Guest Speaker
Speaker: Dr. Michael Sasevich
Introduced by: Club President Gary Frush
Introduction
Dr. Michael Sasevich is a high tech surgeon who also happens to be President Gary’s neighbor. He uses the latest technology in preforming transplant surgeries for heart and lungs. His personal interests are in rock and roll drumming, national parks, romance and chivalry.
Dr. Michael Sasevich
Dr. Sasevich explained how the technology today leads the way for complex surgeries for heart and lungs. In America, number the #1 disease is heart disease and most common cancer is lung cancer.
Dr. Sasevich is originally from Chicago. He has a beautiful wife and three young kids. He is a big fan of national parks and is thankful to those who protected them by starting the national park initiative.
He talked about technologies like XI Robot, Hybrid Maze, ECLS. The surgery on the human chest has started only 50 years ago. Technology is benefitting all of us and help these surgeries to be minimally invasive. The surgeons need to learn these new technologies as they come out. For the patients, these surgeries are less painful and heal quicker. XI Robot is used for lung surgery. ECLS – are life support machines used to keep the patient alive while performing surgery on heart and lungs.
Previously, the surgeons had to open the chest to perform surgeries on heart or lungs. But now with assistive surgery through robot, which has 4 arms, the surgery needs only small cuts on the side of the chest. One arm of the robot has the camera. Surgeries with Robots are better and safer. Robots takes out the possible error with the shake of human hand. Also, with the technology, the same number of surgeons have helped a greater number of patients than with the traditional surgeries.
A $50 contribution to Read to Me, Stockton was made in the speakers name as well as donating a signed book to Spanos Elementary AND some fine wine and glasses.
