The Godfather of Surgery

Yang Ping followed Professor Zhang and Director Han to the Magic City. This was Yang Ping's first visit to the Magic City.

I have stayed in G City before and haven't been to many places.

Flying knife Guo Jingyao went to Malaysia during the operation, which was the first time Yang Ping had traveled far away.

Professor Zhang is a native of Modu. When Director Han joined Sanbo, Professor Zhang resolutely ended the re-employment of Mo Liu, and brought his wife 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 Modu, while the younger son studies pharmacy and works in Europe.

The two sons were beaten to death for not being a doctor, and Professor Zhang has always been brooding about this.

The eldest son was very busy, the grandson drove to the airport to pick up the plane, and was very happy to see his grandfather returning to the magic capital.

Professor Zhang is very particular, saying that when Yang Ping came to the magic capital for the first time, he must invite Yang Ping to dinner, in order to do his best as a landlord.

So I made a reservation at the old hotel of Modu and ate authentic Modu dishes.

After eating, Professor Zhang insisted on finding a five-star hotel closest to the Magic Six.

Director Han tried to persuade Professor Zhang several times to pay for it himself. Professor Zhang said with anger, You are all from the South now, come to this magical capital, what's wrong with letting me entertain you, not to mention Xiao Yang's first time here.

Director Han couldn't resist Professor Zhang's seriousness and could only obey him.

The next day, Professor Zhang took Yang Ping to Mo Liu to attend Professor Feng's consultation meeting, and asked Director Han to rest in the hotel.

This is Prof. Feng's final consultation meeting. Several American experts invited by Hong Zhigang, Prof. John Nathan of Neurosurgery from Mayo Clinic, Prof. Griffin from Anderson Cancer Center, Prof. Woodhead from Twin Cities Spine Center, and the Dream Team gathered again at Magic Six , make a last-ditch effort.

Woodhead and Hong Zhigang had a deep personal relationship. With Woodhead's help, they invited Johanneson and Griffin.

These three professors are very serious about Professor Feng's condition. Except for personal reasons, this case is very rare. It is a forbidden area for neurosurgery and spine surgery.

Professor Zhang took Yang Ping into the venue, and everyone didn't care, but regarded Yang Ping as Professor Zhang's assistant.

Hong Zhigang didn't know Yang Ping, but just casually looked at it. There was a special temperament in this young man, and Hong Zhigang couldn't tell, it should be calm and confident——

According to his seniority, Professor Zhang was Hong Zhigang's uncle, so Hong Zhigang didn't dare to neglect him at all. With the relationship between Professor Zhang and Professor Feng, they were no different from relatives.

Dean Chen of Magic Six and Director Peng of the Medical Department also respected this senior, personally guided him to his seat, and after a few greetings, he sat back to his seat.

In the previous consultation meeting, whether it was the consultation in the Magic Six Hospital or the first international consultation, Professor Zhang did not participate. This time, he offered to participate, and everyone was not surprised.

Looking at the familiar conference room, fifteen years later, Professor Zhang participated in the Grand Consultation in the Magic City again.

Everyone is here, everyone is around the rectangular conference table, the consultation can start, and Director Peng from the medical department presides.

Compared to the last meeting, the three American professors were noticeably less active, and this time they did not bring much new input.

After Johanneson returned to the United States, for this rare case, he organized a small academic salon, attended by the best neurosurgeons in North America.

No matter how it is discussed, the final opinion tends to be unanimous. The success rate of surgery is less than 1%, and there is no surgical value.

Bringing all advanced technologies together: Professor Feng was transported to the United States for treatment, Griffin used Henry Ford Hospital's EDGE to perform preoperative radiation therapy on the tumor to shrink the tumor to a certain extent, and then went to the Mayo Clinic, Professor Johanneson is the chief surgeon, Woodhead is the assistant, and Professor Garland of the Johns Hopkins ICU is responsible for the rescue of the accident during the operation. 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 the theoretical value.

Professor Johanneson has never been so frustrated: After I went back, I invited my North American counterparts to have an in-depth discussion together. Unfortunately, so far, this kind of surgery is still a restricted area for us, and no breakthrough has been made in the basic research on the center of life. Progress, this kind of surgery is doomed to fail. Similar surgeries that are much simpler than this are also full of risks for us. There are rare successful cases, and they also leave severe disabilities, Hong! I respect your feelings for teachers, but medicine is a Rationally, you have to acknowledge its boundaries, and unfortunately, Revered Master's condition is outside the technical boundaries.

Professor Johanneson shook his head after speaking, Griffin's sparse curly hair fluttered, and he sorted out his thoughts: Henry Ford Hospital, I have already contacted, if you want, they will welcome Mr. Feng at any time, and there may be unexpected effects.

Griffin didn't bother to talk about the difficulty of the operation, the little hope and the like.

His words were just a consolation to his friends, in Chinese - do your best.

The operation cannot avoid damage to the circulatory and respiratory centers, which is the most deadly. I used virtual reality technology with Johanneson to perform a surgical simulation. Unfortunately, we have tried many times, but there is no chance of breaking through the reports.

Woodhead has been to China twice, and has not been of much help, feeling that he is quite incompetent at this time.

