[Reporter Gan Menglin/New Taipei Report] New Taipei City Tucheng Hospital established the "Da Vinci Minimally Invasive Surgery Center" in March this year, making it the first municipal hospital in New Taipei City to set up this center.

Chen Runqiu, director of the Health Bureau of the New Taipei City Government, said that she is very affirmed that Tucheng Hospital has developed the application of minimally invasive surgery in an all-round way, with the mission of improving medical quality, and also thanked the hospital for providing precise medical services to the citizens of New Taipei City.

You Mingjin, Director of the Surgery Department of Tucheng Hospital, said that robotic arm surgery is becoming more and more important in the field of surgical medicine. In the future, they will continue to lead various sub-specialties to comprehensively develop robotic arm minimally invasive surgery.

Da Vinci robotic arm surgery uses 3D high-resolution image presentation. By operating the robotic arm, only five wounds less than 1 cm are needed, and the doctor can perform many complex fine movements and sutures, breaking through the limitations of traditional surgery. The advantage of this operation is that the postoperative wound is small, the amount of bleeding is less, and the occurrence of complications is reduced, and the recovery time of the patient is also greatly shortened.

Liu Zhongyi, director of the Da Vinci Minimally Invasive Surgery Center, pointed out that prostate cancer is the top 10 causes of cancer death in my country. At present, surgery is still the main treatment for early-stage prostate cancer. He previously treated a 60-year-old man with early-stage prostate cancer. For a multi-year-old male, after Da Vinci surgery to remove the tumor, the bladder and urethra are reconstructed at the same time. The robotic arm can be used to perform deep multi-layer sutures. The minimal trauma is small, the recovery is faster, and the risk of postoperative urinary incontinence can also be reduced.

Dean Huang Jinglong said that as the National Health Insurance Department announced that 17 Da Vinci surgeries will be included in the health insurance benefits this year, it will help reduce the burden of medical treatment for the public. In the future, there will be one more choice for related surgeries, and they will continue to provide better surgeries Quality, fulfilling the social responsibility of public hospitals.
