Chapter 377 The Second Consultation

Yang Ping came to Shanghai with Professor Zhang and Director Han. This is Yang Ping's first visit to Shanghai.

I stayed in G city before, and I haven't been to many places.

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

Professor Zhang is a native of Modu. When Director Han joined Sanbo, Professor Zhang got the news and resolutely ended the re-employment of Magic Six. He also took his wife to the south to Sanbo to help Director Han develop Sanbo orthopedics.

Professor Zhang has two sons. The eldest son studies finance and is currently working in politics in Shanghai. The youngest son studies pharmacy and works in Europe.

The two sons were beaten to death and refused to be doctors. Professor Zhang has always been worried about this.

The eldest son was very busy, and the grandson drove to the airport to pick him up. He was very happy to see his grandfather return to Shanghai.

Professor Zhang was very particular, and said that Yang Ping came to Shanghai for the first time, so he must invite Yang Ping to dinner to do the best for the landlord.

So I made a reservation at the old restaurant in Shanghai, and ate authentic Shanghai cuisine.

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

Director Han tried to dissuade Professor Zhang several times and wanted to pay for it himself. Professor Zhang said angrily, "You are all from the south now. When you come to this magic city, what's the matter with asking me to entertain you? What's more, it's Xiao Yang's first time here."

Director Han couldn't resist Professor Zhang's earnestness, so he could only obey him.

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

This is the last consultation meeting of Professor Feng. Several American experts invited by Hong Zhigang, Professor Johannesson of Neurosurgery of Mayo Clinic, Professor Griffin of Anderson Cancer Center, Professor Woodhead of Shuangcheng Spine Center, the dream team gathered again in Magic Six , make a final effort.

Woodhead and Hong Zhigang have a deep personal relationship. With the help of Woodhead, Johannesson and Griffin were invited.

These three professors are very serious about Professor Feng's condition. Apart from personal reasons, this case is very rare, and it is a forbidden area for neurosurgery and spinal surgery.

Professor Zhang brought Yang Ping into the venue, everyone didn't care, they just regarded Yang Ping as Professor Zhang's assistant.

Hong Zhigang didn't know Yang Ping, so he just took a casual look. This young man had a special temperament, which Hong Zhigang couldn't describe. It should be calm and confident——
According to seniority, Professor Zhang is Hong Zhigang's uncle, so Hong Zhigang dare not neglect at all. The relationship between Professor Zhang and Professor Feng is no different from relatives.

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

Professor Zhang did not participate in the previous consultation meeting, whether it was the consultation in the Sixth Magic Hospital or the first international consultation. Everyone was not surprised to offer to participate this time.

Looking at the familiar meeting room, 15 years later, Professor Zhang participated in the magic city conference again, and the object of the consultation was still his own junior, and he was quite emotional.

When everyone is here, everyone gathers around the rectangular conference table. The consultation can begin, and Director Peng from the Medical Office will preside 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 Johannesson 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 you discuss it, the final opinion tends to be the same. The success rate of the operation is less than [-]%, and it has no surgical value.

Bringing together all the advanced technologies: transporting Professor Feng to the United States for treatment, Griffin used EDGE at Henry Ford Hospital to perform preoperative radiation therapy on the tumor to shrink the tumor to a certain extent, and then went to the Mayo Clinic, Professor Johannesson is the chief surgeon, Woodhead is the assistant, and Professor Garland from the Johns Hopkins ICU is responsible for emergency rescue during the operation. The surgical team needs to train three months in advance.

Even so, the success rate of the operation can only be increased to 5.00%, which is still a theoretical value.

Professor Johannesson has never been so depressed: "After I went back, I invited colleagues from North America to conduct an in-depth discussion. Unfortunately, so far, this kind of surgery is still a forbidden area for us, and no breakthrough has been made in the basic research on the center of life. Progress, this kind of operation is doomed to fail. For us, similar operations that are much simpler than this are full of risks. There are rare successful cases, and they are also left with serious disabilities, Hong! I respect your feelings for the teacher, but medicine is Rationally, you have to admit its boundaries, unfortunately, Zunshi’s illness is outside the technical boundaries.”

After Professor Johannesson finished speaking, he shook his head. Griffin's thin, curly hair was loose. He organized his thoughts: "Henry Ford Hospital, I have already contacted them. If you want, they welcome Mr. Feng at any time. Maybe there will be unexpected effects."

Griffin was too lazy to talk about the difficulty of the operation, the tiny hope and other nonsense.

What he said was just a comfort to his friend, in Chinese - to do everything.

