The results of the CT scan came back quickly. Song Hualin's injuries were serious, but miraculously did not hurt his spinal cord. His pivotal vertebrae were confirmed to be type 1 fractures, thoracic vertebra type 2 fractures, and lumbar compression fractures. If this kind of injury is replaced by ordinary people, even if he does not die on the spot, he may not be able to avoid high paraplegia in the future. And Song Hualin is not only alive and well, but can even move his toes and fingers a little. This is indeed an extremely rare miracle.

However, looking at the experts of the Department of Orthopedics of the Tongxie Association, they were silent for a long time when they looked at Song Hualin's broken pivotal vertebrae.

"If you don't do replacement, I'm afraid this bone won't be able to pick it up. Academician Qiu shook his head and said to Director Wang, "Has the data from Southern Medicine come out?"

"It's been sent to the manufacturing table. Director Wang nodded, "It will take about two hours to complete the manufacturing over there." With the addition of heat treatment and polishing, it takes about six hours. ”

"Six hours?" Academician Qiu frowned dissatisfiedly, "Can't it be faster?"

"This is already the fastest speed, and the heat treatment and polishing of the implants are all high-achieving students from Mizuki University. Director Wang smiled bitterly, "Although the accuracy of our printing is already very high, there will still be processing marks on the prosthesis, and if it is not polished, the processing marks on it may lead to tissue hyperplasia." Without heat treatment, the strength of the metal component is enough, but the toughness is insufficient. If this patient is so unlucky, and encounters another accident like this, maybe the prosthesis will blow to pieces. When the time comes, there will be no need to rescue him - he is dead. ”

Since the steps cannot be curtailed, other preparations can only be expedited. This operation will be guided by Academician Qiu on the spot, and Director Wang will be in charge of the operation. The two discussed it a little and decided to go out for a meal first.

"You also have a word to the young people of the surgical team. Academician Qiu put on his coat and covered his head with a woolen hat, "I will give them two hours off, sleep when they should sleep, eat when they should eat, and take a bath when they should take a bath." There should be three anesthesiologists, and the nursing team and the chief surgeon should have more than two pairs of backups. He patted his coat, "Today's operation will take at least fifteen hours, everyone get ready." ”

Zhu Minhua took Sun Lien out of the CT room, "Did you plan to go back to Ningyuan today?"

Sun Lien nodded. Dr. Pascal's family had a long journey, and according to the original plan, they should indeed take a little rest this afternoon and then go directly to the high-speed train, so that they could reach Ningyuan the next morning.

"This surgery is really rare. Zhu Minhua patted Sun Lien's shoulder without seeing it, "If it's inconvenient, I'll call Liu Pingchuan to help you ask for leave." ”

This kind of thing is not suitable to bother the deputy director of the emergency department of Tongxie Hospital. What's more, Sun Lien also knew that with the character of his own director, if he didn't make a phone call from Professor Zhu, his future graduate life would end without a problem. So he quickly refused the kindness. "No, I'll just contact our director. ”

"Then you call quickly. Professor Zhu nodded, "Have you eaten at noon? Why don't you go to the cafeteria with me later? ”

Sun Lien nodded, took his mobile phone out of the hospital, and called Liu Tangchun to go out.

"Hey, Lien?" the call was quickly connected, and Liu Tangchun's voice sounded a little slurred, "What's the matter?"

"Got it. Sun Lien pondered in his heart for a long time how to talk to Liu Tangchun about this, but in the end he sighed, "Director Liu, Professor Zhu from the Association invited me to see an operation. ”

"Look. Liu Tangchun seems to be having lunch, and it is estimated that he is eating homemade box lunch claypot rice. "What kind of surgery is it worth asking him to see? There are quite a few fourth-level surgeries in our hospital." ”

Sun Lien sighed, "Total occipital cervical spine resection combined with 3D printing pivotal spine replacement." ”

"Poof!" There was a jingling sound from Liu Tangchun's side, and Sun Lien even heard Zhou Jun's voice, "Teacher Liu, you spilled coffee!"

Before Sun Lien could ask what was going on, Liu Tangchun shouted on the other end of the phone, "What's the matter?"

"Total occipital cervical spine resection with 3D printed pivotal spine replacement. Sun Lien answered honestly again, "It is to completely remove the patient's fractured occipital cervical vertebrae, and then replace it with a 3D printed metal artificial prosthesis......"

"Lao Tzu knows what it means to have a total occipital cervical spine resection!" Liu Tangchun shouted like an old cat whose tail had been stepped on, "Tongxie is going to have this surgery? I haven't heard of it! No, I'll wait!" Liu Tangchun seemed to understand something, and shouted on the other end of the phone, "Lien, let me tell you, Tongxie emergency is really nothing good." Don't look at him Zhu Minhua is a professor, he is not even a department head in the academy! This kind of person says nothing is reliable!"

