自1983年加拿大多伦多总医院肺移植中心成功完成第1例肺移植以来,经过40年的临床实践,肺移植已经成为一项成熟的技术,每年全球肺移植总量在4000余例,能够完成50例以上的肺移植中心全球只有13个。2001年和2004年,陈静瑜医生当年还是一位主治医生的时候,先后两次赴加拿大多伦多总医院进修学习肺移植。2002年,陈静瑜医生回到无锡,并在无锡市人民医院组建了肺移植团队,2002年9月28日陈医生完成了团队第一例肺移植手术,自此,中国的肺移植技术才开始发展起来。2020年2月29日,陈静瑜团队在无锡成功开展全球首例新冠肺炎患者双肺移植手术,为此震惊世界,为世界提供了中国经验。2020年他所在的无锡市人民医院肺移植中心以156例肺移植的数量,超过了加拿大多伦多总医院完成的143例,跃居成为当年世界肺移植数量最多的中心。从2002年至2021年4月,陈静瑜团队在20年内累计完成肺移植手术1100余例,年手术量位居亚洲第一、全球第三。这是中国二线城市一个普通医生成长为优秀医生最终成为顶级医生的传奇人生。
Since the first successful lung transplantation was completed in Toronto General Hospital in Canada in 1983, lung transplantation has become a mature technique after 40 years of clinical practice. The total number of lung transplants in the world is more than 4000 each year. There are only 13 lung transplantation centers in the world that can complete more than 50 cases annually. In 2001 and 2004, Dr. Chen Jingyu went to Toronto General Hospital to further study lung transplantation technique twice. In 2002, Dr. Chen went back to Wuxi, and set up a lung transplantation team at Wuxi People's Hospital. He and his team completed their first lung transplantation on Sept 28, 2002. This marks the real start of the development of lung transplantation in China. On Feb 29, 2020, Dr. Chen and his team successfully completed the world's first double lung transplantation for patient with COVID-19 in Wuxi, sharing the international colleagues with Chinese experience. In 2020, the Lung Transplantation Center of Wuxi People's Hospital led by him, exceeded the 143 cases completed by Toronto General Hospital with 156 lung transplantation, becoming the center with the largest number of lung transplantation in the world that year. From 2002 to April 2021. Dr. Chen and his team completed more than 1100 lung transplantation operations in 20 years, ranking the first in Asia and the third in the world in terms of annual surgical caseload. This is the legend of how an ordinary surgeon from a second-tier hospital grows into an excellent surgeon and eventually becomes a world-class top surgeon.
