The Surgical Technology International will host a live academic lecture titled "Simplifying Anastomosis in Open Aortic Surgery: An Innovation from Zero to One, Forged in the Heat of Battle" on Bilibili and the WeChat Channels platform at 20:00 on October 22, 2026 (GMT+08:00).

In open aortic surgery, vascular anastomosis remains a technically demanding procedure, requiring considerable surgical expertise and precision. Overcoming technical challenges in clinical practice is essential to improving surgical techniques and achieving better clinical outcomes. Innovation in surgery often begins with identifying practical difficulties encountered in the operating room and developing original solutions through continuous exploration and scientific validation.

This lecture will focus on the development of an innovative anastomotic technique for open aortic surgery, drawing on the speaker's firsthand clinical experience. Beginning with technical challenges encountered in surgical practice, the lecture will present the process of identifying problems, exploring potential solutions, and developing an original approach to simplify anastomosis. It will further discuss the scientific validation of the proposed technique, including clinical results and their analysis.

The lecture will cover four main aspects:

1. Identification of Technical Challenges: Recognizing key technical difficulties in open aortic surgery and identifying areas for improvement in conventional anastomotic techniques.
2. Exploration of Potential Solutions: Developing innovative approaches to address these challenges and simplify the anastomotic procedure.
3. Scientific Validation: Evaluating the proposed technique through systematic scientific investigation and validation.
4. Clinical Outcomes and Analysis: Presenting clinical results, analyzing their implications, and discussing the potential value of the innovation in surgical practice.

We are honored to have Dr. Jian Zhou, MD, PhD, Chief of Cardiothoracic Surgery, Chief Physician, and Associate Professor at Shanghai Tenth People's Hospital, Tongji University, as the speaker. We sincerely welcome scholars and researchers to join this academic livestream lecture.
