Chapter 992: Two Therapies......
While Bai Lidu was attacking the city and being invincible in the game, a conference room in the Army General Hospital, where he was located, was filled with people in white coats, and a meeting related to Bai Lidu was also being held......
"Leaders and experts, let me first introduce to you the patient's condition......
A middle-aged doctor in a white lab coat stood on one side of the conference room, and on the wall next to him, there were several X-rays, and these X-rays showed all images of a person's waist and spine, both frontal and sideways......
"The patient is 24 years old this year, male, due to the gunshot caused the first bone fragmentation of the lumbar spine, resulting in collateral damage to the first lumbar spinal cord, the residue in his body has been removed within 4 hours after the gunshot, and the repair, reduction and fixation of the patient's first lumbar vertebra have been completed within 8 hours, the operation is relatively successful, but after postoperative observation, the patient's lumbar spine has more serious edema, and its main symptoms are: weakened waist muscles; paralysis of lower limb muscles; The sphincter muscles of the bladder and rectum cannot be controlled autonomously; complete sensory impairment of the lower extremities; The cremaster, knee, Achilles, and plantar reflexes of the lower extremities are absent. ”
"Shhhh
As soon as the middle-aged doctor finished his introduction, there was a short inhalation sound in the conference room, mixed with the sound of buzzing discussions.
"Professor Wang, you are an expert in the field of spinal nerve trauma treatment, what is your opinion on this patient's condition?"
At the head of the conference table, an old man with a frown and a serious expression took the lead in speaking, and the entire conference room suddenly became quiet.
The person known as Professor Wang was a thin old man, and he pushed the glasses on his face and responded: "Dean Zhang, according to the symptoms of this patient, the injury of his first lumbar spinal cord should be very serious, and it is likely that the gray matter area of the spinal cord was damaged by the impact of bone fragmentation, and the first pair of lumbar nerves are also likely to be broken, and the edema that appeared after surgery further compressed his lumbar spinal nerves, so it caused his current lower limbs to be completely unconscious......"
Dean Zhang then asked, "Professor Wang, how should the best treatment plan be formulated for this situation?" ”
Professor Wang smiled bitterly before replying: "Dean Zhang, the spinal cord of the human body is fragile, and the lumbar spinal nerve is more sophisticated in addition to being fragile, so there is no best plan for trauma treatment in this field, and there is usually only radical treatment and conservative treatment......
"Radical vs. conservative? Please tell us more about Professor Wang......"
"Well, combined with the current situation of this patient, if you want to use an aggressive treatment plan, you need to perform surgery again, firstly, to immediately clear the edema in his spine and slow down his spinal cord pressure, secondly, with the help of professional nerve observation and repair equipment, to find the broken nerve break point and connect it, and thirdly, it is a long-term rehabilitation treatment after surgery, as for the damage to the gray matter area of the spinal cord, it can only be recovered by the patient through his rehabilitation treatment, but, There are still many problems with this radical treatment......"
"Oh? What's the problem? ”
Professor Wang then replied: "First of all, it is not a long time since the patient's last surgery, and another operation will inevitably cause secondary damage to his body, and the probability of his postoperative flare-up will also increase. Secondly, after another operation, edema in the spine may still reappear, and the nerves of the lumbar spinal cord will be compressed again. In addition, it is also the most troublesome point, that is, the existing nerve repair treatment instruments in China are all old models from 30 years ago, and the effect of the operation is difficult to guarantee......
"Professor Wang, does that mean that if the nerve connection fails, the patient will be paralyzed forever?" The middle-aged female doctor next to Dean Zhang asked.
"Yes! Therefore, if the same kind of patients want to undergo this kind of surgery, they have to bear a certain amount of surgical risk......"
"If it's because the equipment is old, then we can buy the latest model of neuroprosthetic therapy device! How much does this stuff cost? Where can I buy it? On the other side of the conference table, a middle-aged man with thick eyebrows and big eyes said loudly, through the white coat on his body, he could still see the green military uniform he was wearing, and on the conference table in front of him, there was also a military hat......
This person is Hong Yaoyang's immediate boss, Zhao Weidong, chief of staff of the Moon Theater of the Huaxia Territory Guard, and Hong Yaoyang, who is the captain of the Moon Shadow Brigade, is also sitting next to this person at this moment, his brows are tightly locked, and his expression is also very serious.
Professor Wang then replied: "As far as I know, the world's most advanced nerve repair treatment device is only available in the United States, not only has it been listed as a restricted export product, but also very expensive, even if the Chinese government can put pressure on the United States to let the Yankees sell us one, it will cost at least 30 million US dollars......
"What? Million! Return the dollars! Zhao Weidong was also taken aback.
There was once again a buzz of whispering in the conference room......
"This problem shouldn't be big, I'll implement this money!" After two seconds of amazement, Zhao Weidong immediately clapped his hand.
Dean Zhang said: "Weidong, if this kind of equipment goes through the normal customs clearance procedures, don't think about shipping it to our hospital for a month or two, plus equipment debugging and personnel training, I estimate that it will take at least half a year to operate on the patient, then at that time, the patient will have missed the best treatment period, and the probability of successful surgery will naturally be greatly affected......
"That's it...... Can the patient be transported to the U.S. for surgery there? Zhao Weidong asked again.
"This is reasonable, and some of the patients I have diagnosed in the past have better financial conditions, and some of them have ...... to go to the United States for this surgery."
Hong Yaoyang, who was beside Zhao Weidong, reminded in a low voice: "Leader, the last assassination of the great poet has not yet been seen, if he is arranged to go abroad for treatment now, in terms of security, there will be problems again, if that is the case, the situation will definitely not be able to be cleaned up......
"Hmmm! I see......" Zhao Weidong nodded, and then asked aloud: "Professor Wang, radical treatment is like this first, please talk about the conservative treatment plan......
"Okay! Conservative treatment, usually suitable for those who are younger, and the body function is better, combined with the basic information of the patient, it should also meet this condition, and conservative treatment and radical treatment, the most significant difference is to reduce the patient as much as possible open treatment, that is, the use of closed treatment methods, with the help of oral drugs and local drug injection, combined with rest and moderate rehabilitation treatment, to achieve the patient's body self-repair and recovery, so as to slowly recover, butIn fact, this therapy still has some limitations of its own......"
"Oh? What are the limitations? ”
Professor Wang picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip of tea before continuing to answer: "The process of conservative treatment is relatively slow and long, although the treatment methods seem to be relatively mild, but the treatment results are also highly unpredictable, that is, it is difficult to predict the later treatment results in the early stage, and when the later treatment results have been formed, if it is not ideal, it is irreversible, so if this kind of therapy is really adopted, it is equivalent to gambling ......on luck."
