Yu Shuilian's second-stage reconstruction surgery was very successful, and she quickly completed the third surgery, which was also the last surgery in the treatment plan.
This operation is very simple. The original cystostomy and colostomy are closed, and the plastic tubes left in the urethra and anus are pulled out.
The newly built highway can be opened to traffic, and urine and feces are no longer discharged through the fistula, and are instead discharged through the reconstructed urethra and anus.
But at the beginning, urination and defecation need to be trained to achieve satisfactory results.
Urinary training has begun on the reconstructed urethra. There is no stricture in the urethra. After testing, the urinary flow rate is very good.
The reconstructed anus also began to undergo biofeedback training to reshape defecation intention and sphincter contraction.
When the pectoralis minor muscle was used to replace the anal sphincter, a hole was not punched in the middle of the muscle. Instead, a small gap was made in the middle along the muscle fibers and then implanted at the end of the descending colon.
This small gap serves as the anal pore and has a stronger sealing ability than punching.
The anus must be able to seal liquids tightly to be successful. Otherwise, loose stools will flow out due to weak anus closure or loose sealing, seriously affecting the quality of life.
This method of opening slits from muscle fibers achieves liquid sealing, which is close to the sealing ability of the normal anus.
In this way, the ability to control urination and defecation close to normal is restored, allowing Yu Shui Lian to retain the body's excretory function.
Compared with the past, when urine and feces were discharged unconsciously from the fistula in the abdomen and relied on a plastic bag to collect urine and feces, Yu Shuilian's quality of life has improved dramatically.
Moreover, Yang Ping helped her reconstruct YD and reconstructed WY using plastic surgery techniques, preserving her dignity as a woman.
For the rest, if she can be given a power brace, she can really stand up and walk like a normal person.
Regarding power braces, everyone is actively contacting relevant companies. Although this kind of brace has not been widely used, many companies already have mature products.
The most advanced ones are brain-computer interface powered braces, followed by thoracoabdominal muscle electrophysiological signal interface braces, and relatively simple technology that uses upper limb swings to control brace walking.
American and Japanese companies are currently leading the way in this type of power braces. Boston Dynamics in the United States has developed relatively advanced power braces based on robotic technology.
Another company in the United States, Kangda Rehabilitation Company, relies on military powered exoskeleton technology to develop braces, which are the most mature in application.
Due to various reasons, the military use of powered exoskeletons has been blocked, so some companies have transferred the technology to civilian use and applied it to the field of medical rehabilitation, allowing patients who have lost their lower limbs or are paralyzed to gain the ability to walk with a pair of powered lower limbs.
In the civilian field, neither the use environment nor the requirements are as stringent as military use, and the technology is developing rapidly.
Japan's ART company's powered braces are also world-leading, surpassing American companies in some aspects.
American companies originally developed this technology for military use, so they put a lot of effort into the load-carrying speed, but the accuracy and efficiency of signal conversion seemed rough.
The original intention of Japanese ART research and development is to use it on patients, so it has a profound foundation in signal compilation and conversion, far surpassing American companies.
According to Yang Ping's plan, the next step is to install a powered brace on Yu Shuilian and let her walk out of the hospital.
Takahashi and ART Company have always been in contact. The company is eager to have typical cases for experimental applications and accumulate market influence in advance. With Takahashi's help, they are willing to cooperate with Sanbo Hospital to provide free powered braces.
If you want to equip a powered brace, it is not a simple matter. You need to study and compile Yu Shuilian's brain electrophysiological data.
In the system space, Yang Ping has read a large number of books and papers on brain electrophysiology and is already considered an expert in this field.
The cooperation with ART Company is a cooperation between medicine and science and engineering. Both parties have their own strengths. Yang Ping decided to lead everyone to conduct a thorough study of Yu Shuilian's brain electrophysiology to prepare engineers for compilation.
Everyone's brain electrophysiology is different. When a powered brace uses a brain-computer interface, it must compile the electroencephalogram signals in a personalized way.
After Yu Shuilian's entire treatment was completed, Yang Ping wanted Song Zimo to write a paper specifically discussing Yu Shuilian's case.
This will be a heavyweight paper, life-saving rescue surgery, second-stage reconstruction of the urethra and anus, application of powered braces, involving trauma surgery, repair and reconstructive surgery, plastic surgery, urology, general surgery, powered braces, brain machines
Interface, brain electrophysiology, neural signal conversion, etc., is a complex and classic case of multi-disciplinary integration.
Yang Ping went to find Song Zimo, but he didn't see him in the office. He guessed that he should be in the laboratory, so he went to the laboratory.
Everyone was still doing surgery with Xu Zhiliang and Gao Qiao, and Song Zimo was the only one in the laboratory.
He stood by the window. On the road below the window, Yu Shuilian's husband and son were pushing Yu Shuilian in a wheelchair. Yu Shuilian was talking and laughing with them.
