Chapter 1040: Chapter 1042: It’s Him, It’s Him! (Extra 2 for Alliance Hierarch Huowu Chifeng) Chapter 1040: Chapter 1042: It’s Him, It’s Him! (Extra 2 for Alliance Hierarch Huowu Chifeng) Hearing Zhao Lixin’s student ntion surgery, Chen Cang suddenly rembered another matter.
It was about the certificate.
To operate such machinery for clinical surgery, one must obtain an official certificate.
It’s just like driving; you need a driver’s license.
“Director Zhao, how can one obtain this certificate?” Chen Cang asked curiously.
Zhao Lixin said with a smile, “Generally speaking, after undergoing online training, offline animal experintal operations, examinations, and obtaining a certificate, one is qualified to perform clinical surgery.”
“But… Team Leader Chen, you probably don’t need to go through these processes, just perform one animal experintal operation.”
Upon hearing this, Chen Cang realized he had such authority?
Zhao Lixin passed Chen Cang the phone number he had retained: “I’ll help you contact them to see when their staff can make a trip here.”
Chen Cang nodded and dialed the number.
Da Vinci robots have subsidiaries worldwide, and upon receiving this information, he imdiately contacted the head office of ISI directly.
Arican Intuitive Surgical, Inc. (hereafter referred to as ISI, as the full na is too long…)
Originally, Chen Cang thought he would have to wait a long ti, but before he could turn around to leave, a call ca in.
“Hello Professor Chen, I am Hadai-Budd, the project manager at ISI.
For your assessnt, we can conduct it online, and if it’s convenient for you, we will arrange for staff to review it.”
After hearing this, Chen Cang nodded, “Is it convenient now?”
Hadai-Budd was montarily stunned, “Now? Convenient! Of course, it’s convenient. I will imdiately contact the assessnt personnel. It will take about 30 minutes. Once you are ready on your end, we can proceed using remote video.”
After hearing this, Chen Cang nodded.
After hanging up, Chen Cang looked at He Zhiqian, “Director He, do we have any animals in our lab now?”
He Zhiqian nodded, “Yes, Team Leader Chen, what kind of surgery do you need to perform?”
Chen Cang thought for a mont, “A pig pancreatic duct repair surgery. A healthy pig is fine. I will first damage it and then carry out the repair.”
This was easy to manage; He Zhiqian promptly called the lab, requesting the delivery of a pig for experintal use.
Generally, large triple-A hospitals have their own research bases.
More capable hospitals operate their own bases, and those without the capability generally have a collaborative unit.
In no ti, a piglet was delivered.
The pig’s pancreatic duct is finer than a human’s, which ans the surgery’s difficulty increases slightly.
This was also a first for Chen Cang , as he had never perford on small animals before; he always used simulated humans in the simulation space.
At this ti, at the Arican ISI company, Hadibude, as the head of the Da Vinci surgical robot promotion departnt, quickly contacted the assessnt departnt’s staff to be on-site.
So far in China, only Arican ISI’s surgical robot had been approved for registration.
But the promotion process was not very smooth; the robot’s approval was very strict, and the fourth generation Da Vinci surgical robot was only approved in December 2018.
Moreover, the developnt process was quite slow, especially since China is the country with the largest population and market.
If Chen Cang could effectively use the Da Vinci robot, it would be of great importance to ISI’s overseas promotion.
Thus, this assessnt was taken very seriously, even to the extent that the company’s vice-president personally attended in the video broadcast room.
This is the influence of a celebrity!
After all, Chen Cang was a popular figure at the current gastrointestinal reconstruction conference; if a partnership could be ford, it wasn’t important who becos the chairman for ISI, but rather who could help promote their robot.
Before long, once the video was opened, Chen Cang began his introduction.
“This is a healthy pig. The aim of my surgery is to damage its pancreatic duct and then repair it.”
Upon hearing Chen Cang utter these words, the assessnt personnel at ISI were also stunned!
Why not perform an appendectomy?
The assessnt was actually just basic, and Chen Cang was… voluntarily raising the difficulty level for himself?
Was he showing off?
Of course not!
People cooperate with each other; ISI values Chen Cang, but Chen Cang also values ISI.
His requirent for himself was to show ISI his potential; if he could use the Da Vinci robot to refine the concept of gastrointestinal reconstruction and simultaneously handle such high-difficulty operations as pancreatic duct repairs.
This would undoubtedly be a huge temptation for ISI in promoting the Da Vinci robot.
Jim Lawrence had rely executed a traditional gastrointestinal tract reconstruction using the Da Vinci robot.
That was not enough to attract the entire world, since it only involved basic micro-control capabilities of the machine.
But Chen Cang was different, he could combine his own concepts with the advantages of the Da Vinci surgical robot for a powerful collaboration.
In this way, by establishing his own surgical system and integrating it with the Da Vinci system, he could then begin the surgery, which would lower the difficulty of Chen’s gastrointestinal tract reconstruction and increase stability.
It was a strong collaboration, and Chen Cang’s goal was to make ISI sufficiently value him, to show them he could bring them a future.
It was just like X-pri technology; having good technology isn’t enough, you need soone to create a guideline for it!
The sa applies to Da Vinci, which had existed for over a decade and monopolized the market for many years, yet still hadn’t expanded its market share, with total assets never breaking through the $4 billion threshold.
They needed soone impressive to showcase the functions of the Da Vinci surgery.
Chen Cang knew their intentions, and he had his own thoughts as well.
That was to offer a fair and reasonable price, or even a lower one!
If it were possible to eliminate the $30,000 to $40,000 price difference over conventional surgeries, it would be beneficial for everyone.
Before dostically-produced robots could erge, Chen Cang needed to lower the price of Da Vinci robotic surgeries in the dostic market.
Why should it cost 20 million yuan dostically when it cost 10 million yuan overseas?
That was unreasonable!
If it were possible to reduce costs across the board.
To enhance surgical outcos, lower surgical risks, reduce surgery costs, improve patient outcos, and shorten recovery periods…
Why wouldn’t Chen Cang be pleased?
It is important to note that the place with the most Da Vinci robots was not the large public hospitals, but United Family Private Hospital.
This was due to the price.
Therefore, Chen Cang had already planned what to do next.
He knew what he should do; the first step was to showcase his excellence and captivate their hearts!
Under everyone’s watchful eyes, what Chen Cang was set to perform today was a complex and delicate pancreatic duct repair surgery.
This would increase his bargaining power in future negotiations.
The surgery began with a crisp “Da Vinci is ready!”
The surgery officially started.
Four holes the size of soybeans were ford, and Chen Cang began his operation, with four tal arms pushing him to his limits.
Complex operation?
Specialized demonstration?
Mirror following the scalpel?
Sorry, this is just basic!
…
The skills Chen Cang displayed during the surgery left all observers utterly speechless!
The ISI assessors were suddenly stunned. Was this a assessnt?
Are you sure you’re not just showing off?
But then, the head of the R&D departnt excitedly exclaid, “It’s him! It’s him! It’s definitely him!”
So far, this professor from MIT had seen many surgeries, but only Chen Cang’s resembled the conceptual surgeries he had imagined—performing operations that one could only conceive of in their mind. It was nothing short of magical!
And even surpassed his expectations!
This is what the true master of the Da Vinci robot looks like!
Only him!
Everyone was suddenly dumbfounded, turning around and staring at the excited head of engineering, who was dancing and watching the screen while chanting the song of Nezha!
What’s gotten into the head engineer today…
