Yang Ping followed Professor Zhang and Director Han to the Magic City. This was Yang Ping’s first time in the Magic City.
I stayed in G city before and didn’t go to many places.
During Flying Knife Guo Jingyao's surgery, he went to Malaysia. It was Yang Ping's first time traveling far away.
Professor Zhang is a native of Modu. When Director Han joined Sanbo, Professor Zhang got the news and resolutely ended his re-employment from Moliu. He took his wife and went south to Sanbo to help Director Han develop Sanbo Orthopedics.
Professor Zhang has two sons. The eldest son studies finance and is currently engaged in politics in Shanghai. The younger son studies pharmacy and works in Europe.
Professor Zhang has always been worried about his two sons who refused to become doctors.
The eldest son was very busy, and the grandson drove to the airport to pick him up. He was extremely happy to see his grandfather back in Shanghai.
Professor Zhang was very particular and said that Yang Ping must invite Yang Ping to dinner for the first time he comes to the Magic City, so as to do the best for the landlord.
So I made a reservation at the old hotel in Magic City and ate authentic Magic City food.
After dinner, Professor Zhang insisted on finding a five-star hotel closest to Magic Six to stay.
Director Han tried to dissuade Professor Zhang several times and asked him to pay for it himself. Professor Zhang said in an angry tone: "You are all from the south now. Why don't you come to this magic city and ask me to entertain you? It's not even the first time for Xiao Yang to come."<
/p>
Director Han couldn't resist Professor Zhang's seriousness and had no choice but to obey him.
The next day, Professor Zhang took Yang Ping to Moliu to attend Professor Feng's consultation meeting, leaving Director Han to rest in the hotel.
This is Professor Feng's last consultation meeting. Hong Zhigang invited several American experts, including Professor Johnson of the Department of Neurosurgery at the Mayo Clinic, Professor Griffin from the Anderson Cancer Center, and Professor Woodhead from the Twin Cities Spine Center. The dream team once again reunited with the Magic Six.
, make a last-ditch effort.
Woodhead and Hong Zhigang had a close personal relationship, and with Woodhead's help, they invited Johannesson and Griffin.
These three professors are very serious about Professor Feng's condition. Apart from personal relationships, this case is very rare and is a restricted area for neurosurgery and spine surgery. As top professionals, they have a strong interest in this type of restricted area surgery.
Professor Zhang brought Yang Ping into the venue, but everyone didn't pay attention and just regarded Yang Ping as Professor Zhang's assistant.
Hong Zhigang didn't know Yang Ping, but he just took a casual look and saw that this young man had a special temperament. Hong Zhigang couldn't put it in words, but he should be calm and confident---
According to seniority, Professor Zhang is Hong Zhigang's senior uncle, so Hong Zhigang does not dare to neglect him at all. The relationship between Professor Zhang and Professor Feng is no different from that of family members.
Dean Chen of Mo Liu and Director Peng of the Medical Department also had great respect for this senior. They personally guided him to his seat and exchanged a few words with him before sitting back down.
Professor Zhang did not participate in the previous consultation meetings, whether it was a consultation within the Magic Sixth Hospital or the first international consultation. No one was surprised when he volunteered to participate this time.
Looking at the familiar conference room, Professor Zhang felt quite emotional as he once again attended the Magic City Medical University Clinic fifteen years later. The person being consulted was still his junior brother.
Everyone is here, and everyone is gathered around the rectangular conference table. The consultation can begin, with Director Peng from the Medical Department presiding over it.
Compared with the last meeting, the three American professors were obviously less active, and they did not bring many new opinions this time.
After Johanathan returned to the United States, he organized a small academic salon for this rare case, and the participants in the salon were all the best neurosurgeons in North America.
No matter how we discuss it, the final opinion tends to be the same. The success rate of surgery is less than 1%, and there is no surgical value.