Hearing the sound of footsteps, Song Zimo knew that it was Yang Ping who had come in. He wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes with his hands.
"If there were doctors like us at that time, could my mother be saved?" Song Zimo kept looking out the window.
Yang Ping stopped and did not answer. Song Zimo asked and answered: "I can definitely save her! Do you know? She was in my arms, slowly stopping breathing and heartbeat. In my arms, I watched her leave.
go--"
"There are no ifs in this world. Everything in the past will be forever, and life is like this. That's why we work hard to improve our medical skills in order to leave as few regrets as possible. You are an excellent surgeon. If your mother knew, she would be very pleased.
"Yang Ping doesn't want Song Zimo to stay in regret.
"Look at that little boy, how happy he is. Although his mother is only half a body, he still has his own mother after all, the only mother."
"Her voice and smile are still clearly engraved in my mind. She is beautiful, intelligent, gentle and virtuous. She always smiles at people. She always holds my hand when going to and from school. Every morning, she boils eggs in sugar water.
She fed me, took me to the school gate, watched me walk into the school, and said goodbye to me; every time she picked me up after school, she would ask me, Zimo, what did you learn today?"
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "You are right, the past is forever past, there are no ifs in this world, why do we work so hard, just to reduce the regrets in the world."
Song Zimo sobbed a few times, rubbed his eyes, and turned around.
"The first surgery of the Golden Knife Award is ready and will start tomorrow. Don't worry, I'll be fine."
"In the past, Director Han and Professor Hong were both highly valued students by Director Mo Liu, but Director Han was the most valued and was designated as the successor."
"In that year's Golden Sword Award, Director Han and Professor Hong entered the finals at the same time. When they were about to compete for the championship, Director Han suddenly gave up the competition. Shortly afterwards, Director Han resigned from Mo Liu and came to the south to develop."
"There has never been an exact explanation for the reason. There are various versions of rumors, but one thing is certain. If Director Han does not abandon the competition, the Golden Sword Award winner will definitely be Director Han. If Director Han does not leave the Magic Six,
Now the director of Orthopedics at Moliu is also Director Han."
"So this time, you must take back the Golden Sword Award. Maybe I am a little selfish. This is to fulfill Director Han's wish. Although he has never mentioned it, I think he must have regrets from back then. I will be the one to take charge of the regional competition.
, if you find that there is a tendency to fall behind in points, you come back to get it back, recharge your batteries, and prepare for the national competition."
"At the time of the Golden Knife Award, Director Han's assistant was Huang Zhong, who is now the director of Traumatology and Orthopedics at Annex One. After Director Han resigned, Huang Zhong also resigned. The two of them were invited by Professor Su to Annex One. It was the Third
Bo started planning to build the institute. Director Han wanted to join Sanbo, and Professor Su was the recommender. He, Dean Xia and Director Zhou became the three veterans of the establishment of Sanbo. Huang Zhong entered the attached one and followed Professor Su.
Development, and now he is the director of the Department of Traumatology and Orthopedics of the First Affiliated Hospital."
"Hong Zhigang's student, Wen Rentao, represents the strongest level of the younger generation in Shanghai. He is truly amazing, both academically and surgically. He is a perfect surgeon. He used to be my idol, but he is no longer."
"My idol is you now!"
"If I were to compete with Wen Rentao, I would be at a disadvantage due to my lack of surgical experience. After all, we have eight years of experience difference. We can perform many operations in these eight years, but if you compete with him, these problems should not exist. I
I have been with you for so long, and experience seems to be indispensable to you. It seems that you just want to do any surgery, as if you have done thousands of surgeries, and you are proficient in every surgery. Maybe this is a more
High talent.”
Yang Ping kept listening to Song Zimo's words. No matter for himself, for Director Han, or for the hospital, he had to win this award.
"You need to be familiar with the surgical rules of the Golden Knife Award and every point, because many of your surgical methods are different from traditional ones."
"In the South China Division, we strive to qualify as number one. Our strongest opponent is the First Division, but the most difficult one for you to face is also the First Division."
"So, I will be in charge of all the regional competitions for you, so you don't have to face Su Nanchen or the First Division. Although it is not a knockout, it will not be easy to face after all."
"Let Xu Zhiliang be my assistant. According to the competition system, he can be my first assistant as an unknown assistant."
Song Zimo talked a lot in one breath. Yang Ping just saw him crying secretly by the window and was worried about Song Zimo's mood. It seemed that he was worried for nothing.
Song Zimo's psychological quality is very good, but seeing the happy scene between Yu Shuilian and his son brought back memories of his childhood.
At that time, he was only five years old. Suffering such a blow would inevitably leave painful memories.
Yang Ping believes that since he overcame his stubborn haemorrhage, there is no obstacle that can stop him from becoming an excellent surgeon.
"Come on!" Song Zimo stretched out his hand.
Yang Ping's hand was tightly held with his.
"This award is insignificant to you. Your future lies in the sea of stars. Believe me, I will definitely be the best help."
