In this regard, Xie Wanying said: "We analyze these to know the function of each part of the patient's brain, and to conduct pre- and post-operative research and judgment."
These words tell Mom Zeng not to think too much. Doctors have neither time nor interest to read your bad brain. Doctors have a lot of work to do, and it all revolves around the patient.
Zeng’s mother herself said that she was afraid that the patient would have a lot of sequelae after awakening from a vegetative state. Monitoring the patient’s brain function activity before surgery is conducive to making judgments after the operation. The surgery to awaken the vegetative state is only for stimulation, not to remove the tumor, and it will not be used.
The scalpel damages healthy brain tissue. Therefore, the sequelae after the vegetative person wakes up mainly come from the damage to the brain function that existed before the operation. These can be related to the examination before the operation.
After the examination results came out, the doctors believed that the patient's various brain functions were expected to remain relatively intact after he woke up. Simply put, the doctors predicted the patient's future post-operative limb function, language function, memory function, etc., etc.
There should be no major functional problems. In this way, it is of great significance to perform this operation on the patient, and the family members can partially relax and try to allow the patient to undergo the operation.
Zeng's mother did not expect such a result. She collapsed and sat in the chair unable to move.
Mother Wang's eyes were red and she glared at the in-laws: "When my daughter gets better, she can get a divorce. The child belongs to us."
"What you think is beautiful." Zeng's mother immediately objected and shouted.
"Let's go to court to see if it's your fault or your family's fault. The doctor has all the evidence here."
The doctors quickly prepared to perform surgery on the patient.
The experts in the capital are leaving tomorrow. Doctor Tang and the others have planned to operate on the patient at night while the experts are around to help.
This kind of brain electrical stimulation is similar to the previous epilepsy surgery and is not as dangerous as epilepsy surgery. Epilepsy surgery requires electric destruction of the lesions, which is basically unnecessary in this kind of surgery.
In terms of positioning, there are experts from the capital working together with a group of high-IQ groups to make the surgical positioning more precise. Generally speaking, stimulating the thalamus of vegetative patients is a routine surgical route. After today’s examination results, it will be found that there are several other important areas besides the thalamus.
Network nodes are stimulated. Electrical stimulation is to activate the neuronal cells that have been dormant due to some special reasons in certain parts of the brain's "circuit network" and reactivate them.
Neurosurgery always takes a long time, and the operation was completed in the early morning of the next day.
Zeng Wanning, who came to visit his sister-in-law after working the night shift, never believed that the operation could be successful. The success rate of vegetative surgery cases at home and abroad is very low. The specific reason is as discussed by classmate Xie and Dr. Charlie earlier. Patients in this era have a minimally conscious state.
It has not been accurately isolated from the vegetative state.
After arriving in the ward, Zeng Wanning found that his sister-in-law looked at people differently. His sister-in-law could call her mother Wang, mother, mother. These signs meant that the operation was successful. The worst part was that his mother was said to have boasted that Haikou was the best place to go.
The whole family performed handstands for others: This!
The doctors did not care about what happened next to the Zeng family. The doctors only wanted to cure the patients.
After examining this case, Xie Wanying reflected that the different activity levels in the brain areas may mean that the nature of the incident is different. If she wants to know where her "are you okay" comes from, she may hope that someone will do an fMRI on her next time she has an attack.