Putting all the advanced technologies together: Professor Feng was transported to the United States for treatment, and Griffin used EDGE at Henry Ford Hospital to perform preoperative radiation therapy on the tumor to allow the tumor to shrink to a certain extent, and then went to the Mayo Clinic.
Professor Johannesson is the surgeon, Woodhead is the assistant, and Professor Garland from the Johns Hopkins ICU is responsible for the rescue of intraoperative accidents. The surgical team needs to coordinate training three months in advance.
Even so, the success rate of the operation can only be increased to 5%, which is still a theoretical value.
Professor Johannesson has never been so frustrated: "After I went back, I invited colleagues from North America to have in-depth discussions together. Unfortunately, so far, this kind of surgery is still a restricted area for us, and no breakthrough has been achieved in basic research on the life center.
Progress, this kind of surgery is doomed to fail. Similar surgeries that are much simpler than this are also full of risks for us. The rare success stories also leave serious disabilities, Hong! I respect your feelings for the teacher, but medicine is
Rationally, you have to admit its boundaries. Unfortunately, Master Zun's condition is outside the technical boundaries."
After Professor Johannesson finished speaking, he shook his head. Griffin's sparse curly hair fell away and he gathered his thoughts: "I have already contacted Henry Ford Hospital. If you are willing, they will welcome Mr. Feng at any time. There may be unexpected results."<
/p>
Griffin was too lazy to talk about the difficulty of the operation and the slim hope.
His words are just a comfort to his friends. In Chinese, he said - do your best.
"Surgery cannot avoid damaging the circulatory and respiratory centers, which is the most fatal. Johannessen and I used virtual reality technology to conduct surgical simulations. Unfortunately, we tried many times and there was no chance of a breakthrough." p>
Woodhead has been to China twice and has not been able to help much. He feels that he is quite incompetent at this time.
However, as a doctor, we often encounter such moments of weakness.
"Director Hong, it seems that everyone has the same opinion. What do you think?" Director Peng from the Medical Department acted as the host and asked Hong Zhigang to make the decision.
Hong Zhigang also knew that the outcome of this consultation meeting would not be any different from the last time. It would only make him feel better after discussing it like this.
"Mr. Zhang, look, do you have any different opinions?" Hong Zhigang looked at Professor Zhang.
Since Professor Zhang is present, out of respect, he wants to seek Professor Zhang's opinion. Regardless of seniority or seniority, Hong Zhigang will treat him respectfully.
Professor Zhang looked around the four seats: "What if the success rate of the operation can reach 80%?"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
His words shocked everyone, and everyone cheered up. They didn't know what he suddenly meant by eighty percent?
"Mr. Zhang, I didn't quite understand?" Hong Zhigang asked awkwardly.
Not only did he not understand, but everyone else did not understand.
"I said, if the success rate of this operation can reach 80%, do you agree with the operation?" Professor Zhang felt that he had made it clear enough.
"You mean Mr. Feng's surgery? The surgery we are discussing now?" Johannessen asked.
Professor Zhang’s English was pretty good and he nodded: “That’s right!”
Everyone was in an uproar. In a serious consultation meeting, it was inappropriate to make such a ridiculous joke. No one thought this old gentleman was very humorous.
Johannesson couldn't control himself and laughed out loud: "I'm sorry, I'm a little rude. If there was an 80% success rate, we wouldn't gather together with a sad face. Mr. Feng should also be in the ward with a smile at this time.
I look forward to accepting your post-operative blessings."
Others, including Hong Zhigang, Dean Chen and Director Peng, all felt that this was a bit nonsense. The highly respected Mr. Zhang said something stupid at this time, but it was difficult to dissuade him. Maybe he was old and his brain was a little hard to use.
.
"We will put this question aside for the time being. I'm sorry to waste your time. Let me show you something."
Professor Zhang waved, and the clerk from the Moliu Medical Office immediately ran over.
"Show this USB flash drive to everyone!" Professor Zhang handed the prepared USB flash drive to the clerk.
