Chapter 1186 Super Remote Surgery Center
Unexpectedly, Ruixing's surgical robot has already received so many orders before it has even hit the market. The biggest problem now is that the approval process in Europe and the United States is still in progress. Even if the buyers are purchasing it as scientific research equipment, they still want to buy it.

Huang Jiacai did the math and found that the current orders are for more than 300 units. To put that into perspective, top-tier brands have only sold a total of more than 700 surgical robots worldwide since their launch. Ruixing's surgical robot sold more than 300 units on its launch, achieving half of the cumulative global sales volume of others right from the start.

This was despite Ruixing Company halting the acceptance of new orders because production capacity couldn't keep up temporarily. To ensure the delivery quality of existing orders, Huang Jiacai aimed to build a world-class surgical robot brand.

The company has invested a great deal of effort in surgical robots. The flexibility, stability and precision of the robotic arms are superior to existing brands. This time, he wants to use these hundreds of machines to make a splash and establish a global presence.

Huang Jiacai sat in his office chair, pondering the order issue.

Manager Ge from the business department rushed over, knowing that the orders had probably increased again.

"Mr. Huang!"

Manager Ge was in a great hurry.

"Another ten orders have come in. What are we going to do? We really can't handle this."

"Didn't we already inform you that we would no longer accept any orders? Just make sure to deliver the existing orders on time and with good quality?" Huang Jiacai was puzzled as to why they were still accepting orders.

Manager Ge wiped his sweat as he said, "Mr. Huang, the other party said they would transfer the full amount first, and as for the delivery, it doesn't matter when it's shipped. They'll just let their orders queue up according to the normal procedure. You know, they transferred the payment first and then called us to tell us. We were caught off guard."

Huang Jiacai thought for a while and said, "How about this, let's have a meeting and discuss it. It's not good to not accept orders. We can accept all orders, but of course, they must be paid in full. Then we can schedule production according to the orders. If that doesn't work, we can expand the factory and increase production capacity. Let's have a meeting and discuss whether we can expand production capacity and how to do so."

"We just wanted to discuss this with you. Salespeople from other companies are traveling all over the world every day, just to sell a few more surgical robots. We haven't sent out a single salesperson yet, and we're getting orders like crazy. If we stop accepting orders, we're afraid it will discourage customers who like our products." Manager Ge has been in sales for so long, and he has never seen anything like this before. The product hasn't even been launched yet, and the sales haven't even started, but orders are pouring in like snowflakes.

At first, everyone thought it was some kind of scam, but after further investigation, they realized that it wasn't a scam at all; it was a scheme to steal orders.

Many of our clients are world-renowned hospitals, such as Mayo Clinic, New York Special Hospital, Johns Hopkins Hospital, Charité Hospital, University of Tokyo Hospital, and many more, as well as numerous private hospitals—too many to count.

Huang Jiacai understood perfectly well that all these people selling Ruixing surgical robots were after Professor Yang. Of course, Ruixing's surgical robots were indeed top-notch, but without Professor Yang's remote surgery between China and Africa a few days ago, there wouldn't be such a flood of orders now.

After the surgery was broadcast in the world media, the wealthy people had a sudden thought: This is great! In the future, they won't need to go to China or trouble Professor Yang to go abroad for surgery. They can use a remote surgical robot to perform the surgery, saving a lot of time.

If it's an emergency surgery, even if the plane is flying at full speed, it will still take a long time. This way, there's no waiting time at all, and surgery can be performed at any time, just like Professor Yang is in the same city as them.

Furthermore, the success of this surgery proved the feasibility of remote surgery, so these wealthy individuals immediately took action, hoping to establish a remote surgery center as soon as possible and purchase Ruixing surgical robots. They simply wanted to use the same brand and model as the surgical robots used by Sanbo Hospital, so that they could be paired and connected. Buying other models of surgical robots would be useless if they couldn't connect with Professor Yang.

"Quickly call a meeting to discuss how to expand production capacity next," Huang Jiacai said to Manager Ge.

Manager Ge responded immediately: "I'll gather everyone right away."

Professor Fang woke up the day after the surgery, and his vital signs remained stable. There were no sequelae in his brain function, and the surgery was very successful.

