The first half of the operation went relatively smoothly.
The 5th cervical vertebra was completely useless and was replaced with a titanium alloy vertebral body. Chen Wei's mission was completed.
The second part was played by Deng Yiliu, who took up the job of pulling the hook seriously.
This job is not easy. Without considerable perceptual contact with neural tissue, and without decades of experience in understanding the fragility of nerves, it is really impossible to do the job of pulling a hook.
It must be pulled open to create a good field of view for the surgeon Liu Miqiao, but it must not break the nerve fibers or scatter the neurons. This force must be just right.
To do this, you must deal with nerve cells all your life, so that you can feel it and be sure not to damage the nerves.
In fact, no matter how powerful the surgeon is, even Zhu Yaguang or Deng Yiliu, they cannot guarantee that the spinal cord will not be damaged.
It can only be said that they suffered the least damage.
Liu Miqiao buried himself in the microscope and remained almost motionless. He maintained this action for two hours, like a sculpture.
Deng Yiliu had to admire him.
Ordinary people, keep this posture motionless for ten minutes, twenty minutes, thirty minutes at most. Who dares to try?
It’s harder than standing still.
Liu Muqiao remained motionless.
In fact, he is moving.
His fingers are making fine movements, he is sewing up the nerve bundles, and he also has to sew up the nerve sheath.
This kind of suture is very high-grade, very, very thin, less than one hundredth of a millimeter. It is an absorbable polymer compound, said to be made of corn starch.
This kind of suture sews nerves without special and long-term training, and it is easy to break.
It seemed that Liu Muqiao didn't move, but in fact he moved very quickly, but his finger movements were very thin and light.
Su Yajuan’s task is to clean up the surgical field.
She has a high level of understanding. After more than ten days of surgery, she has become Liu Miqiao's favorite second assistant. If he didn't want her to flourish in Chinese medicine, Liu Muchiao would really want her to be his second assistant.
Deng Yiliu looks like he is just pulling hooks, a very simple job, but in fact he is the most tired one.
Logically speaking, Liu Muqiao should be the most tired, but Liu Muqiao's physical strength and energy are extraordinary, so he is not tired.
The most tiring person is Deng Yiliu. He has maintained this posture for two hours. He is too strong and too weak. If he has to maintain this position all the time, Deng Yiliu will definitely have a psychological shadow in the future. It is estimated that he will see Liu Miqiao in the future.
You will feel bored, nauseous, and have palpitations.
"Well, do you want to take a rest?" Finally, two and a half hours later, Liu Muqiao asked.
"Rest? Okay, rest!" Deng Yiliu couldn't wait to answer.
"Okay, take a rest. The most difficult time will come later. You must hold on later, because the critical time is later."
Liu Muqiao had straightened up. The circulating nurse was very sensible and came over quickly to help Liu Muqiao pat his back.
"I want it too." Deng Yiliu became envious. He thought, I often perform surgeries here, why don't I get this treatment?
In fact, it's not that the nurses are biased, but it's the first time they've seen Liu Miqiao not move for two and a half hours. Everyone knows that if you stay in this posture for a long time, you will definitely suffer from back pain.
The circulating nurse was helping Liu Maqiao beat his back, and another nurse had to come over and help Deng Yiliu beat him. One was active and the other was passive. The feelings were completely different.
"Ahem." Su Yajuan coughed heavily.
Because, she discovered that when the roving nurse helped Liu Maqiao pat his back, the action was not official, let alone routine, but filled with deep emotion.
This is not allowed.
The traveling nurse soon realized that she was being watched, so she had to pretend to go about her routine.
Liu Muqiao realized the seriousness of the matter. In his impression, Su Yajuan was a very generous person and a lady. She paid great attention to her image. At least, she would hide and eat when she was jealous.
"Have a glass of milk."
Another nurse has already boiled the milk and is asking for advice.
"Okay."
The circulating nurse picked up a cup and fed it to Liu Miqiao.
There's nothing we can do about it.
Su Yajuan can't even do it for her.
Sterile operation limits her ability to grab cups.
Even she herself has to be fed by a nurse.
"Don't drink!"
She refused.
"Let's have a drink. It will take a few more hours and it will require physical strength." The nurse reminded.
"I'm losing weight." Su Yajuan said loudly.
"Does the surgeon still have time to lose weight?" Deng Yiliu said to Su Yajuan after finishing a drink, "The surgeon needs to strengthen his nutrition. He has no physical strength and cannot perform the operation."
Su Yajuan made a face at Deng Yiliu.
He is a nationally renowned professor, so you cannot answer him casually and impolitely.
Su Yajuan had to drink half a cup.
During surgery, try to drink as little water as possible. Some doctors do not drink water at all. Doctors like Deng Yiliu are the most experienced. He will accurately calculate the amount of water intake before surgery.
Brain surgery is generally time-consuming, and it is very troublesome to urinate during the operation.
However, he will pay attention to maintaining his physical strength during the operation, because a decrease in physical strength will affect surgical skills, especially in delicate operations such as neurosurgery. A slight deformation of movement may cause surgical errors.
Generally, for surgeries that last more than four hours, he will add a glass of milk midway. This is one of his tips for maintaining energy.
After drinking the milk, Liu Muqiao said: "It will take another three hours, and there will be no rest in between. Is that okay?"
Deng Yiliu asked: "What do you mean..."
Liu Muqiao said: "Once you go in, you don't want to quit midway. It's very troublesome. If you do it in one go, the efficiency and quality of the surgery will be higher."
Deng Yiliu groaned in pain and said, "I'll try my best."
He can only express his position like this. Next time, he will never share the same surgery stage with Liu Miqiao. The shadow area is too big.
The operation continues.
Liu Muqiao is like a sculpture, looking motionless.
Deng Yiliu had to admire him. Based on this alone, he knew that he would never be able to surpass him in his life. This was the first time he had seen such a doctor.
Liu Miqiao's ten fingers formed a clear contrast with other parts of his body. His ten fingers moved quickly. He sutured the nerves with very skillful movements.
At this time, it was dark outside the window.
After writing for a while at home, listening to music for a while, and taking a nap for half an hour, Tan Yishan suddenly remembered, "Has Liu Muqiao's surgery been completed?"
His students quickly inquired.
"I've been working on it for seven hours. It's not finished yet, but I heard it will be done soon."
"Oh, I want to see the real situation." Tan Yishan said.
"Okay, I'll arrange the video right away."
Soon, Tan Yishan saw what was happening in the operating room.
He watched for half an hour without taking his eyes off.
"Hey, he is indeed a genius! Have you noticed? Liu Miqiao has never moved. How can ordinary people stand it? And his fingers are very flexible and fast." Tan Yishan nodded in admiration.
"Oh, teacher, my senior brother Deng Yiliu is about to collapse."
