Hubei Daily (Reporter Yu Jinyi, Correspondent Zhang Quanlu) On September 26, an advanced fluorescent thoracoscopy was applied in Wuhan Pulmonary Hospital. In just one second, it can turn healthy lungs into a "green face", and the lesion is still red. With the "clear red and green", the doctor can clear the lung segment where the lesion is located in three minutes. The risks of surgery, surgical trauma, and surgical costs have all dropped significantly. Mr. Li, a patient who first benefited from this new device, was 32 years old. Previously, he worked in Egypt and accidentally got Aspergillus pneumonia, and both lungs suffered severe lesions. Half a month ago, Mr. Li returned to Wuhan Pulmonary Hospital for treatment.

Doctors basically cured most of the lesions in their lungs through various drugs. Only the upper left lung has a coin-sized hole that cannot heal because it is "chewed" by Aspergillus . The existence of the hollow will leave a huge hidden danger for the reinfection of Aspergillus in the future. The doctor decided to use surgical procedures to remove the posterior and anterior segments of the left upper lobe apex where the void is located.

The left lung is composed of two upper and lower lobes, which can be clearly distinguished by the naked eye. The left upper lung lobe is composed of 4 lung segments, and there is no obvious boundary between the lung segment and the lung segment from the surface. How to find the lung segment where this lesion is located? In the past, the traditional method adopted by doctors was not suitable for patients with low lung function due to the time-consuming time.

With the advent of fluorescent thoracoscopy, doctors first use CT positioning or three-dimensional reconstruction before surgery to clearly locate the arteries and bronchials in the lung segment where the lesions are located. During the operation, the doctor accurately cut off the artery in this lung segment. Afterwards, a non-toxic and harmless contrast agent is used to make the blood appear emerald green under fluorescent thoracoscopy. In just a few seconds, the lesions and non-lesions are emerald and pink, respectively. The two are clearly distinguished. The doctor easily removed the lung segment where the lesion is located in just 3 minutes.

Jiang Yuhui said that fluorescent thoracoscopy is a new technical equipment for thoracic surgery that has only emerged in recent years. In the province, only a few hospitals have carried out it. It makes the surgery more accurate, the trauma is smaller, and the cost is lower.
