the successful implementation of the country's first visual skin flap transplantation is of great significance to the development of clinical scientific research. In the future, the application scenarios such as visual navigation in operating rooms and catheterization rooms will be expanded and introduced into routine clinical practice.

CTOnews.com learned from Siemens that in the process of visual skin flap transplantation, Siemens Medical dual-source CT reconstructed the impact of holographic bionic rendering, and made doctors see the position relationship of bones, blood vessels and soft tissue, so as to accurately determine the appropriate and correct skin flap area.
