Chapter 133: Successful Surgery
Yang Xianmao said: "Your design sounds very fine, but I will only know if I am satisfied with it when I try it." ”
The old craftsman said, "Okay, we have tested it many times, and we think that the light for the lighting is enough." I don't know if I meet Childe's requirements. ”
That night, after dark, Yang Xianmao asked the maid to light up the reflective lamp and hang it on the beam, so that a maid lay on a table, revealing her little belly. Then let the maid adjust the reflector of each lamp, and the light shines on the maid's little belly, and the hairs on the belly can be clearly seen. The cute little navel was obediently displayed in front of Yang Xianmao and the maids, and everyone covered their mouths and giggled. The lying maid was shy and embarrassed, and it wasn't until Yang Xianmao was very satisfied with letting her down that she was too shy to hide behind people.
With this set of lighting devices, Yang Xianmao was sure that even if he operated on someone late at night, he didn't have to be as pitiful as he was holding a torch when he operated on Feng Qiuyu last time.
After Yang Xianmao had inspected all the surgical instruments and equipment, he asked Xiong Feng to send someone to his father's pharmacy in Xuanzhou along with the leather tube, and brought back a letter from his father.
After reading the letter, Yang Xianmao learned that his father had returned to Xuanzhou City a month ago. Han Xue'e did not tell Yang Mingde that Yang Xianmao was captured by the bandits, but only said that he was invited to operate on someone on the way and went to treat the disease, and he couldn't come back for a while, so Yang Mingde was not very worried. After a large number of surgical instruments and leather tubes were delivered, he knew that this was the instrument needed for the child's laparotomy surgery, so he kept it for safekeeping.
After receiving the letter from his father, Yang Xianmao was even more relieved, and wrote a reply letter, asking Xiong Feng to send someone to send it, telling his father that he was treating others, and he could go back when he was cured, so that they didn't have to worry.
Everything you need is ready, only the crystal fish tendon is missing.
However, the crystal fish tendon silk that has been waiting for a long time has not been delivered. It's really hard to catch, and you don't know when you'll be able to catch it.
So, the rest of the time, Yang Xianmao did two things. One is to dissect and practice surgical skills on a steady stream of corpses, and the other is to read precious medical books every night.
In the past few months, Yang Xianmao has been giving Xiong Feng and the remaining patients who failed to suck out the plum blossom needles a disinfectant muscle-building soup to be antibacterial and anti-inflammatory, preventing them from causing necrosis of the entire eye after an eye infection. In that case, even the gods can't restore their sight.
This prescription is the secret transmission of the divine doctor Hua Tuo, and it is really effective, the inflammation of Xiong Feng and those patients' eyes has been effectively controlled, and he can be left with time to wait for the crystal fish tendon silk to be delivered.
After another month or so, the weather has gradually warmed up, and it is summer. The rain gradually increased, and the mountains were always dripping.
The official army besieged the cottage for several months, and from time to time launched strong attacks, but they were never able to conquer it. The corpse of Xiong Feng who died in battle was sent to Yang Xianmao for his dissection and practice various surgeries. His surgical skills have improved dramatically, and they are no longer the same as they were before he went up the mountain.
On this day, Xiong Feng came to Yang Xianmao's yard with a big box in his hand. He smiled and said: "I caught, I finally caught! According to your requirements, the gold wire has been pulled out and dried, and it is full of a large box, both thick and thin, which is enough for you to use." ”
Yang Xianmao was pleasantly surprised, opened the brocade box and took a look, sure enough, as recorded in Hua Tuo's "Green Capsule Sutra", this kind of sun-dried tendon silk is colorless and transparent, simple as crystal, and the silk thread pulled by the spider is general, crystal clear, and the size of the crystal fish is different, so the thickness of the tendon is different, which gives Yang Xianmao a variety of choices, because different surgical objects, surgical sites, and surgical sutures are different.
Yang Xianmao said to Xiong Feng: "From now on, I will treat those blind patients. ”
Yang Xianmao first asked the guards to send a young and sturdy man to receive the operation. This is because young, able-bodied men are more tolerant of surgery and are more able to perform surgery more calmly.
Yang Xianmao first gave him a disinfectant muscle-building soup, which is antibacterial and anti-inflammatory, to prevent surgical infection. Then he was given hemp boiling powder, and after entering the anesthetic state, Yang Xianmao began to operate.
He first cleaned the eye with the special ophthalmic extraction venom, then used the eyelid hook to open the large palpebral fissure, cut the bulbar conjunctiva with surgical scissors to expose the muscular membrane of the eyeball, and then cut the muscular sac of the eyeball, and sutured the fixed thread to pull the eyeball to move it upwards and fully expose the surgical field.
He observed the entrance of the plum blossom needle in detail, roughly estimated the location of the plum blossom needle, and then made a scleral incision with a thread-like knife. The thin tip of the knife pierces into the center of the vitreous for detection. At the same time, I closed my eyes, calmed down, and felt the touch of the tip of the knife. Finally, he felt the tip of the knife touch the body of the plum blossom needle.
This feeling is very slight, if it weren't for Yang Xianmao's ingestion of thousand-year-old mountain ginseng, his internal strength has increased greatly, and the sensitivity of his hands has increased significantly, three months ago, he would not have felt this very slight touch at all.
