Preface
On September 21, 2024, at the invitation of the Guizhou Provincial Health Exchange and Cooperation Center, the First Affiliated Hospital of Guizhou University of Chinese Medicine, and the Guizhou Provincial Anorectal Professional Medical Quality Control Center of Traditional Chinese Medicine, Dr. Cai Liangliang, a medical consultant in Wuhan Half the Sky and from the Anorectal Department of the First Affiliated Hospital of Guangxi University of Chinese Medicine, conducted an operation demonstration of the Wuhan Half the Sky Hemorrhoids Radiofrequency Ablation Knife System in the operating room of the First Affiliated Hospital of Guizhou University of Chinese Medicine.
The surgical venue was broadcast live and was open to the outside world for observation. Nearly a hundred representatives from Guizhou, Chongqing, and Guangxi watched and learned the entire process live, witnessing the clinical application of the Rekaxiu radiofrequency ablation system in anorectal surgery. After the operation, Dr. Cai Liangliang said, “This operation is a big step forward in hemorrhoid radiofrequency ablation technology.”
As an innovative result independently developed by Wuhan Half the Sky, this technology integrates advanced concepts such as minimally invasive intervention, radiofrequency ablation, and low-temperature coagulation. It provides hemorrhoid patients with a safer and more effective minimally invasive interventional treatment plan with its remarkable characteristics of small trauma, fast recovery, and low recurrence rate.
Years of silence: Radiofrequency ablation has been ignored in the field of hemorrhoids
As a mature technology with more than half a century of clinical application history, radiofrequency ablation is widely used in many fields such as the brain, heart, blood vessels, and tumors. There are more than 70,000 literature reports on this technology in the China National Knowledge Infrastructure. However, in the specific field of hemorrhoid treatment, radiofrequency ablation technology seems to have encountered invisible barriers. Since the 1990s, there has been little new progress and it has been dormant for more than 20 years.
Faced with this situation, Qiu Xuewen, general manager of Wuhan Half the Sky, decided to break the deadlock and introduce radiofrequency ablation technology into the field of anorectal surgery. As a medical enterprise that has been deeply involved in the minimally invasive field for more than 20 years, Wuhan Half the Sky has been exploring and innovating in the field of radiofrequency ablation based on the two principle technologies of ultrasound and radiofrequency. It has independently developed radiofrequency ablation surgical instruments covering multiple specialties such as dual-energy blades, window ablation blades, autocoagulation blades, sharp blades, Vegina, Ruifuno, and ablation needles.
General Manager Mr. Qiu Xuewen is keenly aware of the many drawbacks of traditional hemorrhoid surgical treatment methods, such as large trauma, slow recovery, high risk of complications, and poor postoperative quality of life. He firmly believes that radiofrequency ablation technology can be the key to changing this situation.
Exploring together: in-depth cooperation and innovative breakthroughs between industry, academia and research institutes
Coincidentally, at the 2020 Shanghai International Medical Equipment Exhibition, Dr. Cai Liangliang, from the Anorectal Department of the First Affiliated Hospital of Guangxi University of Chinese Medicine, witnessed the precise operation and efficient treatment of Half the Sky radiofrequency ablation needle under ultrasound guidance at the Half the Sky booth. This technology can easily perform minimally invasive treatment on small liver tumors. The entire process is short, simple, low-cost and minimally invasive. Dr. Cai quickly thought that this cutting-edge technology might bring a revolutionary breakthrough in the treatment of hemorrhoids.
His idea coincided with Qiu Xuewen, general manager of Wuhan Half the Sky, and the two parties formally reached an industry-university-research cooperation in the field of minimally invasive hemorrhoids treatment. Dr. Cai, as the medical consultant of Half the Sky, worked with the Half the Sky R&D team to explore the infinite possibilities of radiofrequency ablation technology in the field of hemorrhoids treatment.
Through in-depth research on the pathological mechanism and clinical manifestations of hemorrhoids, combined with the technical advantages of radiofrequency ablation technology, and after several years of unremitting efforts and painstaking research and development, Wuhan Half the Sky finally successfully launched the Lilacxiu multifunctional anorectal treatment platform in 2023, opening a new chapter for minimally invasive interventional treatment of anorectal diseases.
Accurate and efficient: Lilacxiu opens a new era in hemorrhoids treatment
As a minimally invasive radiofrequency ablation treatment device focusing on anorectal diseases, LigaShow multifunctional anorectal treatment platform is suitable for the treatment of various types of hemorrhoids such as internal hemorrhoids, external hemorrhoids and mixed hemorrhoids. This equipment perfectly integrates high-frequency surgical equipment and radiofrequency ablation technology to achieve a high degree of unity of the dual-module integrated system, which not only ensures the accuracy and safety of treatment, but also meets the needs of various surgical procedures, marking a major breakthrough in radiofrequency ablation technology in the field of hemorrhoids treatment.
Compared with traditional surgery, Lilacix hemorrhoid radiofrequency surgery has the advantages of minimally invasive pain, simple operation, rapid recovery, and fewer complications. The surgical treatment only takes a few minutes and can be completed in a day outpatient clinic, which greatly reduces the patient’s financial burden and psychological pressure.
Its radiofrequency ablation function can not only eradicate the root cause of hemorrhoids, but also preserve the normal function of the anus and other normal tissues to the greatest extent while solving the problem of hemorrhoids, effectively reducing the occurrence of postoperative scar hyperplasia, anal stenosis, anal incontinence and other complications, greatly improving the patient’s postoperative quality of life, and winning high praise from both doctors and patients.
Conclusion
Guizhou Provincial Anorectal Disease Hospital is an influential benchmark in the industry in southwest my country and is at the forefront in terms of technology and scale. The invitation to Wuhan Half the Sky to demonstrate the Lilacxiu hemorrhoid radiofrequency ablation system is not only a high recognition of the technology, but also a prospect for the broad application prospects of radiofrequency ablation technology in the field of hemorrhoid treatment.
In the near future, Lilacxiu hemorrhoid radiofrequency ablation technology also plans to conduct in-depth exchanges at high-profile academic conferences such as Chongqing and Shenzhen, and is expected to cooperate in applying for provincial key projects. Wuhan Half the Sky is willing to join hands with more hospitals to work closely in the field of minimally invasive anorectal interventional treatment to bring efficient, safe, minimally invasive treatment options to more hemorrhoid patients!
