Chapter 1377: Won't It Hurt
"Any surgery is risky, however, objectively speaking, the risk of conscious craniotomy is not greater than that of craniotomy under general anesthesia, and the brain damage caused by general anesthesia can basically be avoided, in the 32 surgeries I have done, only two cases have temporary functional disabilities, and all of them recovered within three months, although it cannot be said to be 100% avoided, but it is already a very high percentage!" Dr. Statham replied.
Hearing this, Luo Xiaoqian and Leng Zimo's palms clenched each other's fingers more and more.
This news is undoubtedly great news for them.
Leng Zirui, Shen Yizhou, Ah Jiu and others were all in good spirits.
"Of course, the requirements for the patient are also relatively high, Mr. Leng's tumor is preliminarily predicted to be 32MM in size, according to the normal rules, we only perform this surgery on 30MM and the tumor, because this kind of surgery has very high requirements for the patient, the larger the tumor, the operation time will also increase, I estimate that it will be about two and a half hours, these two and a half hours, I require Mr. Leng to remain absolutely awake and the brain is in a very good state." Dr. Statham's gaze fell on Leng Zimo's face deeply, "Mr. Leng, do you have this confidence?" ”
"I can." Leng Zimo replied.
As long as his brain is not damaged, as long as he can continue to live as before, not two and a half hours, but twenty hours, he will definitely persevere.
"Surgery ...... sober," Luo Xiaoqian looked at Dr. Statham with some hesitation, "Will it hurt?!" ”
She doesn't understand medical things, but in common sense, surgery is carried out under anesthesia, and awake surgery, isn't it very painful?!
"No, it won't." Dr. Statham smiled comfortingly, "We will anesthetize the patient, cut the scalp and skull, and then control the effectiveness of the anesthesia, control the pain and stay awake, the patient will not feel pain, but Mr. Leng should be prepared, because I will use many tools to work in your brain, just like a decorator in a room to decorate, you will feel very noisy." ”
Dr. Statham used humor to explain the issues that everyone was concerned about.
"I'm totally okay with that."
Leng Zimo's tone was slightly ridiculous.
Listening to his voice, everyone smiled.
Dr. Statham's expression became serious, "If you accept my treatment plan, then we can start preparing now." ”
Leng Zimo and Luo Xiaoqian glanced at each other, and at the same time turned their faces to look at Dr. Statham.
"We agree!"
"Good!" Dr. Statham stood up, "We need a day of preparation, the day after tomorrow morning, the official surgery, from now on, Mr. Leng needs the most relaxing rest to ensure that you have enough energy to cope with the surgery." ”
Leng Zimo pursed his lips and stood up from the hospital bed, "Doctor, I still have the last question. ”
"Excuse me." Dr. Statham said.
Leng Zimo took a light breath, "Judging by your experience, is it benign or malignant?" ”
"Mr. Leng, experience doesn't decide everything, I also have patients with malignant tumors, at that time even I thought he would not live for five years at most, but he is still alive, and even handed me a postcard from Nepal two years ago, the brain is the most complex part of the human body, and I can't tell you any answer until I really cut open your skull."