When he learned that Professor Yang from China had performed remote surgery on him using a surgical robot thousands of miles away, he couldn't help but marvel at the progress of medical technology. He was also deeply moved when he heard that the country had organized a medical team to come to Africa urgently to save him, used transport planes to urgently transport surgical equipment, called in satellites to ensure network communication, and Chinese company employees rushed to donate blood for him.

Behind him was the powerful motherland, a moment that Professor Fang had already visualized in his mind.

Song Ziming remained in Africa, waiting for Professor Fang to be transferred back to China so that he could use a medical plane to escort Professor Fang back to Sanbo Hospital for continued treatment.

About a week after the surgery, Professor Fang's condition had stabilized. Song Ziming reported the condition to Yang Ping, who, after careful evaluation, believed that he could be transferred back to China by medical aircraft. Therefore, the higher-ups immediately dispatched the most advanced medical aircraft to bring Professor Fang back to China, with Song Ziming and the accompanying doctors and nurses escorting him throughout the journey.

Seeing Professor Fang safe and sound in the institute's ward, Yang Ping breathed a sigh of relief. The mission was finally completed. Without the help of the remote surgical robot, this would have been very difficult.

Song Ziming's skills are trustworthy, but there is still a gap compared to my own skills. Although there are occasional slight delays in remote surgery, he has delivered his skills to Professor Fang to the best of his ability.

Sometimes, even a slight mistake in the procedure can compromise the outcome of brainstem surgery.

"This is Professor Yang," Song Ziming introduced, standing beside the bed.

Professor Fang immediately sat up on his own. He grasped Yang Ping's hand and was overwhelmed with excitement upon seeing the young professor, Nobel laureate, and rising star in China's medical field. This excitement stemmed from both the joy of seeing his savior and the thrill of witnessing a new generation of geniuses.

Every generation has its own mission. The younger generation is no less capable than we are, and will only become stronger.

"I'm sorry for causing everyone trouble." Professor Fang felt ashamed, as his injury had required the country to mobilize so many resources.

Yang Ping smiled and said, "Not at all, as long as Professor Fang is alright."

After the surgery, Professor Fang felt that his brain function was not affected at all, and he knew that the surgery had been very successful. As for the multiple fractures and some internal organ damage, the surgery had handled them well. Even if there were any sequelae, he didn't care. As long as he could continue to do scientific research, he would be content. Professor Fang had prepared for the worst. Even if he had to use a wheelchair and have a urinary catheter in the future, as long as he was mentally alert, he would not care.

However, Yang Ping told him that he would no longer need to use a wheelchair or have a urine bag inserted.

Although there was a tear in the bladder and ureter at the time, it has been repaired by surgery and will not affect the function of the urinary system in the future.

At the time, the comminuted fracture of the lumbar vertebra caused nerve contusion, but fortunately, the contusion was not in the spinal cord, but in the cauda equina. The cauda equina is much more tolerant of injury than the spinal cord.

If it went to the other extreme and damaged the conus medullaris, it could indeed cause urinary tract dysfunction. However, the contusion of the cauda equina is slowly recovering, and careful exploration during the operation revealed that the injured cauda equina was not severed, but only contused.

As for the multiple fractures throughout his body, once they have healed, he will have no problem walking and exercising.

Professor Fang held Yang Ping's hand, speechless for a long time. He didn't know what to say, and Yang Ping just held his hand as well.

After a long pause, he finally said, "Thank you."

"Rest well. You can get out of bed and move around with crutches in three days. The rehabilitation doctor will help you then." Yang Ping gave him great confidence.

At the research institute, microscopic operation, endoscopic and laparoscopic operation, and surgical robot operation are all basic skills. Every doctor, including recent graduates, must undergo standardized training and advance step by step.

Now that Ruixing's surgical robot has been successfully developed, it will be much more convenient for everyone to train in operating the surgical robot. Ruixing plans to bring in more than a dozen of them, open up a whole floor, and then line up these surgical robots in a row for everyone to train with. In the future, there will be no need to queue for training anymore.

Huang Jiacai sent three surgical robots to Africa, and after the surgeries were completed, he did not plan to bring the surgical robots back.

