导读:总部在硅谷Sunnyvale的直觉手术公司(Intuitive Surgical)是“达文西”机器人手术系统制造商。领导该研究的主管摩尔(Catherine Mohr),自称是“天生的修补匠”,从她高中到单车行打工、修理刹车零件开始,这位新西兰出生的外科医师兼发明家,逐渐将修补工作化为惊奇的高等艺术。



据台湾《经济日报》8月25日报道,“达文西”机器人手术系统的推手摩尔(Catherine Mohr)自称是“天生的修补匠”,从她高中到单车行打工、修理刹车零件开始,这位新西兰出生的外科医师兼发明家,逐渐将修补工作化为惊奇的高等艺术。

总部在硅谷Sunnyvale的直觉手术公司(Intuitive Surgical)是“达文西”机器人手术系统制造商,扛起研究主管重责的摩尔,以既有的先进机器人手术技术为基础,搭起医学与高科技的桥梁。

用机器手臂施行手术,已在医学界掀起波澜,法规问题与成本效益疑虑,也一度拖累去年直觉手术公司股价。不过,该公司近来推出新版“达文西”机器手臂,计划拓展至崭新的手术领域,近来股价已见起色。

摩尔认为机器人可以是外科医生的延伸,要提供更清楚的视角、精准性与灵敏度,则仍须仰赖专业医生的遥控操作。这种精细的机器系统可当做医师的代理手臂,依照医师的手部动作,完成精细的手术步骤。

摩尔持续探索提升手术成效的新技术,未来将研究使用特殊荧光染剂来标示人体组织,如淋巴结与血管等,借机器帮助医师突破肉眼看不到的地方。这类技术对于检视癌细胞的扩散程度帮助良多,有如在体内采用GPS卫星定位技术。随着硬件日益缩小,微创手术工具的侵入感也将日益减轻。

据报道,摩尔出身科学世家,父亲是生化学家,母亲是生物统计学家,父亲在她小时候到美国从事博士后研究,从此举家定居美国;但她从未想过踏进医学领域。

她特别喜欢在学校实验课上拆解物品,从她到单车行打工开始,就认为自己是天生的修补匠,她热爱单车,也对机械满怀热情。透过拆解获得的知识与能力让摩尔深深着迷,几乎每样东西都有一套模式。

摩尔原本主修化学,梦想当大学教授,但她发现自己是天生的修补匠,于是舍弃化学,改投入工程学怀抱。她大学时代多花在建造电动车上面,自己也会赛车,后来决定放弃博士学位,转而替传奇赛车手暨汽车设计师米伦(Rod Millen)打造电动车,担任项目经理。

科技职涯发展往往是先从普通工程师升至项目经理,再当上部门副总裁,从事管理工作。这个过程看似自然不过,但摩尔并不快乐。

摩尔有次观察朋友施行实验性手术,他们正在测试新装置,可惜失败,于是这群外科医生与科技高手反复讨论,希望找出原因,一派搬出科技术语,另一派则使用医术行话。

这个经验让她发现,自己对人体修护技术兴趣浓厚,但光是设计医疗装置无法使她感到满足,她也想参与手术工作,于是进入斯坦福医学院就读。

摩尔的丈夫2001年在直觉手术公司工作,当时该公司正在研发“达文西”机器手术系统,所以她目睹了部分研发过程,并建议一名外科医生试用“达文西”系统。后来该公司聘请她当顾问,她毕业后就从事技术提升与产品研发工作,从此投入手术机器人领域。

摩尔相信,人类应该不断尝试新事物,所以3年前开始学拉大提琴。她热爱烹饪,从基本食物到分子厨艺均有涉猎,甚至自制酸奶,还为家中花园打造废水再利用的灌溉系统。
