Chapter 161 The Operation Was Perfectly Successful

May 4th is Youth Day, today is a small holiday, but Chen Jin does not have a holiday. She has a crucial operation today.

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

After animal experiments have reached 100% success rate, clinical trials officially started today.

Chen Jin made preparations before the operation, and she walked out of the operating room to meet the family members of the patient.

"Are you the mother of patient Xu Yang?" Chen Jin asked softly.

"I'm Xu Yang's mother. His father has a mission in the army, so he can't 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 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 alloy inside her.

The neurons in the spinal cord are the most difficult to restore. We have extracted Xu Yang's stem cells to produce spinal fluid, which contains rich neurons, but no one knows whether the spinal cord can function normally.

Xu Yang is the first person to use this technology. We can only guarantee the smooth removal of the cancerous spine and prevent her condition from getting worse. The postoperative recovery is still unpredictable. "

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

After your treatment, she still has hope to stand up. We are not ignorant people. Even if this operation fails, we will never blame you. "

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

The operation is ready, the shadowless light is on, Chen Jin performs the surgery, and Xiao Meiling cooperates.

Started to cut Xu Yang's skin, and quickly found the diseased spine.

This part has been completely occupied by cancer cells, and the bones have been distorted and deformed. Fortunately, the cancer cells have not spread, so the entire necrotic spine can only be completely removed.

If the cancer was elsewhere, it would be a minor operation, but it happens in the spine.

The closed neuron cells in the spine have been completely destroyed by cancer cells. They will be removed along with the spine, and the brain will be completely unable to innervate the lower limbs.

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

This is an extremely meticulous operation. An hour later, Chen Jin finally completed the neurotomy. She was already sweating profusely, and there were nurses beside her to wipe her sweat from time to time.

She took out the manufactured artificial bone from the tray, which is a titanium alloy bone printed by 3D printing technology, and every detail perfectly fits 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 had to ensure that the type of nerve connection did not go wrong.

A flocculent gel is coated on the outside of each nerve to help the nerve complete its repair.

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

"Sister Xiao, my work is finished, you can sew it up." Chen Jin said wearily.

"Go out and rest for a while, and leave the rest of the work to me." Xiao Meiling nodded and said.

Chen Jin washed her 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 are stable. As for the recovery effect, we can only wait until Xu Yang wakes up." Chen Jin said gently.

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

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

"Husband, what are you doing?"

"These days are the beginning of the month, and I am now reviewing the company's financial statements for April and approving some plans for May.

You are not very busy in the hospital, why do you have time to call me. " Zhou Yu asked curiously.

"Husband, my nerve repair technology has completed the first clinical operation, and I have great confidence that this operation will be successful." Chen Jin shared joyfully.

"That's really nice, but it's new technology and mistakes are bound to happen.

The prospect of your technology is very good, don’t be discouraged even if you fail, I will be your most solid backing, you must go on this road. "

Zhou Yu encouraged Chen Jin, if the clinical experiment really failed, let her not feel discouraged by the temporary failure.

"Honey, I've always been strong, don't you trust me?

Okay, let's stop talking. It is estimated that Sister Xiao has finished the operation, and I am going 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 with a smile on her face.

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

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

Nurse Xiao Zhang immediately explained: "Dr. Chen, the director asked me to do it. He said that if your technology is successful, it will be an epoch-making technology that can directly solve many difficult and miscellaneous diseases.

The first clinical case is very important and sufficient video evidence should be retained.

If the technology doesn't work, let's record some life data. "

Chen Jin smiled and did not refuse, she knew this was 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, she will have the opportunity to have a second operation in the future when the technology matures.

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

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

Xu Yang said in a weak voice: "Doctor, I'm in pain. My back is hurting right now."

Chen Jin asked in surprise: "Xu Yang, are you sure it's your back that hurts?"

Xu Yang bit his lip and nodded.

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

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

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

Chen Jin was wondering about Xu Yang's feelings. She felt pain towards her younger generation, which is why the nerve repair works.

How could she not feel the blow of the hammer on her leg.

Chen Jin suddenly thought: "Xu Yang's spine hurts very badly, will it cover up the pain in her legs?"

Chen Jin took out the electromagnetic needle again and placed it on Xu Yang's Zusanli acupuncture point.

"Xu Yang, can you feel any abnormalities in your legs?" Chen Jin asked softly.

Xu Yang frowned, and tentatively said: "It feels sore and swollen, as if there are ants crawling on the legs."

Chen Jin smiled and said excitedly: "Mother Xu Yang, the operation was a perfect success. As long as Xu Yang goes through rehabilitation training, she can return to normal."

Xu Yang's mother suddenly hugged her daughter and burst into tears, saying: "Yangyang, did you hear that? Did you hear that? You can stand up again from now on."