However, as a doctor, I often encounter this kind of paleness.

Director Hong, it seems that everyone agrees, what do you think? Director Peng of the Medical Department, as the host, asked Hong Zhigang to make the decision.

Hong Zhigang also knew that the results of this consultation meeting would not be any different from the last time. This kind of discussion made me feel a little better.

Elder Zhang, look, what are your different opinions? Hong Zhigang looked at Professor Zhang.

Since Professor Zhang was present, out of respect, he wanted to seek Professor Zhang's opinion. Regardless of seniority or seniority, Hong Zhigang would be respectful.

Professor Zhang looked around the four seats: What if the success rate of the operation can reach 80%?

A word shocked the four, and everyone who was dead cheered up. I don't know what he meant by suddenly saying 80%?

Elder Zhang, I don't quite understand? Hong Zhigang asked awkwardly.

Not only did he not understand, but everyone 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 said it clearly enough.

You mean Mr. Feng's surgery? The surgery we're discussing now? Johanneson asked.

Professor Zhang's English is good, so he nodded: That's right!

Everyone was in an uproar. In a serious consultation meeting, it was inappropriate to make such absurd jokes. No one thought this old gentleman was very humorous.

Johanneson couldn't help but laughed out loud: I'm sorry, I'm a little rude, if there was an 80% success rate, we wouldn't gather together and frown, Mr. Feng should also be in the ward at this time, smiling. I look forward to accepting your post-operative blessings.

Others, including Hong Zhigang, Dean Chen, and Director Peng, all felt that these words were pointless. The well-respected old Zhang said something stupid at this time, but he couldn't dissuade him. Maybe he was old and his brain was a little hard to use. .

This question that makes everyone laugh, let's put it aside for the time being, sorry! I'll take you a little time, and I'll show you something.

Professor Zhang beckoned, and the officer of the Magic Six Medical Department immediately ran over.

Show this USB flash drive to everyone! Professor Zhang handed the prepared USB flash drive to the secretary.

The officer hurried to the computer, plugged in the USB flash drive, and opened the video inside.

This video shows Lu Gang's complete diagnosis and treatment process, including admission, surgery, and postoperative recovery.

Hong Zhigang recognized it immediately. Isn't this the surgical case of the Yang Ping Golden Knife Award Competition in Sanbo Hospital? Twist ball folded.

My God!

Woodhead, a spine surgeon, covered his mouth and stood up immediately. He walked to the end of the rectangular conference table and stood by to watch the video.

Woodhead, with his arms crossed over his chest, had never seen such a strange spinal deformity, along with bilateral hip and knee deformities, his entire body folded and coiled like a twist ball.

Immediately afterwards, Lu Gang's CT 3D 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 to take up the entire large screen.

Mr. Woodhead, how should this operation be done? 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 heart: This kind of operation is too difficult, it's a problem that the devil has given us, you see, the cervical spine on the base of the skull is severely deformed, and this spine is folded more than 100 times. Eighty degrees, there is a spiral deformity at the same time, the hip? The hip is gone, and the knee is stiff.

If you want to challenge the surgery, it needs to be divided into four times. The first is to perform bilateral femoral neck osteotomy, the second is to correct cervical deformity, the third is to correct thoracolumbar deformity, and the fourth is to perform artificial hip and knee replacement. It is too difficult. , Visually, my hands are already shaking.

What about the surgery 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 time, and the entire operation will take 16 to 20 hours in total. It is estimated that four operations will take place. It will take six months to complete.”

If I tell you that someone does not need staged surgery, it only takes four hours to complete the surgery, the blood loss is 140 milliliters, the correction reaches the physiological curvature of the spine, and there are no neurological symptoms after surgery? Professor Zhang only 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 of Sanbo.

No--no--no sir, you know, I'm a spine surgeon, it's my area of ​​expertise, and no one knows this kind of surgery better than I do, and I think you're insulting me by saying that. Professional, your words are too crazy today, I don't accept this kind of boring humor, and I tell you very seriously, the kind of doctor you mentioned does not exist on earth temporarily.

I also agree with your statement, continue to play the video! Professor Zhang said with a smile.

On the high-definition screen in the conference room, the video continued to play.

It was impossible to watch the four-hour video all the time. Just after watching the correction of cervical deformity, Woodhead opened his eyes wide in surprise and kept staring at the screen.

Pause.

Professor Zhang stood up and walked to the front of the screen: This video is four hours long. I believe that Professor Hong and all orthopedic doctors have seen it, and all orthopedic doctors in China have seen it. Don't doubt that the video has technical processing. This operation It has been broadcast live across the country, and there is no problem with the video that has been tested. I think Mr. Woodhead is eager to watch the four-hour video, but time does not allow, you can watch the final result.

The CT 3D reconstruction after Lu Gang's operation appeared on the screen.

Woodhead looked up and took a deep breath: Perfect orthopedics, I can't do it! Four hours to complete such a perfect operation, I can't think of anyone who can do it.

So, please believe me. There is someone who can achieve an 80% success rate in Professor Feng's surgery. This person is the main surgeon of the video surgery. I was invited to the scene today, Xiao Yang! Professor Zhang asked Yang immediately. Stand up.

Yang Ping stood up and bowed to everyone present.
