"Minimally invasive" surgery to remove abdominal tumors! Chinese expert endoscopy technology amazing worldwide.

(Health Times reporter Yan Wei special correspondent at Zhongshan Hospital affiliated with Fudan University Feng Ying)
2017 Shanghai International Digestive Endoscopy Seminar and the 10th China-Japan ESD Summit Forum, from the United States, Europe, Brazil, Japan, Taiwan, Hong Kong and the Mainland endoscopic experts even sat down, only to watch a host Fudan University affiliated Zhongshan Hospital Center Center director Zhou Pinghong surgery live. After the operation, the experts present were shocked by Zhou Pinghong's endoscopic tunnel removal of gastrointestinal tumors (ETERs).Zhou Pinghong, director of the endoscopic center of Zhongshan Hospital affiliated with Fudan University ,
"micro-invasive" endoscopy surgery shocked the world
Professor Zhou Pinghong told the Health Times that the surgery he performed was a "natural cavity endoscopy surgery" that uses the body's own esophagus and gastrointestinal tract: the operator first establishes a tunnel on the stomach wall, opens the "inlet" into the abdominal cavity, and then extends the gastroscope into the abdominal cavity. Unlike traditional laparoscopic surgery, the operation does not open the abdomen, completely under the gastroscopy, after the operation there is no scar on the abdominal wall. In an age when surgery has moved toward minimally invasive, it can be counted as "minimally invasive".
dares to burrow from the stomach wall to the abdominal cavity of the idea is unique, but also make the scene of the top endoscopic experts shocked is Professor Zhou Pinghong with gastroscopy gastrointestinal tumor removal, suture techniques skill, than the Chinese usually eat with chopsticks to drive light.
constant innovation Zhongshan Hospital endoscopy surgery is changing rapidly
Zhongshan Hospital endoscopy center since 2006 to take the lead in the domestic implementation of the digestive tract endocoscopy under-membrane peeling (ESD), each year to complete more than 2500 cases of ESD surgery, is the largest completion of ESD surgery, the most experienced hospital.Professor Zhou Pinghong demonstration surgery
on the basis of ESD treatment of early cancer, the center was the first in the world to carry out endoscopic mucosa mining (ESE) and full-layer excision (EFTR) to treat gastrointestinal inherent muscle tumors, and derived a variety of endoscopic gastrointestinal tube wall suture technology. In 2010, the Center in China for the first time to carry out endoscopy (POEM) treatment of septic sagging, so far completed more than 2,800 cases, accounting for half of the world's total number of cases. On the basis of PEOM surgery, the center also pioneered another tunnel endoscopic technology - tunnel tumor excision (STER) by mucous membrane, which greatly improved the safety of endoscopic treatment of the lower tumor of the digestive tract mucosa, and applied the tunnel endoscopic technology to the treatment of esophageal diverticulity, claustrophobic spasms and extracavityous tumors, enriching the connotation of tunnel endoscopy technology.
2016, Professor Zhou Pinghong, on the basis of the last 10 years of mirror excision, has made another innovation, the first endoscopy tunnel removal of gastrointestinal tumors (ETER) through an endoscopy tunnel, and in 2017 an endoscopic tunnel gallbladder incision.Professor
Zhou Pinghong proudly told reporters that the 37-bed Shanghai Zhongshan Hospital Endoscopy Center in 2016 treated more than 110,000 cases, through gastroenteroscopy for more than 10,000 patients have been surgically operated, of which 2/3 for the difficult level 4 surgery, the average number of days in hospital has been reduced to 2.4 days. Patients who met the endoscopic treatment were also nearly half as expensive as open abdominal surgery.
