Abstract:
The purpose of minimally invasive thyroid surgery is to perform refined surgery through an intelligent operating system, achieving minimal physical and psychological trauma for patients, thereby improving their quality of life. At present, the commonly used minimally invasive surgical methods are laparoscopic surgery and robotic surgery, both by creating tunnels from a distance to the thyroid gland, requiring high technical requirements for surgical instruments and robotic surgeons. Regardless of the type of minimally invasive surgery, in the early stages of implementation, doctors have a process of exposure, understanding, proficient mastery, and innovative expansion of the system, instruments, operating methods, and surgical thinking. In this process, it is inevitable to encounter some erroneous operations, which are the main causes of medical safety adverse events, including complications, and bring a failed medical experience to patients. At the same time, mistakes can also cause psychological burden for robotic surgeons and have an impact on the development of new technologies. The occurrence of errors also depends on the open surgical experience and clinical adaptability of robotic surgeons, and experienced robotic surgeons can significantly reduce errors. With the innovation of medical technology and the urgent demand of patients for efficacy and beauty, errors should not be a factor hindering the development of minimally invasive thyroid surgery. This article will analyze the erroneous operations of robot surgeons, formulates countermeasures, and provides reference for the safe implementation of robot surgery, thereby promoting the development of intelligent precision minimally invasive surgery, and further benefiting patients with minimally invasive needs.
