godfather of surgery

Chapter 413 Pets
The International Space Station, the vast space outside the window, the background of the earth is magnificent and magnificent.

"Susan, I can go back, can't I?" The only one Steven could ask for help was Susan.

As for these robotic arms and the doctors far away on Earth, he has no confidence at all.

These doctors have never seen him, nor have they had face-to-face communication with him. Steven has no confidence in relying on a few cold mechanical arms to save his life.

The loneliness and oppression brought about by being far away from the earth and the closed space magnified Steven's inner fear and despair infinitely.

Even though Steven has undergone strict psychological anti-stress training, anyone can collapse in the face of death.

"Yes, God has not abandoned you. We have invited Dr. Yang Ping, a genius surgeon. He will definitely save you."

"He is the teacher of Johannesson, a professor of neurosurgery at Mayo. He has successfully completed a more difficult operation than yours. Now that dozens of satellites are supporting our communication, Dr. Yang will definitely complete your operation smoothly." Susan's constant encouragement reassured Steven's fears.

"He's a messenger from God, believe me, Steven, and I'll tell you a secret. When I was a doctor, I never had a patient walk away from me. I was in the emergency department once, and a patient had cardiac arrest. The rescue has been given up, but I believe that she did not die. A few hours later, she actually came back to life. It was later thought to be Lazarus syndrome. She came back from the dead. There are only 53 cases reported in the world. You know how lucky I am Is it? You are lucky to meet me." Susan said in a mysterious tone.

"is this real?"

"Of course it's true. Look, how relaxed I am now. I know your operation will be successful, so don't worry at all."

"You only need local anesthesia later, and Dr. Yang will use a robotic arm to insert a tiny coil into your brain blood vessel, which will embolize the aneurysm and form a blood clot, so that the aneurysm will no longer receive the impact of blood flow." , naturally there is no possibility of bursting, and you are safe and sound."

"So simple?"

"In the hands of Dr. Yang, it was as simple as that. He had already left the United States by plane. We took great pains to get his plane back from the North Pole. You said how lucky you are. At that time, people were worried that Dr. Yang could not be invited. , but I know that I can definitely invite you."

Under Susan's intentional or unintentional psychological counseling, Steven gained a little confidence, his inner fear and anxiety were slightly relieved, and he was able to calm down and cooperate with the operation.

Steven's clothes were taken off, and the plate restraint device was checked again, especially the fixation of the head, which could not be sloppy.

The skin preparation (shaving) of the perineum was omitted, and Susan covered the entire perineal and anal area with a medical protective film, and then began to disinfect with sterile gloves.Up to the navel, down to the thighs on both sides, and the entire perineum is also within the scope of disinfection.

Steven's wife and daughter were waiting by the window sill at home. They couldn't do anything except pray.

They alternately use astronomical telescopes to capture the space station flying overhead.

"I see, I see!" Linke screamed.

Steven's wife leaned over. In the clear night sky, the silhouette of the International Space Station clearly appeared in the telescope.

On that distant spacecraft, the husband will undergo a life-saving operation.

从1971年第一艘飞船被送上天，到现在，国际空间站已经是一个宽109米、长73米、高20米、重达419吨、内部容积916立方米的超级巨无霸，相当于一栋七层楼高的小型体育馆。

Not only Steven's wife and daughter, but many astronomy enthusiasts are capturing the International Space Station at this time. They know that an astronaut on it is going to undergo surgery today.

The attention of the entire United States was drawn to the International Space Station, and the topic was being discussed hotly on the Internet, newspapers and television.

After the viscous sterile drape was covered, Susan stood aside, wearing a special disposable surgical gown and gloves. She was only responsible for the replacement of the terminal instruments of the robotic arm.

Interventional surgery, in simple terms, uses vascular access to puncture from a certain part of the blood vessel, and uses a catheter guide wire to enter along the vascular duct to deliver therapeutic drugs and instruments to a certain part of the blood vessel.

The entire vascular system of the human body is like the road transportation system on the surface. Intervention is to start from a certain station and deliver therapeutic drugs and equipment to the destination along a predetermined route.

It has become one of the three major medical treatment methods alongside internal medicine and surgery. Like any treatment method, it is not omnipotent and has its own limitations. Its operation uses the vascular system. Once the disease cannot be treated, the vascular system cannot be used. If the system is used to complete the treatment, the intervention will not be effective.

The puncture of the right femoral artery was completed, the puncture was performed, the needle core was pulled out, and the guide wire was inserted.

The instrument is on the mechanical arm, just like it is in Yang Ping's own hands, without any lag or unfamiliarity.

