In \u2019n hospitaalteater is \u2019n urologiese chirurg en sy mediese span besig om \u2019n hoogs sensitiewe operasie uit te voer op \u2019n pasi\u00ebnt wat aan prostaatkanker ly. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die teater is tjoepstil en net die uroloog is aan die woord terwyl hy \u2019n prostaatklier met behulp van \u2019n robot verwyder. Bo hul koppe word die prosedure op twee platskerms uitgebeeld. Die operasie is \u2019n langdurige prosedure; dit neem sowat drie ure om te voltooi, s\u00ea die dokter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
D\u00edt was die ervaring van verskeie joernaliste verlede Woensdag tydens \u2019n besoek aan die Tygerberg-hospitaal, waar die media \u2019n unieke kans gegun is om eerstehands te aanskou hoe dokters in \u2019n hospitaalteater te werk gaan. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Drie tersi\u00eare hospitale, insluitend die Tygerberg- en Groote Schuur-hospitaal, asook die Rooi Kruis-kinderhospitaal, het die oggend hul deure vir di\u00e9 doeleindes oopgemaak. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die doel daarvan was om chirurgiese uitnemendheid te vertoon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Joernaliste kon ook aanskou wat \u2019n tipiese dag in die lewe van \u2019n chirurg behels. Die chirurge het verduidelik watter soorte operasies by hul hospitale uitgevoer word, hoekom hulle oor hul beroep passievol is en ook vertel watter gevalle hulle die meeste bybly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
By Tygerberg het dr. Pieter Spies (41) , \u2019n urologiese chirurg, die media toegespreek. Spies en sy mediese span was die oggend besig om \u2019n radikale prostatektomie op \u2019n 60-jarige kankerlyer uit te voer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Joernaliste kon sien hoe Spies met behulp van die Da Vinci Xi-stelsel, \u2019n tegnologies gevorderde chirurgiese robot wat die dokter in staat stel om die operasie uit te voer, die pasi\u00ebnt opereer en sorgvuldig \u2019n prostaatklier verwyder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die robot vorm deel van die hospitaal se Da Vinci- chirurgiese robotprogram wat in Oktober verlede jaar daar bekend gestel is deur die Wes-Kaapse departement van gesondheid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOns doen so tussen 75 en \u2019n 100 sulke gevalle elke jaar. Met die robot doen ons sowat 45 \u2013 dis grotendeels weens \u2019n tekort aan hulpbronne.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOns probeer om die gevalle te bestuur. Ons kan nie almal met behulp van die robot opereer nie; dit is baie duur. So ons kies die gevalle sorgvuldig wat daarby baat sal vind,\u201d s\u00ea Spies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die gebruik van die robot in operasies, spesifiek in urologie, is sedert die laat 1990\u2019s in plek.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDie tegnologie is deesdae gevorderd. Hier in Suid-Afrika het ons die eerste masjien in 2013 in gebruik geneem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDit is al die afgelope 10 jaar in privaat hospitale in gebruik, en Tygerberg-hospitaal is die eerste openbaresektor-hospitaal wat toegang tot di\u00e9 stelsel het. Ek is trots om te s\u00ea dat ons waarskynlik die mees gevorderde stelsel in die land het,\u201d s\u00ea Spies, wat al 12 jaar lank operasies uitvoer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Daar is in November verlede jaar met die operasies begin, s\u00ea hy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Spies s\u00ea daar is nooit \u2019n vervelige dag in di\u00e9 bedryf nie. \u201cOns sien baie interessante gevalle.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Een van die hoogtepunte in sy loopbaan was die eerste suksesvolle penis-oorplanting wat by die Tygerberg-hospitaal uitgevoer is. \u201cDaai aand het ons omtrent 13 of 14 ure geopereer. Dit was ongelooflik om deel te kon wees van die ervaring. Dit was een van die mees interessante aande.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In die Covid-19-pandemie was die teaters egter stil.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOns hulpbronne is aan Covid-19-teatersale toegewy. Ons chirurge het in die Covid-eenhede uitgehelp. Dit was nogal frustrerend vir chirurge,\u201d s\u00ea Spies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dit het hulle egter kans gegee om oor hul metodes na te dink, hul vaardighede op te skerp en te studeer, iets waarvoor hulle bitter min tyd kry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hy s\u00ea die ding waarvan hy die meeste hou in sy beroep is die spanpoging wat daarmee gepaard gaan. Spies s\u00ea chirurgie is soos \u2019n sportspan wat bestaan uit teaterpersoneel en \u2019n chirurgiese span.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDie pasi\u00ebnte is die hoogtepunt van my dag. Daar is nooit \u2019n vervelige dag nie; jy word elke dag uitgedaag om probleme op te los wat waarskynlik \u2019n pasi\u00ebnt se lewe op \u2019n persoonlike vlak verwoes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDit is die uiteindelike bevrediging van my werk,\u201d s\u00ea hy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die mees uitdagende deel van sy beroep is tydbestuur, s\u00ea Spies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Om \u2019n veeleisende, lang ure- en stresvolle werk te balanseer met familie en die lewe daar buite is \u2019n uitdaging, s\u00ea Spies. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hy vang in sy vrye tyd vis, jag, kampeer en spandeer tyd saam met sy gesin en kinders by Somerset-Wes se Voortrekkers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die urologie-buitepasi\u00ebntdepartement by die hospitaal behandel sowat 210 pasi\u00ebnte per week van reg oor die provinsie. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Daar is \u2019n toegewyde urologie-saal met altesame 28 beddens, wat die meeste van die tyd gevul is. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
