As the name suggests, chordoma is a tumor that grows on the spine.
The human spine is the main beam of the house. Once there is a problem, it will be very fatal.
This kind of tumor will grow at the top of the spine and also at the bottom.
Those that grow on the top are called skull base chordomas, and those that grow on the bottom are called sacral chordomas.
To be more precise, one grows where the spine connects to the head, and the other grows on the tail bone.
When treating the above, you need to see a neurosurgery.
When treating the lower part, go to a spine or orthopedic surgeon.
Although chordoma is a benign tumor, it is easy to recur and sometimes grows suddenly. Therefore, many patients have undergone four or five surgeries without getting a radical cure and are suffering.
Zhao Yuan conducted pre-operative communication with his parents in advance.
The couple knew the risks and signed quickly.
Just because the two signed the contract happily, Zhao Yuan felt even more stressed.
After all, this is brain surgery, not child's play.
Before entering the operating room, Zhao Yuan sat on a chair and closed his eyes, meditating for a long time.
For many days, Zhao Yuan has been studying how to use chopstick surgery to treat skull base chordoma.
Although I have been able to achieve a 100% success rate during practice, I still feel a little nervous when it comes to actual execution.
After all, there are many differences between practice and actual combat. Although I can simulate various emergencies, in actual combat, accidents will still happen.
Zhao Yuan finished brushing his hands and walked into the operating room.
Jiang Jing and others are making preoperative preparations.
Zhao Yuan also gave them corresponding training, so they were all busy with their duties.
When Tang Jin walked into the observation room, he found that Zhao Yuan was already preparing to start the operation.
What surprised him was that Zhao Yuan adopted a sitting surgery plan.
The sitting surgery plan is a method favored by German surgeons.
In normal neurosurgery, the patient lies on the bed.
But, this surgery is different.
The operating table adjusted its angle and the patient sat up.
There are many benefits to keeping patients in a sitting position.
For example, when a surgeon cleans a tumor, he starts from the bottom of the tumor. Every time he removes a part, the tumor above will move downward due to gravity. The surgeon can ensure that the tumor is removed step by step at the nearest place.
However, this solution also has drawbacks, as it places very high demands on surgeons and anesthesiologists.
Surgeons must raise their arms for a long time to perform operations. This operation usually takes four or five hours. Holding the arms for a long time is a huge challenge to physical fitness.
The sitting surgery plan brings a lot of trouble to anesthesia. First of all, the incision is higher than the heart, and air can easily flow toward the heart through the open blood vessels. Once it is pumped out through the left atrium, it can easily lead to myocardial infarction and cerebral infarction; if it is in the right atrium,
Pulmonary embolism may occur.
Tang Jin and Zhao Yuan had not communicated about the surgery beforehand.
But when he saw the scene, he immediately judged that this was a very difficult and valuable operation.
In the eyes of experts, the details of a sitting posture are enough to determine the level of surgery.
Tang Jin's eyes were full of solemnity, he knew that this trip should be worth it.
There are more and more people sitting in the observation room.
Most of them are neurosurgery doctors, and there are also cardiothoracic and emergency doctors.
Shan Zhenyu stood beside Tang Jin, his mood similar to Tang Jin's.
Zhao Yuan studied the surgical plan with himself before the operation.
Shan Zhenyu was also full of expectations for the new technique proposed by Zhao Yuan.
Surgery comes to the point.
Zhao Yuan started to perform endoscopic approach.
Under his operation, the endoscope seemed to have eyes, entering through the patient's nose.
Tang Jin observed the operation of Zhao Yuan's hands. His posture was indeed very similar to holding chopsticks. He controlled the suction device dexterously and entered the patient's body along the entrance.
As time passed, the vision gradually became clearer, and Zhao Yuan quickly located the tumor.
The doctors in the observation room finally saw clearly how unique this operation was.
"It seems that I have never seen this kind of operation done by Dr. Zhao."
"It's a new technique! It's definitely a new technique. No wonder Tang Jin flew all the way from the beautiful country. He came here to see this new technique."
"Dr. Zhao's technique is very strange and yet very familiar."
"He seemed to be using chopsticks."
Chopstick technology was invented in another world by French supernatural expert Froilic. The idea came from the way Chinese people hold chopsticks.
The biggest advantage of this technique is that two hands can be used as three hands.
This function is similar to that of chopsticks, which can be used as a knife or a fork.
In foreign countries, doctors rarely have fixed assistants and they will change them every one or two years, so Froelich invented this surgery, which can allow two hands to realize the functions of three hands.
In this way, no matter how you change the assistant, it will not have any impact.
Tang Jin felt the magic of this technique, and his eyes were fixed on the attractor in Zhao Yuan's hand.
Although he couldn't see it very clearly, he was sure that the attractor was specially customized.
Tang Jin is an expert.
He quickly sensed the changes this new procedure would bring to neurosurgery.
Zhao Yuan is devoting himself wholeheartedly to the operation. Although the new surgical technique can speed up the efficiency and improve the accuracy, the operation is performed on the brain and it is not easy to accurately avoid nerves and blood vessels.
Zhao Yuan held his arms and remained steady.
One hour, two hours, three hours, four hours.
Time moves very slowly.
Zhao Yuan has always been in good condition.
Four and a half hours passed.
Zhao Yuan finally completed total chordoma resection.
The moment the operation was successful.
Tang Jin couldn't help but start clapping.
Following his lead, other doctors also began to applaud.
Shan Zhenyu felt excited. He knew the significance of the success of this operation.
Less than half a year after taking over the neurosurgery department, Zhao Yuan successfully solved the problem with a brand-new surgical method.
This technique is definitely world-class, as can be seen from Tang Jin's reaction.
Zhao Yuan walked out of the operating room, where the patient's parents were waiting for the results.
"Dr. Zhao, did the operation go well?"
Zhao Yuan was relieved, "You can rest assured and have a good sleep tonight. The operation was successful and the removal was very complete."
When the parents heard this, they smiled from the bottom of their hearts.
Zhao Yuan finished communicating with the patient's parents and met Tang Jin in the corridor.
As a neurosurgeon, Tang Jin has always been calm and restrained.
But at this moment, his face showed unspeakable excitement.
"Zhao, you did a great job with this surgery. I'm really surprised."
Zhao Yuan knew that he had completely conquered the little old man in front of him with his skills.
"Swordsman Te Tangjin, I would like to extend a sincere invitation. Are you willing to work with me to develop this technique? I believe that with your joining, this technique will become more mature and bring good news to more patients."
"It's my pleasure!"
Every pore in Tang Jin’s body expressed his willingness!