Femoral artery, external iliac artery, aorta, brachiocephalic trunk, subclavian artery, vertebral artery, basilar artery, guide wire all the way.

Every time a bifurcation point is encountered, the guide wire slows down, and then accurately crosses the bifurcation at one time and enters the next target blood vessel.

The robotic arm is the extension of Yang Ping's hand, which is the real integration of man and machine.

Every movement can be accurately performed by the mechanical arm without compromise. No one except Yang Ping can do this kind of proficiency. This is because he dared to use the remote surgery system to complete such a difficult and high-risk interventional surgery. where the confidence lies.

As long as there is no communication failure, too much delay or interruption, he can complete the operation smoothly.

The guide wire continued to move forward, and the blood vessels became thinner and thinner. The tip of the guide wire seemed to be able to accept Yang Ping's mind control, and moved forward deftly. It can puncture a blood vessel and cause death.

After the guide wire enters the brain, it explores the complex and tortuous blood vessels. The angiography is distributed in a network. Each area is a complex world. Every super-selection must not be mistaken, especially when entering the brainstem area.

The blood vessels are getting thinner and thinner, and the space for the guide wire to move is getting smaller and smaller.

This is why Massimo believes that the operation cannot be completed with the existing equipment. He suggested that new equipment be sent up, but time is running out.

In the lobby of the control center, the experts of the medical team were staring at the screen. The guide wire was carefully moving forward in the blood vessel, faster than expected. The most terrible thing was that he was able to cope with the occasional slight stuttering.

Every time it freezes, it will stop immediately and keep it in the center of the blood vessel, which is the safest way. After the freeze, the guide wire will continue to move forward.

"How about weather monitoring?" Jim Basa asked Richard.

Rain, especially heavy rain, can seriously affect the transmission of satellite radio signals.

"Everything is fine, don't worry, if there is a harbinger of rain, they will use artificial rain removal technology. It's just that our communication always receives some kind of unknown attack, and Symantec says it can handle it." Richard is in charge All physical technical guarantees.

"It's amazing how his guide wire can be so flexible and precise."

This is a remote surgery with a robotic arm. Before that, Yang Ping was not familiar with this remote surgery equipment.

Massimo's face was red, and he muttered to himself in amazement.

"Yeah, that's great! Incredible!"

Johannesson has emerged from the "safe house" and sits next to Massimo.

If these devices were not on the list drawn up by Johannesson, he would definitely think that the guide wire is a robot made of nanotechnology, and the tip can navigate itself under the blessing of artificial intelligence.

"I am going to enter the anonymous arterial network and check the equipment. This process will take at least 30 minutes, and there should be no interference during the whole process."

If matching instruments were used, Yang Ping could operate faster, but the size of this set of instruments is too large and it is very reluctant. If it enters the final target blood vessel, it may just be accommodated by the blood vessel, and there is no room for error.

"The space station moves!"

Richard shouted, and almost at the same time, Yang Ping manipulated the robotic arm to control the guide wire to change its state as it moved, so as to eliminate the risks brought by the movement.

The guidewire actively followed the sudden change of direction and retreated from the inside, successfully exiting the guidewire without damage.

"He can micromanage the guide wire as he likes." Massimo saw the operation in theory.

Johannesson told Massimo: "Dr. Yang was originally an orthopedic surgeon, and his field of expertise was surgery. Intervention was only his amateur field."

Killed by his amateur skills!

Massimo, the genius who intervened, felt inexplicably ashamed and couldn't accept the fact.

However, in Yang Ping's hands, the guide wire seems to have a soul, just like Yang Ping's pet, which is at his command.

"Any instrument is Dr. Yang's pet. Once it is in his hands, it is simply—I don't know how to describe it, Massimo, you haven't seen his last operation, the chordoma of the upper cervical spine and medulla oblongata, it's amazing. , I saw with my own eyes that the impossible surgery was forcibly done successfully, which is exciting."

The range of movement is getting bigger and bigger, but the guide wire returns to the same way ahead of time, crosses numerous bifurcations, withdraws the blood vessel, and avoids accidents.

Waiting for the next opportunity is the best way and the only way.

The operation was aborted, and Susan pressed to stop the bleeding.

"Find the reason, quickly!" Richard saw the video sent back from the external camera, which showed that someone had turned on the thrusters of the space station.

According to the direction of movement, Richard immediately judged that there was something wrong with the Japanese cabin.

"Pig!" Richard yelled.

"Check the Japanese cabin, what are they doing?" Richard roared.