Sun Lien explained with a wry smile, "Director Liu, you also know my level, and the Association will definitely not look down on me. This patient was met by me and Xiaohu on the way back to pick up people, so I followed the ambulance to Tongxie by the way. ”

"!ah...... Ah?" Liu Tangchun wanted to continue to say something bad about Zhu Minhua, but suddenly heard such an explanation, and suddenly changed his tone. "Well, then it makes sense for him to invite you to watch the operation. Liu Tangchun coughed twice, as if he wanted to cover up the embarrassment just now. "How long will the operation take? Is it possible that I won't be able to get back on time?"

"That's the question, that's why I wanted to call you and ask. Sun Lien was a little embarrassed, after all, this kind of thing is actually a bit unruly. Especially because I couldn't go back to work on time because of the surgery. "Otherwise, I'll put the matter on the back burner. ”

"Push, why push?" Liu Tangchun laughed, seeming to relax a lot, "If you have a advantage, you don't take advantage of the bastard." There is no precedent for this kind of surgery in China and abroad. Being able to visit it is also a great improvement for yourself. After a pause, he suddenly asked, "How long will the operation begin, and how long will it last?"

Academician Qiu from the Department of Orthopedics said that the prosthesis may take at least six hours. The surgery itself lasts at least 17 hours. Sun Lien thought about it and found that this time was really not short. "I guess when the operation is over, it will be this time tomorrow. ”

"It's no problem for you to visit. Liu Tangchun thought for a while, "But you have to talk to Zhu Minhua and let Yourong also visit." ”

"Huh?" Sun Lien was stunned, "But isn't Dr. Xu still in Ningyuan......

"I can let her fly over. Liu Tangchun smiled, "Since you can take advantage, you must take advantage of it, and take Xiaohu with you." If Dr. Pascal wanted to let his family stay in Beijing for an extra day, he could have visited. If I don't want to, I'll have someone else pick them up. ”

"Visiting the surgery?" the black MPV finally arrived at Tongxie Hospital. Hu Jia jumped out of the car, got into Sun Lien's arms directly, and gave him a big hug. Dr. Pascal also slowly got out of the car, and after hearing Sun Lien's suggestion, he looked at the Tongxie Hospital behind Sun Lien with great interest. "I've never heard of this kind of surgery, it's a new surgical plan, right?"

"Based on the information I have, this should indeed be the first of its kind in the world. "People who engage in scientific research like the saying "the world's first" and "the world's first". Sun Lien nodded and said, "I have already discussed with Professor Zhu from the Association just now, and with my words, I can bring a total of five people in to visit." ”

"Then of course I'd like to visit. Dr. Pascal readily agreed to Sun's invitation. He turned to his wife and said softly, "Honey, you can take the children to the hotel to rest first." ”

Rachel counted the number of people present and wondered, "But only the four of us here are medical personnel, right? Why five?"

Xu Yourong has already taken the plane to the capital. Sun Lien smiled and announced the second good news, "There is still a place, which is the ...... reserved for her."

"YES!" Rachel jumped vigorously on the spot, ran directly to Sun Lien, and hugged him and Hu Jia who were hugging him. "Great!"

Hu Jia looked at Rachel, then at Sun Lien, who looked embarrassed, put his mouth to his ear and whispered, "Don't worry, if Rachel hugs, I won't be jealous." ”

Sun Lien carried his bag and returned to the hotel with Hu Jia. The surgery would be physically draining after a while, and he had to find a place to sleep as soon as possible. Although Sun Lien repeatedly refused, in the end, under the strong persuasion of Hu Jia's "don't worry, I won't do anything to you", he still honestly carried his luggage and entered the room with her - although the hotel already had extra rooms today.

Dr. Pascal's family decided to stay an extra night in Beijing. The two children seem to have recovered from the fatigue of traveling, and they are clamoring to see the pandas. After inquiring about the hotel reception, Mrs. Pascal decided to make a trip on her own. Before leaving, Sun Lien deliberately gave Mrs. Pascal the mobile phone numbers of himself and Hu Jia, and repeatedly instructed him to call him immediately if he had any problems.

Putting down the luggage, Hu Jia directly stuffed Sun Lien into the bathroom. "There's a plastic bathtub cover I brought in it, you spread the plastic cover in the bathtub and soak it in the water for a while. Otherwise, I'm going to catch a cold!" When Sun Lien began to lay out the water with an embarrassed face, Hu Jia said at the door, "I'll go out to buy some food and come back, if you're tired, go to bed directly, and I'll tell you to get up and eat." ”

has been single for so long, where has Sun Lien received this kind of treatment. My heart was full of joy and emotion. He was indeed not lightly frozen, and he already had a headache this time. Looking at the steaming bathtub, Sun Lien simply took off his clothes and got into the water.