He donated them to a local hospital and then invested in building a remote surgery center there. In the future, if Chinese employees in Africa need top-notch medical technology assistance from China, they can undergo remote surgery as a last resort.

Huang Jiacai analyzed the trends in medical technology and concluded that surgical robots are definitely the future trend of medical technology, just like minimally invasive surgery in the past, and will soon become widespread.

Therefore, remote surgery has great potential in the future. Huang Jiacai must seize this rare opportunity to capture the global market and establish Ruixing's firm position in this field.

The emergence of the Ruixing surgical robot completely stunned several other brands.

They simply couldn't understand why a surgical robot that hadn't even been approved in Europe and America could receive so many orders, especially since these buyers were willing to accept them even if all the orders were for research and experimental equipment. The manufacturers had also investigated and found that these buyers weren't ordinary hospitals, but top hospitals from all over the world. Were these hospitals crazy?

Later, these companies conducted in-depth investigations and learned that it turned out that Professor Yang Ping from China had used Ruixing's surgical robot to demonstrate a remote surgery that was performed thousands of miles away. The surgery was an emergency, a brainstem surgery, which made it representative.

If this kind of surgery can be done, then other surgeries are no problem at all.

This shows that Professor Yang alone has driven the brand promotion of the entire Ruixing Surgical Robot. If you can't beat them, join them. These surgical robot manufacturers are now doing everything they can to get close to Sanbo Hospital, hoping to send their branded robots to Sanbo Hospital for Professor Yang to use. If Professor Yang can use their surgical robots, it will not only be the greatest honor for them, but also extremely beneficial to the spread of their brand in the world.

However, Yang Ping has no interest in other brands of surgical robots now; he only likes to use Ruixing's surgical robots.

It's very simple. He was involved in the development of the Ruixing surgical robot, from design, improvement, trial production and mass production, he participated in the whole process.

It can be said that this surgical robot was tailor-made for him. Many aspects were designed based on his suggestions. It is simply his dream surgical robot, and it will definitely be easy for him to use.

Not only are Ruixing's surgical robots selling like hotcakes, but Sanbo Hospital is also receiving a large number of calls, all inquiring about donations. They want to donate to Sanbo Hospital to build a super remote surgery center, and some are even willing to invest in launching satellites to create a network for super remote surgery.

Dean Xia was at a loss for what to do, because these people came from all over the world, and some of them were negotiating with Sanbo Hospital through foreign-funded enterprises in Nandu Province, hoping to donate money to establish a super remote surgery center. Moreover, how to establish the super surgery center and what kind of surgical robot to use were entirely up to Sanbo Hospital, and they would not interfere in any way.

Is a super remote surgery center really that important? Dean Xia really didn't expect that Yang Ping's one remote surgery would bring so many side effects.

Soon, higher-level leaders also saw the bright future of remote surgery and hoped to establish a super remote surgery center. This would allow the use of cutting-edge surgical robot technology to bring high-quality medical resources to rural areas, especially to provide remote support for medical care in remote regions.

We hope to establish a demonstration zone at Sanbo Hospital, and gradually build a telemedicine network across the country, so that people in remote areas can enjoy high-quality medical services from big cities through remote consultations and remote surgeries.

Previously, superiors never offered suggestions, but this time they made a suggestion regarding remote surgery. Dean Xia pondered it for a long time and concluded that it was indeed a suggestion. It seems that superiors have a more far-sighted view of issues than he does, seeing the future and the overall picture.

If a remote surgery center could be established at Sanbo Hospital now, for example, by establishing a network connection with Guandu Hospital in Nanqiao County, and installing a surgical robot at Guandu Hospital, then Dr. Li Min at Guandu Hospital could request Sanbo Hospital to perform remote surgery using the surgical robot when encountering high-risk patients who are difficult to transport.

When conditions are right, this kind of remote center can be promoted nationwide, connecting hospitals across the country so that any two hospitals can be connected to form a network.

This is the beginning of a great project; Dean Xia seems to have seen the application of optical radiography in future remote surgeries.

Now that we have neither a lack of money nor technology, and we also have support from above, why not establish a super remote surgery center? Dean Xia decided to convene the hospital committee to discuss this matter.