The clerk quickly ran to the computer, plugged in the USB flash drive, and opened the video inside.
This video is Lu Gang’s complete diagnosis and treatment process, including admission, surgery, and postoperative recovery.
Hong Zhigang recognized it immediately. Isn't this a surgical case from the Sanbo Hospital Yangping Golden Knife Competition? Twist ball folding.
"My God!"
Spine surgery expert Woodhead covered his mouth and stood up immediately. He walked to the end of the rectangular conference table and stood beside it to watch the video.
Woodhead crossed his hands on his chest. He had never seen such a strange spinal deformity, accompanied by bilateral hip and knee joint deformities, and the whole body was folded and coiled like a twist ball.
Immediately afterwards, Lu Gang's CT three-dimensional reconstruction appeared on the screen, and Professor Zhang commanded the officer: "Pause! Enlarge the picture to occupy the entire screen."
The picture is immediately enlarged and takes up the entire large screen.
"Mr. Woodhead, how should this kind of surgery be performed? How long does it take?" Professor Zhang asked Woodhead.
Woodhead took a few steps and got closer to the screen, planning the operation in his mind: "This kind of operation is too difficult. It is simply a problem posed by the devil. You see, the cervical spine at the base of the skull is severely deformed, and the spine is folded more than a hundred times."
Eighty degrees, there is also a spiral deformity, the hip joint? The hip joint is gone, and the knee joint is also in a stiff state."
"If you want to challenge the operation, it needs to be divided into four times. The first time is bilateral femoral neck osteotomy, the second time is to correct the cervical spine deformity, the third time is to correct the thoracolumbar spine deformity, and the fourth time is to perform artificial hip and knee replacement. It is too difficult.
, Visually, my hands are already shaking."
"What's the operation time?" Professor Zhang asked him.
Woodhead touched his chin: "The first operation is relatively simple and can be completed in one or two hours. The next three operations will take five to six hours each. The entire operation will take a total of sixteen to twenty hours. The four operations are estimated to be
It will take six months to complete."
"What if I tell you that someone does not need staged surgery, but only needs to complete the operation in four hours, with a blood loss of 140 milliliters, the correction reaches the physiological curvature of the spine, and no neurological symptoms after the operation?" Professor Zhang simply asked Woodhead,
Because he is a spine surgeon.
Hong Zhigang vaguely felt that the young man sitting next to Professor Zhang should be Yang Ping from Sanbo.
"No---no---no, sir, you have to know that I am a spine surgeon. This is my field of expertise. No one knows this surgery better than me. I think you are insulting me by saying this.
Professional, what you said today is too crazy. I don’t accept this boring humor. I tell you very seriously that the kind of doctor you mentioned does not exist on the earth for the time being."
"I also agree with you, keep playing the video!" Professor Zhang said with a smile.
The video continues to play on the high-definition screen in the conference room.
It was impossible to watch the four-hour video forever. Just after watching the section on cervical spine deformity correction, Woodhead opened his eyes wide in surprise and kept staring at the screen.
"Pause."
Professor Zhang stood up and walked to the screen: "This video is four hours long. I believe that Professor Hong and all the orthopedic surgeons have watched it. Orthopedic surgeons all over China have watched it. Don't doubt that there is technical manipulation in the video. This surgery
It was broadcast live across the country, and the video has been tested without any problems. I think Mr. Woodhead is eager to watch the four-hour video, but time does not allow it. You can see the final result."
Lu Gang's postoperative CT three-dimensional reconstruction appeared on the screen.
Woodhead raised his head and took a deep breath: "I can't do perfect orthopedics! I can't think of anyone who can complete such a perfect operation in four hours."
"So, please believe me, there is someone who can achieve an 80% success rate in Professor Feng's surgery. This person is the chief surgeon of the video surgery. I invited him to the scene today, Xiao Yang!" Professor Zhang immediately invited Yang.
