For congenital microtia like Vicky, the treatment principles are basically as follows:

One is a non-surgical method in which a prosthetic ear is made of plastic or silicone. But there is a disadvantage, that is, this ear is fake, it will not have a feeling, and it belongs to the inferior.

The first stage is to implant about 4 titanium nails in the bone in the mastoid area, and wait for the titanium nails to be completely integrated with the bone (3 to 6 months); Then, in the second stage of surgery, the prosthetic ear that has been made is connected to the implanted titanium screw.

The third is the classic Tanzer-Brent method of total ear reconstruction, which is more complicated and has to be divided into four stages.

The fourth is one-stage whole-ear reconstruction. In this method, the pedicle is lifted in the affected mastoid area in the anterior flap, and then the fascial flap is lifted in the deep layer; Cut from the rib cartilage and medium-thick skin piece, and carve the rib cartilage into the shape of ear cartilage scaffold; The scaffold is implanted between the two lobes that have been prepared, and the wound skin grafted behind the ears and in the mastoid area is wrapped.

The fifth is dilation whole ear reconstruction, which is divided into three stages, the first stage is to embed the dilator in the subcutaneous tissue layer of the mastoid area for skin expansion; The second-stage surgical procedure is basically similar to that of first-stage total ear reconstruction; Three-stage surgical reconstruction, ear nail cavity deepening, and medium-thick skin grafting.

These phased procedures are actually quite mature, insured, and have a high success rate, but they are protracted, and both the cost and the suffering of the child are much more.

One surgery is a sin, and no surgery is comfortable and relaxing.

In addition, in the case of major surgery, the patient's psychological pressure is also great.

There are many people abroad who need the help of a psychiatrist after being hospitalized for a long time.

Zhou Qiao still chooses the one-phase method.

At the same time, he also had to perform "eyelid reconstruction" on Vicky.

This is not a single eyelid creation, as Vicky was born without an eyelid and was almost completely blind in her left eye.

If it is serious, it is equivalent to being blind in this eye, ugliness is secondary, and invisibility is the key.

This eye, after Zhou Qiao, Murphy, and Stephanie discussed the surgical plan, and selected the best solution, that is, eyelid reconstruction, eye fetal reconstruction, and fake eye membrane transplantation.

After recovery, put a prosthetic eye in it.

Although this eye is still non-functional, with Zhou Qiao's technique, at least there is no abnormality in appearance.

Zhou Qiao has also contacted some institutions, but unfortunately, no one has donated his eyes at present.

Since the child is relatively small, the child's eyes are needed. Her mother wanted to donate, but the size was not suitable. Even if it succeeds, it ends up being "big and small", which looks even weirder.

This kind of incongruity, which affects the aesthetics, is fatal to girls.

So, in the end, the patient's family also agreed with Zhou Qiao's approach.

In addition, eye transplantation is actually quite difficult.

Vision is a very complex nervous system in the human body, involving countless nerves that are invisible to the naked eye. Tens of thousands of optic nerves, which are not visible to the naked eye, are all connected, and the difficulty can be imagined. It is estimated that except for Zhou Qiao, no one can do it.

It's much more difficult than breaking the formalities.

Even if all the nerves are perfectly anastomosed, what about rejection? The eyeball can be very close to the brain.

Perhaps, the way forward is nanorobots?

Zhou Qiao's shot must be a high-quality product. The surgery went very well.

……

Talia has been feeling depressed lately.

She misses very much the time ago, living with Zhou Qiao in Sacramento's two-person world.

Here, there is really very little time to be alone with Zhou Qiao, especially after her friend Jenna came over to "rub rice".

It's nothing to eat, and Talia is not such a stingy person, but after Jenna came, she and Talia were crammed into a hotel room for financial reasons.

They originally shared a house in Los Angeles, which is normal.

Jenna didn't think that much, how could she know that the little fairy Talia needed a separate personal space now.

With Talia's temperament, it is naturally impossible to "drive people away", so she and Zhou Qiao can only occasionally make out in the car or in the bathroom to comfort the pain of lovesickness.

Hollywood screenwriters and actors continue to go on strike, and this length of time has stunned the world.

Of course, this is also determined by the nature of the work.

A three-day strike by doctors and nurses is already the limit, after all, it is impossible to really ignore the hospitalized patients. Most doctors and nurses still have basic professional ethics.

Sometimes, medical staff strikes and marches are carried out in batches.

Dr. Victoria Ferves called Zhou Qiao and chatted about the current situation, and when he talked about it, Dr. Victoria Fervis expressed great envy.

……

A new Haidilao restaurant was opened in San Francisco, and Zhou Qiao took a few girls to eat hot pot.

I have to say that many foreigners in San Francisco are very good at using chopsticks, and there are many beautiful foreign girls in them.

Since it was a new store, many people came, including Koreans and Japanese.

Then Zhou Qiao's table nearby, there was a child celebrating his birthday, the clerk came to sing and dance, and a customer asked, "Do you know how to dance subject three?" ”

"Of course!" The clerks nodded their heads and gestured.

"Not only can we jump, but at the end of the month, we will have a staff subject three competition in the store!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked. The people around were stunned.

