Chapter 163: The operation was a perfect success

May 4th Youth Day, today is a small holiday, but Chen Jin did not have a holiday, she had a crucial operation today.

Chen Jin borrowed the advanced equipment in the life science laboratory of Xinghuo Technology to conduct in-depth research and development of stem cell nerve repair technology in her graduation thesis.

After animal experiments, it has reached a 100% success rate, and the clinical trial officially began today.

Chen Jin prepared for the operation and walked out of the operating room to meet with the patient's family.

"Are you the mother of patient Xu Yang?" Chen Jin asked in a soft tone.

"I'm Xu Yang's mother, and his father's army has a mission, so there is no way to accompany us in the near future."

Xu Yang's mother said excitedly: "Dr. Chen, you must save my daughter, she is only 17 years old, she has been working in a wheelchair for 5 years, I don't want her to spend the rest of her life in a wheelchair."

Chen Jin nodded, and said in a clear tone: "Mother Xu Yang, how serious is your daughter's spinal myeloma, after this period of treatment, you are also mentally prepared.

We had to remove the cancerous spine and place an artificial bone made of titanium in her body.

The neurons inside the spinal cord are the most difficult to recover, and we have extracted Xu Yang's stem cells to produce spinal fluid, which is rich in neuronal cells, but whether it can play the role of spinal nerves normally, no one knows now.

Xu Yang is the first person to use this technology, and we can only ensure that the cancerous spine will be removed smoothly, so that her condition will not deteriorate again, and the postoperative recovery is unpredictable. ”

Xu Yang's mother immediately nodded and said, "Doctor Chen, we have been treated in many hospitals, and other hospitals have said that we can only save our lives, and we will definitely be paraplegic in the future."

After your treatment, there is still hope for her to stand up, and we are not unreasonable people, even if this operation fails, we will definitely not blame you. ”

Chen Jin instructed the nurse: "Let the patient's family sign the informed consent form for surgery and the consent form for clinical trials, and then prepare to start the operation."

The operation was ready, the shadowless light was on, Chen Jin was in charge of the operation, and Xiao Meiling cooperated.

He began to cut through Xu Yang's skin, and soon found the diseased spine.

This area has been completely occupied by cancer cells, and the bones have been twisted and deformed, but fortunately, the cancer cells have not spread, and the entire necrotic spine can only be completely removed.

If the cancer cells are elsewhere, it's just a minor surgery, but it happens in the spine.

The closed neuronal cells in the spine have been completely destroyed by cancer cells, and they will be removed along with the spine, and the brain will be completely unable to move through the innervation of the lower limbs.

It is not difficult for Chen Jin to remove the spine, but it must ensure that the severed nerve meets the requirements of nerve repair technology.

This is an extremely meticulous operation, and after an hour, Chen Jin finally completed the neurotomy, she was already sweating profusely, and there were nurses next to her from time to time to help her wipe her sweat.

She took out the artificial bones that had been made from the tray, which were titanium alloy bones printed according to 3D printing technology, and every detail perfectly matched Xu Yang's body structure.

Chen Jin put the cultured spinal fluid into the artificial bone, and began to connect the nerves in the spinal fluid with the nerves in Chen Yang's body.

She has to make sure that there are no errors in the type of nerve connection.

A layer of flocculent gel is applied to the outside of each nerve to help the nerve repair.

More than an hour passed, and Chen Jin stitched up all the nerves.

"Sister Xiao, my work is done, you can stitch it up." Chen Jin said a little tiredly.

"You go out and rest for a while, and I'll take care of the rest." Xiao Meiling nodded and said.

Chen Jin cleaned his hands and walked out of the operating room.

Xu Yang's mother asked anxiously, "Doctor Chen, how is my daughter's condition?"

"The operation was successful, her vital signs were stable, and as for the recovery effect, she could only wait until Xu Yang woke up." Chen Jin said gently.

Xu Yang's mother breathed a sigh of relief, showed a long-lost smile and said, "Thank you very much, Dr. Chen."

Chen Jin returned to the lounge, and she called Zhou Yu's phone.

"Husband, what are you doing?"

"It's the beginning of the month, and I'm now reviewing the company's financial statements for April, approving some of the plans that were carried out in May.

You're not busy in the hospital, how do you have time to call me. Zhou Yu asked curiously.

"Husband, my nerve repair technology has completed the first clinical operation, and I am very confident that this operation will be successful." Chen Jin happily shared.

"That's really nice, but it's new technology, and mistakes are inevitable.

The prospect of your technology is very good, even if it fails, don't be discouraged, I am your most solid backing, you must go on this road. ”

Zhou Yu encouraged Chen Jin not to be discouraged by a momentary failure if the clinical trial really failed.

"Husband, I've always been strong, aren't you worried about me?

Okay, let's not talk about it. It is estimated that Sister Xiao has already completed the operation, and I have to observe the patient's condition. Chen Jin said confidently.

Chen Jin soon came to the ICU ward where Xu Yang was, she checked Xu Yang's vital signs, and a smile appeared on her face.

At least through this operation, Xu Yang's life was saved, even if the nerve repair technology was not verified, Xu Yang could at least get the same treatment as other hospitals.

Chen Jin saw a nurse filming, she smiled and asked, "Xiao Zhang, what are you doing here?"

Nurse Xiao Zhang immediately explained: "Dr. Chen, this is what the dean asked me to do, and he said that if your technology is successful, it will be an epoch-making technology, which can directly solve many incurable diseases.

The first clinical case is important to preserve sufficient video evidence.

If this technology doesn't work out, then let's record some living materials. ”

Chen Jin smiled and didn't refuse, she knew that this was all normal.

Two days later, on May 6, Xu Yang was transferred from the ICU ward to the general ward.

Xu Yang's mother can also enter the ward to accompany her.

Chen Jin said to Xu Yang's mother in a gentle tone: "Xu Yang's recovery is very good now, if this operation is not successful, when this technique matures, she will have the opportunity to have a second operation in the future."

If this operation is successful, she can return to the level of a normal person as long as she undergoes scientific rehabilitation exercises in the future. ”

Xu Yang's mother had been staring at Xu Yang, and she suddenly saw Xu Yang's eyes open and she had woken up.

Xu Yang said in a weak voice: "Doctor, I am in pain, my back hurts now."

Chen Jin asked in surprise, "Xu Yang, are you sure it's a back pain?"

Xu Yang bit his lip and nodded.

Chen Jin took out a small hammer and tapped it on Xu Yang's leg.

"Do you feel any pain right now?" Chen Jin continued to ask.

"I don't think so, I haven't felt sensation in my leg for a long time." Xu Yang shook his head and said.

Chen Jin was wondering how Xu Yang felt, she felt pain for her juniors, which was exactly why nerve repair worked.

How could she not feel the blow of the hammer in her legs.

Chen Jin suddenly thought, "The stinging pain in Xu Yang's spine is very serious, will it cover up the pain in her legs."

Chen Jin took out the electromagnetic needle again and put it on Xu Yangzusanli's acupuncture point.

"Xu Yang, can you feel the strangeness of your legs." Chen Jin asked softly.

Xu Yang frowned, and said tentatively: "There is a feeling of soreness and swelling, as if there are ants crawling on your legs."

Chen Jin smiled and said excitedly: "Xu Yang's mother, the operation was a perfect success, as long as Xu Yang undergoes rehabilitation training, she will be able to return to normal."

Xu Yang's mother suddenly hugged her daughter and cried bitterly, "Yangyang, did you hear that?" Did you hear that? You can get back on your feet in the future. ”