"Surgery cannot avoid damage to the circulation and respiratory centers, which are the most fatal. Johannesson and I used virtual reality technology to perform surgical simulations. Unfortunately, we have tried many times, and there is no probability of a breakthrough report."

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

However, as a doctor, I often encounter such pale and weak times.

"Director Hong, it seems that everyone agrees. What do you think?" Director Peng from the medical department acted as the moderator and asked Hong Zhigang to make a decision.

Hong Zhigang also knew that the result of this consultation meeting would not be any different from the last one, and it was just to make him feel better after discussing it like this.

"Mr. Zhang, look, what's the difference?" 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 80.00%?"

Shocking everyone with one word, everyone cheered up when they died down, wondering what he meant by 80.00% all of a sudden?
"Mr. Zhang, I didn't quite understand?" Hong Zhigang asked in embarrassment.

Not only did he not understand, everyone did not understand.

"I said, if this operation has a success rate of 80.00%, do you agree with the operation?" Professor Zhang felt that he had made it clear enough.

"You mean Mr. Feng's operation? The operation we are discussing now?" Johannesson asked.

Professor Zhang's English is not bad, he nodded: "That's right!"

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

Johannesson couldn't help but laughed out loud: "I'm sorry, I was a little rude. If there was an 80.00% success rate, we wouldn't gather together with frowning faces. At this time, Mr. Feng should also be in the ward, accepting everyone with a smile. postoperative blessing."

Others, including Hong Zhigang, Dean Chen, and Director Peng felt that the words were out of their minds. The 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 out of order. .

"This question that made everyone laugh, let's put it aside for the time being, sorry! I wasted everyone's time, and I will show you something."

Professor Zhang beckoned, and the officer from the Magic Sixth Medical Office ran over immediately.

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

The secretary 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 a surgical case for the Yang Ping Golden Knife Award Competition in Sanbo Hospital?Twist balls are folded.

"My God!"

Woodhead, a spinal 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 folded his hands on his chest, never seeing such a strange spinal deformity, accompanied by bilateral hip and knee joint deformities, and the whole body folded and coiled like a twist ball.

Immediately afterwards, Lu Gang's CT [-]D reconstruction appeared on the screen. Professor Zhang commanded the staff: "Pause! Enlarge the picture to occupy the entire screen."

The picture is instantly enlarged to occupy the entire large screen.

"Mr. Woodhead, how should this operation be done? How long will it take?" Professor Zhang asked Woodhead.

Woodhead walked a few steps closer to the screen, planning the surgery in his mind: "This kind of surgery is too difficult, it is a problem given to us by the devil, you see, the cervical spine on the base of the skull is severely deformed, and the spine is folded more than 180 degrees , At the same time, there is a spiral deformity, the hip joint? The hip joint is gone, and the knee joint is also in a state of stiffness."

"If you want to challenge the operation, you need to divide it into four times. The first time is to perform bilateral femoral neck osteotomy, the second time is to correct the deformity of the cervical spine, the third time is to correct the deformity of the thoracolumbar spine, and the fourth time is to perform artificial hip and knee joint replacement. It is too difficult. , visually, my hands are shaking."

"What about 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 time. The total operation will take sixteen to twenty hours. It will take six months to complete."

"If I tell you that someone does not need staged surgery, and only needs to complete the operation every four hours, the blood loss is 140 ml, the correction reaches the physiological curvature of the spine, and there is no neurological symptom after the operation?" Professor Zhang only asked Woodhead, because he is 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 know, I'm a spinal surgeon, that's my field 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, what you said today is too crazy, I don’t accept this kind of boring humor, and tell you very seriously, the kind of doctor you mentioned does not exist on earth for the time being.”

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

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

It is impossible to watch the four-hour video forever. Just after watching the section on cervical deformity correction, Woodhead stared at the screen with his eyes wide open in surprise.

"Pause."

Professor Zhang stood up and walked to the screen: "This video lasts for four hours. I believe that Professor Hong and all orthopedic doctors have watched it. All orthopedic surgeons in China have seen it. Don't doubt that there is technical processing in the video. This operation 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 watch the final result."

Lu Gang's postoperative CT three-dimensional reconstruction appeared on the screen.

Woodhead raised his head and took a deep breath: "Perfect orthodontics, I can't do it! I can't think of anyone who can do such a perfect operation in four hours."

"So, please believe me. Someone can achieve 80.00% 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 asked Yang Ping to stand up.

Yang Ping stood up and bowed to everyone present.