At the urging of the guests, the cheerful and rhythmic music sounded, and the "Laughing Jianghu DJ Version" started: "The sword raises the grievances of the rivers and lakes, brushes the sleeves to cover the bright moon, and the west wind leaves fall and thank the ......"

Three clerks lined up the glyphs, one Chinese and two foreigners, and began to dance skillfully, and many people stopped eating hot pot, watching, and taking pictures.

Elena, Ava, Murphy, and Stephanie smiled, they hadn't danced in a long time.

Zhou Qiao glanced at it casually, and was suddenly uninterested. Because, the subject three of the four best beauties around him danced, that is the real ceiling.

Although the dancing posture of these clerks is also good, it is quite eye-catching, but if there is a rank in dancing, a few girls are the kings of glory, and these clerks are silver at most.

Zhou Qiao didn't expect that subject 3 would actually become popular abroad, in many places.

Japan, Korea, the United Kingdom, Russia, Australia, Africa...... There are shakers everywhere, and they can be called sweeping the universe.

Not to mention a place like Treasure Island, which has the same text and the same species, some netizens joked, but they didn't expect "Dance Unity" to be the first to be realized!

Qin Shi Huang didn't expect that it would be subject 3 to unify the world.

No one would have guessed that it would be subject 3 that rushed out of Asia before the national football team.

Some netizens cried, I was going to take the subject three exam the day after tomorrow, but when I searched on the Internet, it was all this dance, and I couldn't find the teaching materials.

Some netizens smiled wryly, I twisted twice in the mirror, but my grandmother pointed at me with a peachwood sword and said, no matter who you are, get out of my granddaughter's body immediately.

Although subject 3 is a bit dirty, even the big names in the national standard circle have ended, which is enough to see its attractiveness.

……

Chinatown, a lion dance training ground.

In the antique backyard, twenty plum blossom piles of different heights are arranged in six groups.

The heroic girl with a single ponytail stood on a high plum blossom stake in the wind and shouted at the boy below: "Come up!" ”

The boy felt the faint pain coming from the heel of his left foot, and smiled bitterly: "I can't go up." I can't go up again. ”

"Don't you want to marry me?"

The girl took out a pair of small splendid brass lion ornaments, "snapped", and leaned over on the plum blossom stake.

This is a token of love from the boy to the girl, and they agree to win the lion king tournament together at the end of the year, when the boy will propose to the girl on the plum blossom stake on the spot.

However, more than a month ago, the boy had a problem with his right ankle.

The pain is unbearable, I can't even walk, how can I practice on the pile?

The boy came from a poor background since he was a child.

When he was one year old, his parents divorced, and he was sentenced to his mother, and when he was three years old, his mother remarried and went to Chicago to start a new family.

He became a child that no one wanted. He doesn't have a father, that's someone else's father, and he doesn't have a mother, that's someone else's mother.

If he has parents, why can't he remember what they look like? After his mother remarried, he rarely came back to see him, and he didn't even have much contact.

Fortunately, there is a master who loves him. The master is his mother's third uncle, who took pity on him, took him in, and raised him by his side since he was a child.

Follow the master and practice the ancestral lion dance stunt.

There was a problem with his ankle, and the master was also anxious, so he took him to a Chinese medicine hall in Chinatown, where the old Chinese medicine doctor specializes in treating bruises and injuries and is very good at orthopedics.

After the old Chinese medicine doctor examined it, he sighed on the spot and only asked, "Child, how old are you?" ”

The boy replied, "I'm eighteen! ”

"Eighteen years old...... Alas~......" The old Chinese medicine doctor sighed again.

Both the boy and the master were in a hurry.

The master hurriedly asked, "Doctor, my apprentice is ...... Is the foot serious? ”

The boy's eyes were also burning, and he stared anxiously at the old Chinese medicine doctor.

The old Chinese medicine doctor pulled his white beard and said very sadly: "His feet are wasted and cannot be cured." ”

So, he stopped talking, prescribed a pair of medicines, and let the boy's master lead him back.

I'm not afraid of the old Chinese medicine doctor smiling, I'm afraid of the old Chinese medicine doctor sighing, and the vertical version of the medical book.

The horizontal version is a medical book, but the vertical version of the dusty ancient book may be the Death Note.

This old Chinese medicine doctor is a very famous old doctor in the Chinese circle, and he made this comment, which may not be cured.

The master took the boy back, and the girl carefully boiled the medicine and brought it to the boy's bed.

The boy leaned on the head of the bed, and he was as lively as a little monkey in the past, but now he was stunned.

"Drink the medicine, just drink it. When you recover, I will accompany you in the lion dance. The girl comforted.

The girl was only seventeen years old, an innocent age, and she didn't believe that if she couldn't be cured, her beloved couldn't be wasted like this.

The boy picked up the bowl, tears dripping in the bitter liquid, endured the pain, and drank it all.

After conservative treatment, the boy's ankle pain was relieved, but he was also lame.

"This is our career and pursuit, do you really want to give up?" The girl stood on the plum blossom stake, looking at the pair of splendid lion ornaments, tears rolling down.

That's his younger sister, like him, an orphan adopted by the master, the two childhood sweethearts, and they agreed since childhood to carry forward the lion dance inheritance together.
