On December 23, a number of high-level and high-standard medical academic exchange activities were held in Guangzhou at the same time. Unlike most academic activities, where "big names" in various fields play the leading role, there is an academic event where doctors from grassroots hospitals are invited to take the podium and stand in the spotlight.
The 60th anniversary celebration of the First Affiliated Hospital of Guangzhou University of Chinese Medicine, "Surgery Week of the First Affiliated Hospital of Guangzhou University of Chinese Medicine" was launched on December 18, and the 2023 joint seminar on gastrointestinal surgery, cardiothoracic surgery, breast surgery, anorectal surgery, dual-mirror combination, and surgical nursing was held on the 23rd.
The "big coffee" of surgery took the stage, showing the wisdom of surgery in China.
Professor Wang Wei, executive chairman of the conference and director of the Department of General Surgery of the First Affiliated Hospital of Guangzhou University of Chinese Medicine, said in an interview with a reporter from Yangcheng Evening News that the conference invited well-known surgical experts from inside and outside the province to attend the conference to exchange new ideas, new technologies and new norms, aiming to build a platform for exchanges and learning in the industry, such as Professor Li Ziyu of Peking University Cancer Hospital brought "Proximal Gastrectomy and Digestive Tract Reconstruction", and Professor Cheng Xiangdong of Zhejiang Cancer Hospital brought "Digestive Tract Giraffe Reconstruction after Proximal Gastrectomy". Professor Zang Lu from Ruijin Hospital Affiliated to Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine brought "Controversy and Consensus on SIEWERT Type II AEG Surgery", and Professor Xu Hao from Jiangsu Provincial People's Hospital brought "Experience Sharing of Robotic Distal Gastric Cancer" and so on. He also hopes to show the public the surgical strength of the First Affiliated Hospital of Guangzhou University of Chinese Medicine, "The hospital can not only see Chinese medicine, but also perform surgery, do good surgery, and do difficult surgery!"”
As one of the formulators of China's "Laparoscopic Gastric Cancer Surgery Guidelines (2023) Edition" and "Laparoscopic Colorectal Cancer Surgery Operation Guidelines (2023 Edition)", Professor Wang Wei introduced that in the past, China's surgical guidelines were mostly borrowed from foreign guidelines, but in recent years, China's surgical technology has developed rapidly and accumulated rich clinical experience.
In terms of surgical innovation, taking cardia cancer as an example, due to its special location, it is located at the junction of esophagus and stomach, which is a cross-border surgery, which can be done by a thoracic surgeon or gastrointestinal surgeon, but both have limitations, and the combination of the two will bring new problems such as adjusting the patient's position during surgery and prolonging the operation time. Professor Wang Wei's team has pioneered a new surgical method in the world, which enters the laparoscope from the abdominal cavity and then penetrates deep into the thoracic cavity for surgery, which can not only avoid adjusting the position, but also ensure thoracic and abdominal dissection, and in addition, it also has advantages in digestive tract reconstruction (reconnecting the esophagus with the stomach), which greatly improves the safety of the operation, and also helps to prolong the survival time of patients and improve the quality of life.
This content-rich and high-level academic feast attracted 600 professionals to participate. In the previous five-day live broadcast of surgery, 36 surgeries were live-streamed, involving gastric cancer, colorectal cancer and other diseases, and the live broadcast of surgery attracted 240,000 views.
Grassroots doctors play the leading role, and talent training is in progress.
The reporter noticed that in the afternoon of the gastrointestinal surgery sub-venue, most of the speakers were surgeons from grassroots hospitals, who shared their growth path under the shadowless lamp, experience, lessons, and difficulties and confusion they were facing, which resonated with many young listeners. For example, Dr. Yang Wancheng of Shanwei People's Hospital shared "The Road to the Advancement of Laparoscopic Technology - Experience from Advanced Study to Daily Work Implementation", Dr. Liu Hongxia of Qingdao West Coast New Area Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital shared "A Quick Record of Mengxin Going South", and Dr. Zhu Dakang of Xinfeng County Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine shared "Xiaobai Xuecheng's Return to Hometown". Then a senior surgical expert will act as an instructor to make comments. "The road to the growth of a surgeon is boring and difficult, and it is necessary to experience countless lonely days and nights under the shadowless lamp before it is possible to go to the spotlight, and you must endure loneliness and don't give up easily. Their sincere sharing as "people who have come over" has brought encouragement and hope to young doctors.
Professor Wang Wei introduced that this academic activity is also part of the series of activities of "Helping the World, Thinking of the Stomach". This series of activities was launched in 2019 and originated from a concept and pursuit - the expert team should go to the grassroots level, participate in the operation in the form of assistants, and help local doctors to carry out laparoscopic techniques, realize the homogenization of technology, and help fellow surgeons to carry out high-quality laparoscopic gastrointestinal surgery. Taishan, Nanxiong, Xinxing ......In the past four years, Professor Wang Wei's team has traveled all over Guangdong, and they have also invited surgeons from all over the world to study in Guangzhou, and facilitated regular training for grassroots doctors through live surgery. The live broadcast of the operation of this event is the 73rd live broadcast of the operation of the series of activities of "Helping the World, Thinking of the Stomach".
The event also held the "Provincial Training Base for the Surgical Basic Skills Improvement Project of the Hospital Management Institute of the National Health Commission" and the awarding ceremony of the "C-HIPEC Precision Body Cavity Thermal Perfusion Standardization ** (National) Demonstration Unit".