He determined the specific position and shape of the plum blossom needle in the eyeball in his mind, and then gently pulled the tip of the knife back, replaced it with a small iris tweezer, carefully poked through the incision, reached the position of the plum blossom needle, clamped the plum blossom needle, and carefully pulled it back.
The pins are as soft as fluff and can be bent in the eyeball. So after clamping the middle of the plum blossom needle, it is completely possible to pull it out from the small incision.
Pulling out the plum blossom needle, Yang Xianmao breathed a sigh of relief, immediately readjusted the incision, and used the finest sterilized crystal fish tendon filament as a suture to continuously suture the bulbar conjunctiva.
This kind of suturing is very delicate, Yang Xianmao after taking the thousand-year-old ginseng, the eyesight has increased greatly, especially the stability of the hand has been very strong, and after a lot of repeated practice on countless corpses, the suture is very successful.
After the surgery, the eye area should be bandaged moderately. Then send the patient to the wing room to rest, wait for the awakening, and tell the maids and daughters who are responsible for taking care of the patient to pay attention to not letting the patient open the bandage without permission and secretly use his eyes to prevent the wound from cracking.
Then Yang Xianmao operated on the other patients one by one. Only three surgeries were performed on this day, because it was the first time he had done such a delicate operation on a living person, he was cautious, and the surgical instruments had been used up and needed to be re-sterilized.
When the three patients were sent out of the operating table in turn, Xiong Feng, who was waiting outside, was surprised and anxious to stay in the ward, and after the patient woke up, he asked the patient how he felt?
Xiong Feng was very surprised, when Yang Xianmao handed him the three plum blossom needles he had taken out, he was even more amazed, there are really people in the world who can cut open the eyeballs, take out the contents of the inside, and then re-stitch them up, such an operation is really amazing. But the key question is, what is the effect of the surgery? It will take a few days to wait for the wound to heal after the stitches have healed.
Yang Xianmao didn't care so much, and he continued to operate on the rest of the people the next day.
For a few days, eye surgery was performed on the remaining dozen or so patients who could not absorb the plum blossom needles with magnets, and all the plum blossom needles were removed.
After the surgery, all that's left is to wait.
Finally, wait for the day when you can open the bandage on the first patient to have surgery.
Yang Xianmao chose to remove the bandage after it was dark at night, and there was only one lantern in the room, because the patient's eyes have been in the dark for a long time, once the vision is restored, the light is too strong, and it will directly damage the eyes, and the light at night is dim, and it can gradually adapt.
Xiong Feng was very excited and very uneasy, he didn't know if Yang Xianmao's method would work, and whether he could make this patient's eyes shine again.
Xiong Feng stood nervously and watched Yang Xianmao slowly remove the eye bandage of the first young man who had eye surgery, and the patient's eyes were closed tightly and he did not dare to open them.
Yang Xianmao was also nervous, not knowing if the operation would be successful, he said to the patient: "You first slowly turn your eyes to see if there are any obstacles?"
The young man rolled his eyes, slowly turned back and forth, left and right, up and down a few times, and said happily, "I didn't feel any pain, just a little jerky." ”
"That's because I sutured your eyeballs, maybe the sutures haven't fully fused into your eyeballs, and when they are fully integrated and absorbed in the future, you won't feel jerky anymore. You can now slowly open your eyes and try it. ”
The young man agreed, and slowly opened his eyes tentatively. Although the room was dimly lit and there was only a lantern, the young man still felt the strong stimulation of the light, and immediately closed his eyes again, trying to cover his eyes with his hands, Yang Xianmao quickly blocked it and let him try to open it slowly.
After several repeated temptations, the young man finally opened his eyes slowly, his vision was a little blurry, and he blinked, which turned out to be tear-soaked eyes. After blinking again, he clearly saw Yang Xianmao standing in front of him, and Xiong Feng, who was looking at him nervously.
The young man was so excited that he stammered a little: "I...... I see it...... I see you...... Oh my God, I thought I was ...... You'll be blind for the rest of your life...... I'm ...... now I can see it again, woo woo woo ......"
When I got to the back, I cried excitedly.
Yang Xianmao finally let out a long sigh of relief and turned his head to look at Xiong Feng.
Xiong Feng was surprised and delighted, rolled the one-eyed, and looked at Yang Xianmao with a bright light: "Yang Gongzi, who else in the world can surpass your medical skills? You can cure him if his eye is blinded, and he can regain his sight, I have never heard of such medical skills, and I don't even dare to dream of it, it seems that the old man is right to recognize you, and the old man's eyes are finally hopeful." ”
Yang Xianmao smiled and said: "This is also thanks to your help, if it weren't for you asking skilled craftsmen to create exquisite ophthalmic special surgical instruments for me, and sending people to catch the crystal eye fish with great effort, extract tendon silk for sutures, especially give me the priceless thousand-year-old mountain ginseng to take, improve my eyesight and hand stability, it is almost impossible to complete such a high-precision operation." Therefore, if you can regain your sight in your hands and eyes in the future, it is largely because you have saved yourself. ”
